Bone again

Next year, Jeff Smith will be returning to Boneville!

Tall Tales, pictured above, is a major repackaging of a book I did with Tom Snigoski a few years ago called Stupid, Stupid Rat-Tails. This new book, which takes place after the Bones have returned to Boneville, revolves around Smiley and Bartleby telling tales around a campfire to a group of young Bone Scouts (their names are Ringo, Bingo, & Todd!).

Tom Snigoski will also be writing a trilogy of novels entitled "Bone: Quest for the Spark." Jeff Smith will be providing the illustrations.

So...did this landmark post live up to your expectations, Christian Bale and Kermit?
Glad you found Lout Shelter's 500th post so satisfactory!

Mark Chiarello

This post has been saved as a draft for more than a year. I started it but never published it because, at the time, Mark Chiarello didn't have a website. He does now though!

This is Lout Shelter's 499th post...

Ana Galvañ

Due to her participation in the Full of Pryde fundraiser for Oregon Hemophilia Treatment Center, I came across Ana Galvañ's work. Her concepts are fun and her muted palettes are great.

Check out her blog here- it'll make you wish you were fluent in Spanish. I'd love to be able to read her Manet homage comic.

Andrew Robinson's return

After a hiatus from comics, Andrew Robinson is back! He made a splash in the late 90s as the cover artist for Starman and Hawkman (funny story- it took me a while to figure out that the "Robinson" signature on Starman comics didn't belong to the writer James Robinson). He's now providing covers for a whole slew of DC books.

Check out his interview with CBR.

His Next Exit blog is here.
