My buddy, Scott Zirkel, is helping out the American Cancer Society and Comics for Cures by auctioning off a few sketch cards.  You can check out the sketch cards and place your bids at the following links:

Here are some recent commissions I drew.  I’m pretty happy with how they turned out, so I thought I’d share ‘em with ya’lls.

David Reddick is a cartoonist who wears many hats.  He draws a couple comic strips over at rodenberry.com,  he’s an accomplished single-panel cartoonist, and he works for Jim Davis at PAWS, Inc. drawing and writing Garfield comic strips.  So you can imagine that I was quite honored when David asked me to draw a guest strip for his wonderful comic strip, The Legend of Bill.  You can check out my guest strip right here.

I’ve been struggling with a way to present this bit of news eloquently, so I’m just gonna lay it all out there in one big pile:

I’ve decided to end YHT.

This decision was not an easy one, and I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about it and talking it over with my friends and family.  2008 has been a difficult year for me personally, and I believe that now is as a good a time as any to end one project and start working on the next.

The final “You’ll Have That” strip will be published on Friday, January 2nd, 2009.  I hope to tie up as many loose ends as possible over the next two months, and I’ll try my darnedest to post these last strips on time!  In February of ‘09 I’ll be launching a new comic feature here at this site.

So I hope you guys will stick around to see how this cartoon concludes and sneak a peek at the comic I’ll be launching early next year.  I’ve always appreciated all of your support and encouragement, and my biggest fear is that I’m disappointing most of you.  I guess that’s a good problem to have, but I would hope that most of you would stick around for the next chapter in my cartooning career.  I’m going to need your support more than ever in the coming months!

New comic strip will be up late on Friday.  Sorry for the delays.

In other news, check back on Monday for a major announcement that I will majorly announce.

So, the Mid-Ohio Con has come and gone, and I had a pretty rad time.  My buddy, Jage, hung out with me all weekend at the YHT booth, and he did a great job of keeping me company.  Saturday was pretty busy, but Sunday was rather slow so it was good to have a friend to talk to about nerdy things and sports.

I have a few pictures from the weekend that you can see on my flickr site.

I was lucky to have awesome neighbors at the con, too.  Thom Zahler and his buddy, Jesse Jackson, were sitting on our left, and Billy Tucci kept busy drawing sketches on our right.  We didn’t have the opportunity to talk much with Billy Tucci as he kept pretty busy drawing and chatting with fans, but he was a pretty cool guy.  Jage and I had plenty of time to yap with Jesse Jackson and Thom Zahler, though.  Both gentlemen are exquisite human beings, and it was pleasure to occupy booth space next to them.

On Sunday I had the awesome opportunity to participate in a panel about webcomics.  The panel was made up of Thom, Ray Tomczak - creator of “Wasted Potential“, Steve Horton - author of “Webcomics 2.0“, Chris Eliopoulos - creator of “Misery Loves Sherman“, and myself.  Unfortunately, there were more participants on the panel than there were people in the audience, but we still had a good time chatting about the business of webcomics.  Chris told some fun stories about working with guys like Brian Michael Bendis, Robert Kirkman, and Erik Larsen.  Thom Zahler tossed in a few stories about lettering books for Marvel.  I told everyone how my mom is proud of the way I dress.

During the con, I was interviewed by a podcast called Comic Related.  You can listen to the podcast here.  My interview starts at the 18:40 mark.
