By some amazing force of will, I actually am posting this Wednesday night. Yes, it was done more than 36 hours ahead of schedule. Which is the way things should always be, but, well, we know how that goes.

I’d like to thank everyone who’s pre-ordered the first issue of The Utopian print comic. I received a bunch of orders on day one of sales, and figured that would be most of the pre-orders, but I’ve had a few trickling in every day since then. Remember, this is a limited-time offer to get copies signed by yours truly, and to save yourself a bit on shipping before I turn sales over to IndyPlanet. People seem to be ordering one copy each of the two editions — Standard and Deluxe — which is really cool, unexpected and a testament to the talents of the two cover artists, Mark T. Zeilman and Hernan Valencia.

My girlfriend’s parents are in town this weekend, so there is a slight chance next week’s pages might be a hair late. But you’ll give me some slack, right? Right? No? Sigh … You and Kanye, always bringing me down.
