If you're going to be at Comic-Con, or if you live in Las Vegas, we have some prep-work to do. Yes, "we." 1) If you would like to purchase an original Schlock Mercenary strip, you need to email me and tell me which one. The prices remain the same as last year -- $40 for a daily, $80 for a Sunday, and $100 for a 4-row Sunday. I'll bring the strip with me to Comic-Con, and we can settle up there. 2) If you live in Las Vegas and would like to get together, I will be driving into town and staying the night on Monday the 23rd. Email , and you can discuss this with a mailing list of like-minded fans. That's it for now. I need to get back to work. This bonus story isn't coloring itself (and my daughter is staying with cousins in Idaho, so she's not coloring it either.)
