Life has been tumultuous lately, and I totally forgot that January 10th was the fifth year anniversary of The Dailies. Fortunately, comics are not aware of the passage of time (to my knowledge).

As a human, however, I am aware of the passage of time sometimes. For example, I know that my upcoming book contains 1,096 days of comic strips from the total 1,830 strips made so far.

You will be able to hold this book in your hands at TCAF this May, which is only 115 comic strips from now. My publisher has also informed me that we might have a handful of advance copies in time for The MoCCA Festival.

This book will be hardcover and adorned with silver and gold. The contents will be full colour. It will likely be heavy enough to subdue a home intruder if thrown correctly.

Although I’m a little surprised to realize that five years have passed since I started this project, my mind is most blown by the fact that there’s a James Kochalka quote on the back of my book. Fetch me my smelling salts, someone.

Anyway, thanks for reading and keep your eyes out for this thing. Happy belated birthday, comics.
