by end of the month, i mean sept lol. BUT STILL. something to look forward to!

New comic! The Climb

Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands, is finally out this month. My expectations were sky high, and yet they were surpassed -- it's up there with the best graphic memoirs I've encountered. I'm really pleased the The Globe and Mail is publishing a preview: theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…
