So… Mike and I arrived back in Columbus this morning at 2 AM.  When we first saw the city skyline on the horizon we started shouting out all the things we love about C-Bus.  The list can be summarized in one word:  home.

Wizard World Chicago made for a really long weekend, but it was a great show.  Here’s the recap…

Surprise!  The update is early!  I’m headed out for Wizard World Chicago, and frankly, I didn’t feel like dealing with the hassle of trying to post the update from my hotel room.  Lucky you!  Pages 13 & 14.  Enjoy!

If you’re going to be at the show, stop by!  We’re selling issues #1, 2 and 3, sketchbooks, prints, and commissioned sketches.  Mike & I will be sharing table 4218 with Alan Evans, and Michelle Timian & Chris Oatley will be hanging out at different times throughout the weekend.  We launched The Dreamer at Wizard World Chicago last year–selling mini teaser comics of just the first eight pages–and it’s fun to see just how far it’s come since then!

And VOTE this week to see the first appearance of another of Knowlton’s Rangers, Captain Brown!

Wow.  I’m back!  That week off felt really, really nice, but it feels like I’ve been gone forever!  To make up for it, I present:  Page 11 & 12!  The action starts now!  I hope you enjoy!

(Geez.  Alan sounds like such a grown up on this page.  What is Bea thinking…?)

So next week (June 27th-29th) I’ll be at the Wizard World Chicago Comic Convention!  Anyone else planning to be there?  Stop by, say hello and buy stuff.  ^_^  We’ll be selling my 2008 Sketchbook, Dreamer Prints, and Issues 1, 2 and 3 in print.  I’ll also be doing commission sketches.  C’mon now, don’t miss out on that!  If you wear a three cornered hat, I’ll even give you a discount.  ;)  So stop by table 4218 in Artist Alley and say hello!  I’ll be sharing table space with Alan Evans of Rival Angels fame.

And VOTE this week to see a sneak peek at next week’s pages.

Several of you have sent me links about this.  So I thought I’d share it with everyone.  A British 22 gun warship, the H.M.S. Ontario, was found at the bottom of Lake Ontario!  It sank during the American Revolution, in 1780.  When I first caught word of this, I got really excited–thinking about the artifacts that would be recovered from it.  I got starry-eyed as I began daydreaming about the potential traveling exhibit, much like the Titanic one that’s been all around the country (and quite worth your time if you haven’t seen it yet).  However, because there were 90 British soldiers on board when it sank, and 30 American prisoners, it’s considered a “War Grave” and won’t be excavated.  The ship is technically owned by the British government, and they want it left alone.

I guess I get that…  Except that MY Revolutionary War Grandpa’s grave is being dug up to make a CITY PARK and I… I just can’t find him.  And no one who might know where they moved him will return my phone calls.  If you can mess with a grave to put in a bench and a shade tree, excavating a sunken ship to gather historical artifacts sounds reasonable.

But… clearly I’m angry about something unrelated.  ;)  This was a cool discovery!
