I’ve got an extremely awesome sale going on for Skin Horse right now. From now until the end of January, for every copy of Skin Horse Volume One you purchase, I will send a randomly selected original daily strip. These normally sell for $50, but I’m moving and I need to lighten my load.

Oh, and if you want a specific strip, you can purchase one for the normal price of $50. Which might be worth doing if you don’t want your favorite strip to go to somebody who doesn’t appreciate it on the same level you do.

Strips are about 4″ high by 11″ wide, ink on bristol. Most strips look about the same as they do online, plus or minus some correction fluid. Start the new year with comic art!

Please visit the Couscous Collective Store or e-mail me (at) shaenon.com for more information!

Both Shaenon and Andrew have been interviewed by Sequential Tart! Check out what makes them tick, who there influences are, and what they’re up to next.

The end.

Thus ends “Homeschool Joe Goes to School.” I’m going to Japan for a couple of weeks, and then I’ll try to figure out what to do next with Li’l Mell. I’ve got a lot of stories in mind but no particular plans for how to tell them. We’ll see.

After a long absence, GraphicNovelReview.com is back, and kicking off the relaunch is a scary huge essay I wrote on yaoi manga. There’s more yaoi stuff to come, and I’ll be writing regular graphic novel reviews for the site for as long as they keep paying me.

Also, I keep forgetting to mention that my biweekly column for Comixology.com, “All the Comics in the World,” is still going strong. My latest column is about the silent issue of G.I. Joe.

One page left to go…

Another nice review of Skin Horse Volume 1, this one at Sequential Tart. Hooray!

Homeschool Joe’s farewell to the troops.

Nice review of Skin Horse Volume 1 on Comic Book Resources. Boss!

Gary Tyrrell of webcomics news site Fleen has read the entire archive of The Chronicles of William Bazillion, and apparently he liked it enough to write about it at length on his site. He does a pretty good job of summarizing the plot, too, so if you’ve been on the fence about checking it out, you can tell at a glance if you’re likely to enjoy it or if it’s something you really need to avoid at all costs.

Don’t hide behind George Washington, young man!
