  • A book you should be reading: “The Name of the Wind”

    Very rarely does a book come along that rivals the likes of Lord of the Rings. Patrick Rothfuss’ “The Name of the Wind” is just that sort of book. It is the story of Qvothe, a seemingly simple innkeeper in an unassuming small village.  One day a strange comes knocking…

  • A little bit more about Mordred

    I thought I’d let you in on some of the inspiration for our wicked villain.  In the coming week’s we’ll learn much more about his past, but until then here’s some info on how I developed him. The name was a bit of a mistake.  I wanted to give him…

  • Preview of upcoming comic!

    This isn’t something I’ve really done before, but seeing as how my comic only updates once a week, I’ve decided to give a taste of what’s to come.  Hopefully this will keep you hooked between Tuesdays. Here is a glimpse of a sketch for a future comic: Ooh!  What could…
