Pen Problems...

I think my Wacom Intuos 3 Grip Pen has a finally packed it in. It was working fine last night but this morning the first switch is sticking. It just selects everything all the time. Maybe it's the humidity...? Has anyone else had this problem?

Time to order a new one...

Today's Comic

Looks like there's a problem over at GoComics. Some comics aren't loading including today's Bleeker..so here she be...

Uggg

This is what my head has felt like the last couple of days. Can't beat the fun of inking with a sinus infection.

Today's Bleeker

For some reason today's comic didn't load on GoComics. It's on there now but if you missed it, here she be.
Dang computers!

Article in Die Zeit!

There's a feature article on Bleeker in this week's Die Zeit newspaper!

For the last year, Bleeker has appeared in every issue of Germany's largest national weekly newspaper (2 million readers weekly) so it's fantastic that this is my first major paper interview.

Thanks to Catriona for the article!

Very cool!

Bleeker In Textbook

After spending my years in university doodling in my textbooks, Bleeker is actually now officially in one!
Several Bleeker comics were included in the latest edition of Becoming A Critical Thinker A User Friendly Manual (Canadian Edition, Pearson Prentice Hall) by Sherry Diestler and Colleen Mahy. It's a blast to be in along side The Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, Hagar The Horrible and others.
Many thanks to Colleen for including my comics in her book and Kathleen McGill for championing them in the first place. Best of luck with the book!
