Join the Beta, free sign-ups.

There are lots of glue and staples still, but every day the site gets better and better. I think it's ready for a limited release, beta testers if you will. So please join us at http://www.kingtractorpress.com for the new King Tractor Press webcomic site. Subscribe and you'll get email reminders of the updates.

Right now we've got five comics (in various stages up). And two are live.

Alecto : Songbook = Tuesday - Thursday weekly updates.
Innocent = Tuesday - Friday weekly updates.

I got bumped.

I'm sure you already know by now, but I got bumped from Mancow. As my friend and co-writer David would say, at least I got bumped by someone interesting. The producer called to say that they will reschedule soon and if they do I'll make sure that I tell all of you.

On the flipside, Jason May has helped me get a new webcomic site up. It's still under construction but it's worth checking out already. I've got an entire Innocent story up and art from the upcoming series. We've got a few other series we'll be adding in the next month.

Check it out at

Each webcomic is on a 2-3 page update schedule a week...so it'll be like 3-4 FREE comics a month. How can you beat that?

Elmo T.M.X. scoop! Here are the details!!

The X in TMX Elmo stands for 10. It's Tickle Me Elmo 10, not some Elmo rapper as some have suggested.


Now I've got the scoop. This guys moves like crazy and says "I got tickled." when he stands up. (Why do I know this? Thank my daughter.)

There are three ways to make him giggle.

#1 - Press his foot or belly and hear him say, "You tickled Elmo." Watch him go from standing to sitting. Then, he falls back, sits and stands straight up again - the whole time giggling away and flapping his right arm.


#2 - Touch his belly again, and he sits and rolls from one side to the other. He ends up on his back, kicking his legs, flapping his arms and giggling with the words, "You did it again."

#3 - If you press his belly again, he does everything! Elmo sits, rolls from side to side, onto his back then ends up on his belly. Elmo T.M.X. pounds the floor with his hand as he continues to laugh.

Elmo phrases are: "Again, again," "Give Elmo a break, please," and "I can't stop laughing!"

Requires 6 "AA" batteries, included. And is 15" tall.

This Thursday 6:30 AM PST we're on Mancow radio.

At 6:30 AM PST this upcoming Thursday I'll be on the Man Cow show radio program.

Not exactly sure what to expect, but I'll be on promoting the King Tractor Press comics, Family Bones and Devil Water. I have a feeling that the mancow crew is not exactly big comic book readers, but I could be wrong.
