This is some VERY special news! Our dear friends from Moncton have finally been granted permanent residence in Canada!!
In 2011, while living in Moncton, our neighbours and dear friends, The Maengs, found out that their family was being deported back to South Korea because of their young son's autism. Thanks to the Times & Transcript's Eric Lewis, the news went public on the front page on a Saturday morning.
As part of the reaction to losing part of our community, I created a comic strip tribute to the Maengs. Thanks to social media, it circulated quickly, and I'm told that it helped to bring attention to the Maengs' plight.
Happy holidays to our friends, family and everyone who has been so supportive this year! Thanks to everyone for your support and for all the love shown to my little comic-strip, Slaughterhouse Slough.
To celebrate our 8th card, Teri & I present a little Christmassy retrospective, wishing you & your loved ones a warm & wonderful holiday season.

Maybe someday Teri will forgive me for featuring my Movember moustache on a card.
Hi everyone! A quick note to ask you to visit my PATREON page, and consider weekly micro-donations to support my weekly comic-strip. Patreon is making it possible to support independent cartoonists and keep the ink flying. Thank you!
PS--- Also there is an introductory video, so if you only visit to watch me look awkward in front of a webcam, well, that's cool too.
WHOA! EIGHT PANELS! WHAA?!
Don't get used to it, this was a lot of work. But it was a worthy and necessary effort! No cutting corners here at Slaughterhouse Slough. Big thank yous, for assisting me in wrapping my head around this blustery city, to Environment Canada's Bill McMurtry & CTV's Dory Rossiter! Stay warm out there, folks.
In other news:

They are here! Sad Robot bags are printed on heavy duty polyester; 11" high X 17" wide; chocolate, charcoal or navy, $15 + shipping. Printed by the good folks at Giv' 'Er Shirts !
An abundance of fun & interesting illustrations and deadlines means that we'll be waiting a little bit longer for this week's Slaughterhouse Slough. Thanks folks,
Welcome to Slaughterhouse Slough! Renaming Mon Qui Towne was hard to do, but so was moving! I trust you will enjoy the new format, should be a little friendlier to those of you on hand-held devices. Thank you to all my new Lethbridge readers, and I hope my Maritime readers will keep following along too (and come for a visit!).
A little tribute to my dear Grandmother who passed away this week. A series of Maritime-y storms has kept me from going home to Alberta...so I'm figured I'd just do what I do best, long-distance.
Happy holidays to our friends, family and everyone I've had the opportunity to work with this year! Thanks to everyone for your support and for all the love shown to my comic-strip, Mon Qui Towne.
Teri & I have just sent out our 2012 Christmas cards, it is hard to believe it is our 7th card! Here is a little Christmassy retrospective, wishing you & your loved ones a warm & wonderful holiday season.

MON QUI TOWNE HAS 100 LIKES ON THE FACEBOOK! Shut up, that's a big deal for me! Maybe not in the world of internets and viral craziness, but I'm doing a little dance anyways.
