   I thought to myself “Well, if sometimes the comic has that eerie way of making things come true, …I might as well try…”

   I know the request has always been for me to write a strip where I win the lottery, lol!! However, this felt like the dice to roll.

   Here’s hoping!

   Thank you, Killer Roombas from Outer Space! Let’s hope you work your algorithm magic over the next twenty years, lol!

   Hello! I’ve had some folks ask if I’m still giving my library talk this Saturday. Yes, I am! This will be the first “back to work!” moment for me since I lost Dad, and I’m really looking forward to giving the talk and focusing on the comic and fun ghost stories for a bit. It will be at the Snohomish library in Snohomish, WA this Saturday November 9th at 4pm. If you can make it, I’d love to see you there!

   I must confess: Doombas is the name Shena (former editor/amazing agent/dear friend!) suggested for the Roombas back in August when I was looking into using the word Roomba! I assured them I would at least have Beatrix say it—imagine my surprise when it began to take off in the comments! FATE!!! Lol!!

   Surprise!!! I wrote ahead last month and ALL OF THE OCTOBER SUNDAYS will be an ongoing part of the Halloween special!! I needed the space for more cinematic artwork! This month every single day counts toward the storyline!

   I’m the only person who writes, draws, inks, paints/colors, letters, scans, adds digital touches (like the stars and occasional glows), and uploads these comics, flexes arms like a wrestler, lol!! Susanna is correct, we’re looking at the back of Ora Zella’s little tortie head in that panel.

    Hello, everyone! If you’re local to Washington state and missed a chance to attend my recent ghost talk in person, you’re in luck! I’m giving it at the Snohomish library in Snohomish, WA on November 9th at 4pm. You can find more info at the Snohomish public library’s website, through our Patreon, or on the BCN FB and Instagram pages!

    An added bonus to this particular ghost talk is Snohomish is famously one of the most haunted towns in Washington state and you better believe I know a bunch of the lore. The Boy and his friends sometimes walk Main Street with his EMF meter, politely checking shop walls, doors, and mirrors for ghosts, in that way that if you just gave them each a bicycle they’re ready to save the town from a big spooky scary!

    It’s also a fabulous little town with a fantastic coffee shop (shoutouts to Looking Glass coffee!), an amazing vintage store (shoutouts to Wonderland Vintage! …The Alice in Wonderland name are just coincidence, but how lovely, right?) and SO many antiques shops! Great lunch spots, too! I’m particularly a fan of Jake’s Diner …That may have been the diner I mentioned missing in the 2020 Christmas special. There is no rainbow painted on the walls inside, that was something I created for the plot. However, it’s ADORABLE inside with a real midcentury diner feel and some of the best folks you could hope to pass breakfast or lunchtime with. Snohomish is a great place to lose a day in the Pacific Northwest and well worth the drive!

    I hope to see you there!
