Ow! Also, hi Seattle.

A tale of woe: my drawing arm is currently out of commission with a very nasty flare-up of tendinitis. It’s an old, chronic (and very painful) problem of mine, and the only real cure is to avoid using the dang limb until it finally stops hurting. So I’m taking the week off to try and […]
First, the bad news: my arm is still a bit messed up. I’m taking one more week to heal up; half measures are no good with tendinitis, and I don’t want to push myself and wind up spending the whole month up to my shoulder in ice packs. I’m very frustrated with this state of […]
(permalink to this week’s page) And I am back! My poor cranky arm is very grateful for the time off. Thanks for your patience, all. With some continued gentle treatment it should be back to 100% before long. Preparations begin for the Stumptown Comics Fest here in Portland! Hometown shows are the best, and it […]
(permalink to this week’s page) I realize the plot’s pretty thick already, but I’m just throwin’ some more cornstarch in there. News! We’re closing in on the Stumptown Comics Fest at the Oregon Convention Center here in Portland, where I’ll be exhibiting and appearing on two panels. On the Thursday night before the Fest (4/26), […]
(permanent link to this week’s page) The ancient Romans didn’t really have a tidy word for “2.5” so they usually said “sestertius” (“half three”) because 2.5 is exactly halfway between the numerals two and three. A bit of a funny way to go about it, but that’s where we get the word sestercentennial which means […]
Moms! Always telling you to leave your jaeger rifle at home. This week’s news is that dylanmeconis.com has gotten a total overhaul! Tons of art that my readers haven’t seen, all of my short comics from the last several years, general niceness, the blog in a place where humans can find it, etc. If you’re […]
(Permalink to this week’s page) Family dynamics! There is nothing more fascinating for me to draw. Although refracted moonlight on water is a bit of a mind-bender, too. On an unrelated note, I’m looking for examples of really atrocious comics criticism. Book reviews  that are completely unhelpful, ignorant, condescending, or just plain confused about what […]
(permalink to this week’s page) Mother knows best. Or does she? Â Maybe next week you’ll find out what that leather neck strap is for, at least… This weekend I’ll be in beautiful British Columbia, at the first ever Vancouver Comic Arts Festival! You can’t miss me – I’ll be right by the entrance at Table […]
…nyeah, I’m just gonna mess with y’all a bit longer on the neck-strap thing, although you’ve totally gotten some clues. And, for the concerned, I do promise: no loose threads when the story is over. Everything has a point! I had a lovely time at VanCAF last week! If you live in the Pacific Northwest […]
Moon and stars and snow and wolves! And that dang gun. Next week: what have the ladies have been up to? This work week finds me busy at work on a project that will be launching next Wednesday. I hate those “OOH SECRET PROJECT I CAN’T TELL YOU ABOUT” posts that everybody falls victim to posting […]
