Last Saturday, I participated in a B.S. of Comics comic jam! Here is page two of my contribution:

The format is essentially that each person gets four pages to tell a story. It’s only part of the larger story in that it must have one of the characters from the previous comic in it. And you can use any of your own characters in your work. Also, it’s good to respect the branding of your fellow cartoonists characters.
It was a whole hell of a lot of fun, and it felt good to get some concrete comicking done during my extended deep hiatus. Clearly, even though I’m still feeling burnt out I’ve still got what few skills I already had. I’m not rusting. (I’d complain about my lack of patience, but dude, this was a Jam, we were somewhat required to rush it)
For now, if you want to see the rest of the comic pages, you’ll have to wait for the book. If you can make it to the B.S. tonight at 5pm at the Black Drop Coffee House, you’ll get to see the prototypes!
Also, if you want to participate (which I highly recommend), we’ll almost certainly be doing this again! And definitely, as with nearly everything totally sweet, the more the merrier.
