OMG. IT'S A COMIC BOOK!

So, I know these two girls, and they are great friends of mine. On top of that, they have this really cool dad. I've known this dude for a very long time (ok, a few years), often invading his living room with friends to watch movies or to check out his awesome Halloween set up (emphasis on awesome). I knew he wrote stuff, but I never really knew what.

Then, a few years ago, he won this fancy award ( Eisner Award for Best Digital Comic ). I was quite impressed, so I went and read the comic, and was in awe at how good it was.

This past weekend I went to visit one of his daughters with a friend of mine at her archeological dig (which was a lot of fun). One thing she brought up, was that her father had a new book. I was ecstatic, and even more so when I found out herself and a few others I know did some of the coloring for the book. So I rushed home the next morning (OK, rushed is a bit much, we were sad to leave and it was an ~200 mile drive) and went into the Borders in Los Gatos, CA. They were sold out! I was quite sad. That night I drove back to SLO, because I had work today.

This morning I woke up and went to work. As noon rolled around, I said "I'm going to lunch" and then ran half-a-mile home, got in my car, and drove downtown. Guess what? THEY HAD THE BOOK! Prominently displayed no less.

So I bought the book, and then went next door and ordered lunch. I got through the first chapter during lunch and had to summon so much will power to go back to work instead of continue reading this fantastic book it was disturbing.

Anyway, here I am, back at work, and I figured I would post a little "book sighting" for my friends the Fies. I haven't finished the book yet Brian, but it's awesome so far!
