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.
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.
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 !
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.

A little taste of winter in the Maritimes. Maybe it is a LITTLE exaggerated...

Maybe someday Teri will forgive me for featuring my Movember moustache on a card.
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.
Do I get to consider this fan mail? I'm going to consider this fan mail. Hey, I got some fan mail*!
*Please note that risks from appearing in one of Eric's comics are actually quite minimal, including but not limited to: having one's nose drawn too big; having one's butt drawn too big; unsolicited photo tags in facebook; getting a free print of said comic from Eric upon request.

My comicstrip, Mon Qui Towne, has been having a very good few weeks! CBC 106.1 FM has hosted the last 5 strips, featured me on the radio, and has given my nerd-cred a much needed 'bump'.
HERE NB is featuring Mon Qui Towne this week, and it feels mighty good to see ink on paper again. It has been too long.
Thank you to everyone for your support, kind words and awkward confrontations in grocery stores ("Are you the guy from Alberta?").
A portrait requested by the Maeng family's to celebrate their residence extension in Canada. As many of us know, the Maengs had a very difficult summer and it was an honour to share in their excitement!
Just in time to be late for Christmas, my Skuloctopus tees are ready!

As is probably fairly obvious, I've goofed up and removed all of the non-Mon Qui Towne pictures from my blog. Yay, google+. I do apologize, and hope to fix up most of the blog next week. Until then, my b&w and colour images are still browsable in the links at the menu under the blog header. Catch toi later!
My comic Mon Qui Towne has started popping up as contribution to Salguod Xam's Sequential website. If you love your Canadian comics, then you already know that Sequential is the place to go for all things related to Canuck Comix. Many thanks to Xam and I look forward to putting the comic in front of many more eyeballs in the future!
I think this is my 3rd or 4th poster for Wagonstage's annual children's production. Great concept and a lot of fun to draw! Big thanks to Brian Dorscht for all of his help coordinating this project.
