Jack & Max Escape from the End of Time


Colleague Mike Dawson has been totally working a lot since the release of his critically acclaimed memoir Freddie & Me. He's also got another book coming out this month: Ace-Face: The Mod with the Metal Arms. Freddie & Me was one of the better comics I've read in a while, and Ace-Face looks like great fun, also. Ted at Gecko Books will order it for you if you ask nice.

The point I meant to make is this: Mike is also writing and drawing a serial web-comic called Jack & Max Escape from the End of Time that I think a lot of us would find highly enjoyable and quite accessible to our particular sensibilities. It's a sweet mix of contradictions--both mysterious and funny; the art manages to be at once goofy and bold, and the story hops between the deadly serious and the unapologetically nerdy and infantile. And it starts HERE.

I love Mike's comics!

Thanks for everyone's nice thoughts on Ellie too, though I'm glad that the next P.O.T. post has finally happened.

It was bound to. Glad you could share with us, dude.

Ruby, if you ever need to convalesce in Hawaii for some reason, I'm personally offering up 3 separate places for you on the island.

You can either stay with a fish, a pony, a video game, or a ninja.



Choose wisely.

So do we know this person? That Jack and Max comic ruled.

Hey! That was four!

Ruby and I have worked with Mike Dawson at various points in our careers. Recent work here, here, and here. I expect we're all going to have some explaining to do about that last one.
