I’m excited to be exhibiting at Rose City Comic Con (Sept. 21 & 22. in Booth 621.) How come? Well…
—First of all, I love nearby Portland. (Home of Powell’s Books and the TV show Portlandia.)
—This’ll be the North American premier of a staggering amount of fun, new Last Kiss merchandise. (Shipped all the way from Finland!) Show up early and you could be the first person in North America to buy a Last Kiss coaster, iPhone cover or other cool goody from Pop Art Funnies Finland.
Displays of some of the Last Kiss products produced by Pop Art Funnies Finland.
—I’ll be on the “Digital Revolution” panel at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22, along with web cartoonist Terry Blas (Briar Hollow), Ibrahim Moustafa (High Crimes), Chris Sebela (High Crimes), Erika Moen (Bucko), Shawn Aldridge (Vic Boone), and Greg Rucka (Lady Sabre.)

I recently posted a panel depicting a woman who’s breeding cats—even though her handsome neighbor hates them. A lot of fans have asked me how this romance turned out.
Frankly, this little saga is full of hilariously inappropriate moments too absurd to miss. So here’s the entire seven-page story in all it’s catty infamy!

This may be the only Gila Monster action-adventure-romance story in existence. Drawn by Ward King, it was one of many “Sheriff Sal” stories. This one originally appeared in Western Adventures #6, 1949.

Secret Romance #21 featured two lovers at a masquerade party.
Earlier this week, I posted the current Couple-Up caption contest and some people “made an ass out of you and me.” In short, they a-s-s-u-m-e-d!
They looked at the contest art and went “Ah ha! That’s Black Canary and Green Arrow!”
That’s okay because I a-s-s-u-m-e-d they would.
After all, the characters look like Black Canary and Green Arrow. And Mike Grell—who contributed the opening contest caption—is famous for (among other things) writing and drawing Black Canary and Green Arrow.
But guess what—they’re not Black Canary and Green Arrow.
The art is actually a recreation—by Diego Jourdan Pereira—of the cover of Secret Romance #21 from 1972 . When my original guest writer had to drop out, Diego suggested the obvious: Mike Grell!
