Daily-ish posts from (usually) Bram and (sometimes) Monica about comics in general, this comic in particular, art, design, publishing, visual culture, and far, far too many things about actual squirrels.

An article in the NYT on an exhibit on the glory days of automobile design at Louisville Visual Art Association. Be sure to check the slide show. The computer has given us many wonderful technological advances, but it's pretty much killed the art of car design.

A moment to welcome new visitors. This is the site for Raised By Squirrels, a serialized we comic produce, admittedly, more than just somewhat infrequently. You can read the entire story to date, including guest artist installments, by downloading the PDFs to the left (starting at the bottom), checking out the Raised By Squirrels ComicSpace page, or by purchasing the trade paperbacks over at the top left.RBS is released under the Panel Press imprint, where we've got a few other projects — including the just-completed Death, Cold As Steel miniseries, which takes place in the same world (but in an earlier age) as RBS, but stands on its own as a complete story. A preview of that is available at the Panel Press ComicSpace page.
