Page 50

Today is full of landmark news. Not only is it the 50th page of Timothy Green, but TG has been online for 3 years last Sunday. Not to mention that the 50th page marks the end of the first part of the comic. (Would you call it a chapter? Segment? Volume? Issue?)

Unfortunately, I didn't have much opportunity to celebrate Tim's 3rd anniversary this Sunday. I was at the Alternative Press Expo! It was loads of fun! The only regret I have is not picking up my phone when my tablemate and friend called to say that someone wanted a drawing of Timothy Green. To whomever it was that stopped by: I'm so sorry I didn't get the chance! I was pretty much glued to my table after that point, just on the off chance that you and your son would return to the table!

Highlights of the weekend would include meeting fine folk like Spike, Meredith Gran, Kate Beaton, Evan Dahm, Aaron Diaz, Erika Moen, Dylan Meconis, Michael May, Kevin Burkhalter, Jarrett Williams, and tons of others.
And hey, for my first time exhibiting anywhere, I didn't do half bad. If I'm not transferring to SCAD or SVU by then, I will definitely be at APE next year! (If you want to catch me at other conventions, I'm going to be at Wondercon this coming April 2-4, and Fanime Con at the end of May. Sorry to anyone on the East Coast: I just don't have the funds for any cons over there.)

Now, to the end of the first chapter. Don't worry, there will be more of Timothy Green! The idea is to have a chapter for three different phases in Tim's life: childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. We've just wrapped up “childhood”, so onto adolescence we go! And trust me, it is a wild and zany ride. (At least, I like to think it is.)

I hope you've all enjoyed the comic so far!
