Before I trek into the 400s and continue on with the Imy & Zoe storyline, I am scrambling to finish book Vol. 3.0 in time for NYCC. I am so close. The end of the tunnel is right OVER THERE! I should really be able to finish it this evening and then send it off to the printers tomorrow. My stress level is at HIGH, and that plus lack of sleep are making me a smidge crazy.

My friend, savior, and one of my favorite people, Tom Racine of the wonderful Tall Tale Radio podcast, stepped in and drew me a brilliant guest comic even through I protested. “It’s OK! You don’t have to do this! I can handle it!” she cried out, before she saw a picture of a sad puppy and burst into stress-induced-breakdown tears.

So THANK YOU, TOM, for giving my readers something fun to look at while I out the finishing touches on this book toady and try not to fall to pieces while doing it. And you guys can thank him in the comments, OR by going and helping him reach his fundraiser goal over HERE (he’s so close!).

Oh, and, to my non-Americans readers: Tom’s joke is American-football themed. And fantasy-football themed on top of that. I’m too tired to explain. If you’re curious, read all about Fantasy Football here. 🙂
