First Issue Feline

I seem to have a new comic book coming out any day now. I'm not sure precisely when but I received my copies today so yours can't be far off. It's the first issue of the new Garfield comic book from Boom Studios, written by me and drawn by Gary Barker. Gary is only the best possible choice as he's been working with Jim Davis on the newspaper strip for many years now and he's real, real good. So we were lucky to get him on board to draw it..and of course, I've been writing the Garfield cartoon shows since around the time Cro-Magnon Man invented lasagna so I know my way around a litter box. (We're about to start production on Season 4 of The Garfield Show and yes, I know Season 3 has not aired yet in America and I don't know when that will happen but we're starting on Season 4 anyway.)

Not much to say about the comic book other than that I'm happy with how the first one came out and the reason I'm up at this hour is that I'm finishing the scripts for #3. It's a monthly and we expect to be doing it for a while. It's about time Jim's portly pussycat had his own comic and about time I got back into writing comics…which apart from whatever I do on Groo is not something I've been doing a lot lately. This one was fun to do and I hope it shows.
