I’m finally back from the RT Booklovers Convention in Atlanta where I had so much fun that it should’ve been illegal. (But fortunately wasn’t!)
I premiered today’s comic at the con where it was a big hit with many of the authors (surprise) who visited my sales table. I’ll post photos from the con in a few days. Luckily, most of ’em aren’t too incriminating!

Sorry. No original art this time. This image is a bit of a mashup. I used art from an old Bill Ward romance comic for the jail bars. And art from another romance story drawn by the Vince Colletta Studio for the woman.
