On Monday Nov. 7, Ryan North and I will be speaking at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario as part of their Creator Series of talks for students and the general public. We’ll be talking about online comics as well as print comics like Flight, answering your questions and all sorts of other fun things. It’s open to the public, so if you’re in the Hamilton area, we would love it if you came. I hear there will be high fives given out in abundance, so it will be an entertaining evening for sure! Full details over on qwantz.com.

The Flight 3 cover image has made a sneaky cameo on Jeff Rowland’s Wigu.

Flight also made a brief appearance on TV courtesy of the nice folks at the Drawn! blog. While discussing the work of Matthew Forsythe and Hope Larson on G4TV’s Attack of the Show, the Flight book lurked suspiciously on a table.

Tomorrow night (Saturday), Nucleus will be celebrating its one year anniversary with The Monster Show. Flight artists Amy Kim Ganter, Clio Chiang, Catia Chien, Michel Gagne, Chris Appelhans, and I will be featured in the show, along with a whole host of talented folks. The event begins at 7pm and goes till closing. A bunch of us will be there hanging out, so be sure to drop by and say hello! Oh, and if you wear a costume, they’ll give you a 10 percent discount on stuff…

Rodolphe Guenoden has just posted a website featuring his incredible work. Not only is he one of the humblest and friendliest artists I’ve ever met, he can draw circles around just about anybody. Go enjoy his work, and I’m happy that people can now stumble onto it via the internets…

There are two great new books which collect material that has served as a life-long inspiration to many of the Flight artists, and should be of interest to anyone who enjoys comics at all. Little Nemo in Slumberland, from Sunday Press Books, presents Windsor McCay’s inimitable fantasies in their original newspaper-size format for the first time in a hundred years, and The Complete Calvin & Hobbes finally assembles Bill Watterson’s magnum opus in a definitive three-volume set. (We hear you can get a pretty good deal on it at CostCo!)

The fourth chapter of Amy Kim Ganter’s Sorcerers & Secretaries can be read online here. Be sure to pick up a copy in February 2006!

A new addition to the Flight lineup, Man Arenas now has a blog documenting the sketches of Yacin the Faun. Some amazing stuff…

Kean Soo’s Jellaby is being updated again at the Secret Friend Society website.

Enrico Casarosa posted a very charming journal comic about his trip from Genoa to Sardegna in Italy.
