Behold! The glorious Lesser Spotted Bahfeemus* in his native habitat. Possibly.
*And yes. I had to go look it up again. How’s this for an entry in the drawing challenge, Nate?

Codex here: Q has a funeral to go to so he’s skipping this week’s Thursday post.
So I’m taking the opportunity to kick Facebook around a little. As you might guess from the title, I loathe the platform with fiery hatred of a thousand burning suns. Q thought I was being unfair and a social media dinosaur. Since I’m not a big fan of Tumblr, Instagram or Twitter either, (and don’t get me started on Pinterest—! Gah! So much dislike!) I thought he had a point. Maybe Facebook would work for Tempest in a Teardrop.
Hahhahahahajahahahahahahahahaha
Yeah.
Seriously, it seems as if Facebook is eating our comic. Before we got on it, he could tell if we’d done a comic that didn’t go so well. This whole comic-ing thing is a learning curve for both writer and illustrator, and getting a great yawning chasm of nothing where we used to get feedback is a big energy sink. As far as we can tell you have to pay the Beast with eyeball time (LOTS) and or money if it’s not going to disappear you.
Is there a way to actually connect on the thing? I’d say “no,” but maybe you readers who use and or like it (I find the latter hard to believe, but hey, it takes all kinds) can let us know what we should be doing?

Point the First
We would like to thank Glyph for her cartooning efforts while we were recovering from WorldCon. Glyph is a pre-teen going on 14, who reads at a twelfth grade level. When I catch her reading, which is often, I ask her which comic she has. If she does not have one, I give her one. In this way I have tricked her into reading Peanuts, Calvin & Hobbs, Bloom County, Captain Underpants, and Sheldon. She, of course, would prefer to read the classics: Madam Bovary and Moby Dick.

I was invited into a first-time Hugo-nominees hotel room and told those magic words every smart-alec loves to hear: make yourself at home. Hey, rookie mistake! I went for the rumored Hugo Swag Bag to see what it really contains.
Everybody talks about the diamond-studded Tesla and Scalzi-esque book publishing deal each nominee receives, but there is a lot more in there. Continue reading

Walked the art and dealer rooms as we’re oddly connected to both of those worlds. It was all going swimmingly until Codex ran into Dave Kellett, creator of Sheldon Comics. You must understand, Sheldon is one of the three major comic strips that inspired us to do Tempest in a Teardrop. The other two are defunct. This was like Miles Vorkosigan meeting Admiral Tung or a climate scientist meeting unclaimed grant money. Continue reading
