A Long Weekend
Over the weekend I lost all of my Ganges 4 notes, which I had been scribbling in this small booklet over the course of many months. It suddenly was nowhere to be found, and just as I'm finally ready to begin drawing it. I got very upset and very sad, then philosophical about it, then upset again, unable to sleep, etc. Turns out it had slid in-between some DVDs and had travelled with them into library’s return slot (Bruno, Terminator: Salvation, In the Company of Wolves, a documentary on Ray Bradbury – all un-watched except Terminator (!)). So now it's back, and I'm grateful.
Wild Kingdom Deleted Scene
Here is one of the DELETED SCENES from our new book of old comics, The Wild Kingdom. Because of some recent new fossil discoveries the accuracy of this chronicle was uncertified and called into question. After many meetings our scientific advisory board decided to leave it on the cutting room floor. The book contains only strictly accurate and up-to-date scientific information.

The Wild Kingdom Cover
Please note, this is the actual cover of my new book:
I know, they're pretty similar, but if you look closely, you can tell that the first version is more pleasant and more scientifically accurate. Also the first one is what the book looks like. The second version is incorrect and should be discarded. What must have happened is, because one file was created as a .gif and the other a .jpg., the different algorithms must have introduced statistical errors into the data. It's an easy mistake to make. If you're using Netscape on your T-Mobile everything should appear correctly.

New "Books"
Speaking of new books, a few weeks back, This American Life re-ran #203 "Recordings for Someone." One of the segments tell the story of the famous "Little Mermaid" phone message. You can sort of read about that over here. Anyhow, in that episode of TAL you can also hear the source of the sample "I can't find the books, they must be in La Jolla," which appears in a song by The Books, on their album "Lost and Safe" (one of my favorite records of the '00s). The Books' new record, The Way Out comes out July 20. Watch a new panic-attack-inducing video here.
Also, check out Conrad Bakker's awesome Book Club project here (pdf). (Mr. Bakker was one of my art professors back in college. Conrad and I also both have done covers for the poet/comedian Aaron Belz, who also incidentally has a new book out, a real book. See him read if you get a chance.)

''These people out in suburbia are easy targets for humor,'' Mr. Lorenz said, ''but Chuck saw beyond that to the bitter side of it: people too cautious to take advantage of the very opportunities that their privileged position offered them.''
''I think it's important to say he was sardonic even to the end,'' Mr. Packard said of Mr. Saxon. ''At home, when he had his heart seizure, in the process of falling down he knocked down a lamp. He seemed to be pretty sure he was dying, and when the medical technicians were taking him out on a stretcher, he said, 'I guess I'd better die; I just broke our best lamp.' ''
