If you saw me in the back of a police car, what would you think I was there for?
Answer me, then post this in your own journal (or, you know, don't) to see how many different crimes you get accused of committing.

10:16 am - Prop 8 is Gay
But I'm not. Let's get one thing straight: me. Straight as an arrow. So straight it's probably un-cool. I'm not even a twinge bi. There are some pretty men out there, but I won't be sleeping with any of them. So believe me when I say that I have no personal stake in this battle…other than a love for freedom, reason, justice, and maturity.
I'm not an avid blogger...( click here for the tirade )

12:21 am - Fiction Clemens Issue TWO - Now in Stores!!!
Heya folks!
Fiction Clemens issue 2 has arrived from space, and can be found in comic shops all across the land.
This book's cover was illustrated by Freedom Drudge, and colored by Veronica Gandini and Alek Marmontel. The insides are as beautiful as issue 1, and the bizarre adventures of Fiction Clemens and Dune Trixie continue, as they try to figure out just what the heck their writer was thinking!
You should be able to find the issue in your local comic shop, but if they are out of stock, or (heaven forbid) didn't get any, click HERE to order the book on-line.
The terrific reviews keep trickling in for Fic:
Voyages Extraordinaires
Ain't it Cool News (scroll down to the "Indie Jones" section)
Comic Village
That's that, fellers and females. Thanks as always for your tremendous support. I hope you're digging the story so far. I'm on my way to the San Diego Comic Convention, and will let you know how that all goes down.
Here's to y'all--Keep grasping at straws and spinning them into gold!

02:00 am - Fiction Clemens NOW Available in Stores
This post is a week late, and I blame Seattle/Portland.
Last Wednesday, Fic issue 1 hit the shelves. I got to see it there, sneaking into comic stores, sometimes anonymously, sometimes with my giddy shy pride, and wow... yeah. It feels great!
Anyway, the point is, if you want it, you can now get it. And you should want it... oh yes, yes you should.
Apparently some stores have sold out already (Gah!), and Diamond has already done a re-order from the publisher. Any comic store should be able to get a copy, but if you have problems, it's also available on-line.
You can order directly from the publisher HERE
Meanwhile, you can get a taste of the mighty flavor by checking out the on-line reader. I think you get to see the first 12 pages or so.
And that's that! Issue 3 is still available for pre-order, so be sure to demand that your local comic shop stock up and stock well.
Order Code: MAY083593
G'night everbuddy!

When, you ask? Friday, May 9th, from 9pm to whenever.
Where, you ask? Six Arms, where six-fisted drinkers dwell. 300 E. Pike, Seattle

Please, if you can make it, getcherselves out there. My cohort in webcomics, Steve Saunders will also be dragging along his crew, and I must prove to him that my crew can trounce his crew in a pitched battle of wits and revelry.

12:53 pm - Update Conglomoration, inc.
Here's a smattering of What'sGoingOn(tm) for all you out on LJ land.
Fiction Clemens continues to gain momentum with the press. Here are some of the latest features:
CBR Feature article with preview art
NEWSARAMA's headlining review in "Best Shots" -- "A futuristic western meets Alice in Wonderland or perhaps OZ, and that really doesn't do the overall insanity of the book justice...There's nothing quite like Fiction Clemens on the market."
BROKEN FRONTIER (feature Review) --"The comedy is laugh out loud and the characters fascinating. The story itself kicks off with a bang and hardly ever relents."
FOOL BRITANNIA --"There is so much joy, such love of life and energy in this book it positively made my heart dance."
GEEKSPEAK RADIO Podcast Interview
It's April, so Fiction Clemens Issue 2 is now available for pre-order. As with issue 1, all your calls to encourage local comic shops to carry the book will make a huge difference to the cause.
Here's the info:
Fic Issue 2 is on page 212 of this month's (April) "Diamond Previews Catalog" and will hit the shelves in June.
The ORDER CODE for issue 2 is "Apr083546"
Fiction Clemens is a 3-issue mini series of 52-page, all-ages, full-color books (all books are complete and will be released monthly).
Each book retails for $5.95
Fiction Clemens is published by "Ape Entertainment"
All of the interior art for Fic is by the cover artist for Fic #1
Other than the grueling job of promoting Fiction, I'm working on about a half-dozen other projects, co-conspiracies with other writers/artists, and attempting to spend as much time as possible laying in the grass by the sweet rivers of Missoula.
One such project is already churning about on the Internets. Orcusville, a daily web-comic of chaos, recycled art, and ridiculocity. The ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/syndicated.gif) orcusville_feed beckons you and you cannot resist:
For those of you on the West Coast, I'm going to be putting together a signing tour from Vancouver to San Diego late-June through mid-July. It'll be a good time to catch up with everyone I haven't seen since sticking my head in the desert sands of Arizona.

09:41 pm - Orcusville: The reminder!!!
For those of you who don't know, my good friend Steve and I have been working on a webcomic for the last month or so. We've even managed to swing it so that there's a new strip EVERY DAY! Imagine that!
Lord Orcus is on MySpace and for LJ lovers, grab the orcusville_feed (just add it to your freindslist and presto! Free spiritual bacon!!).

01:50 pm - Fiction Clemens Issue 1 is now in Previews...
...And what this means, my fantabulous friends, is that NOW is the time to go to your local comic shops and DEMAND that they order in copies of "Fiction Clemens issue 1".
If you do ONLY ONE thing to help the cause, this is it.
Just head down to (or call) your local comic shop(s) and say you know of this book "Fiction Clemens" that is coming out in May and you really want them to order some copies.
You can even give them the following information to make their decision easier:
Fic Issue 1 is on page 211 of this month's "Diamond Previews Catalog"
Fiction Clemens is a 3-issue mini series of 52-page, all-ages, full-color books.
Fiction Clemens is published by "Ape Entertainment", publishers of "Teddy Scares" and "White Picket Fences"
All of the interior art for Fic is by the cover artist for Fic #1
The ORDER CODE for issue 1 is "Mar083428"
So that's it. You have no idea how much it would help if everyone simply picked one comic store and requested the book. Huge! HUGE mind-bending, earth-shattering help!!!
And that friends, is my supplication of the month. More news should be coming your way in the next couple weeks. This long road has nearly reached show time.
Thanks y'all,
Fic and Lucy

So Lucy gets a teaspoon of glucocamine every night for her joints. But tonight I couldn't find the little serving spoon I usually give it to her in. I usually keep it in the same place every day, but it wasn't there...poor little lucy joints. I looked everywhere, in the drawers, on the counter, under the bed. I couldn't find it anywhere. I must've looked for 10 minutes, in every nook and hidey hole in the room, but no luck. And that's when I realized: there is no spoon.

11:12 pm - philosophicization
Tonight Mandy and I had a 2 hour IM argument about mind/body. It delved into an analysis of the nature of laughter, whether souls can exist independent of a body, and if that topic is even worth discussing. Turns out it is, because we had fun.
So anyway, we slog through a hundred ins-and-outs, and our ultimate conclusion at the end of the night was:
Stuff exists.
You Gotta love Philosophy.
just don't let it love you back. bad touch!

07:46 pm - brace yourselves, Lucyfurr specOps comin' atcha
So I expected something like a cast with built-in stabilizing rods. What I got was a sexy hott-pink, top of the line, fancy-pants, loose-fitting, government-issue, doggy special Ops machine-core full-body explosion.
It's called the A-Trac Dynamic Brace (The Anti-Translational Cruciate Brace).
Wtf are THESE things? Seven loops in a row for fitting shotgun shells or attaching grenades?
Lucy looks like she's ready for her first secret mission into an underground strip club in the Kremlin...
She hates it.
She has to wear it for 3 months straight.
Here are 4000 words worth of pictures:

09:25 pm - ok, seriously
New Litmus test for what really matters:
Suppose there is a super-advanced Alien civilization out there, and they have developed a means of traveling hundreds of thousands of light years to reach us.
They arrive and contact all mankind. What do you think is the most likely piece of socio-political advice they will give us to help save society?
a) Keep the gays from marrying each other.
b) For the love of God and all the little creatures, do NOT use dead fetuses to research medical breakthroughs. Bury them so they can go to heaven.
c) Allow kids to pray in school. That's where God keeps his microphones.
d) NEVER EVER burn your flapping symbol of national egoism that continues to keep you securely convinced that you're better than everyone else.
e) Find out exactly what God's REAL name is so that letters to him do not get lost in the Galactic Postal System
f) Try to overcome your differences and work together to fight the problems that threaten your natural resources, ecosystem, and survival
Sorry I don't have polls anymore. This will have to do.

04:46 pm - Lucy leg
So the other day Lucy and I were heading home from the hills and she suddenly started limping.
She won't put weight down on her left rear leg.
Today we went to the vet and they think she has "Cruciate Ligament Rupture". We'll see how she does this week. Options involve surgery and a Knee-brace. Both are pricey.
Any wonderful advice from the doglovers of america?
Maybe this is what she's been worried about all these years.
*sigh*

08:46 pm - Publication Announcement (for really reals!)
Apologies to those of you who've already seen this 900 times. Them's the perils of having accounts all over the Internets...
It's been a wild two years for Fiction Clemens. As if it weren't enough of a hassle just trying to stay alive, he's floated from convention to convention, in and out of the hands of publishers, and endured dreaded schedule problems. But this is the real deal.
Fiction Clemens Issue 1 will be released in May, 2008 through the combined efforts of SpaceDog and Ape Entertainment, a stellar Independent Comic Book publisher, whose titles sometimes involve cowboys and other times involve aliens and conspiracies (and are soon to involve all three). It feels like Fic has found his perfect home.
The first issue will be showing up in Diamond Previews this March, so be sure to demand your local comic shop puts in their order. The second issue will come out in June, and the third in July. All three books will be on shelves in time for this year's San Diego Comic Convention.
I want to thank everyone who has stuck with me through this bumpy ride, especially those of you who bought characters and have had to endure setbacks waiting for Fic's release. A special thanks to Lauren Perry, Christian Beranek, and various members of the Silent Devil crew who opened the doors of Comicdom, and helped me learn the ropes.
More info will be forthcoming over the next few months as Fic moves forward (and a few other irons in the fire are coming to fruition as well).
So long fer now. Yup.
