Here’s a sample panel of a one page comic I submitted to the Always Comix “Activity” issue. I sent it in at the very last minute and haven’t heard back, so I’m not sure if I made it in; if I didn’t, I’ll post the whole thing later. If you’d like to see the whole thing, you can buy it from the Always Comix folk at SPX, or right after that at the Philly Zine Fest. I won’t be at SPX (sad!), but I will be at the Philly Zine Fest. I will also have a table at the Winchester Pickle Festival September 27, so you should come check that out; just be careful not to get pickle juice on the comics.

Here is the first of four pages I contributed to Trees & Hills‘ forthcoming food-themed anthology, Seeds.

Later I shout less, there is a big fire, and we learn a little about the wonders of industrial agriculture. Seeds debuts September 20 at the Boston Zine Fair, and is not only full of cool comics, but also comes with a recipe booklet and actual organic vegetable seeds for planting!

Hey, kids! It’s time for more…

Vermont Yankee is an aging nuclear power plant in Vernon, VT, less than 10 miles from my home. It’s current (out-of-state) parent company, Entergy, secured approval to run the plant at 120% its original rated capacity, and is trying to extend its license 20 years past the original planned shutdown in 2012. Hopefully the numerous blatant maintenance failures they’ve experienced in the last couple years will help us prevent that. Just a couple weeks ago, the plant cut back to 25% capacity because the cooling towers sprang some leaks (yes, even the repaired one that’s supposed to be totally fine after fresh inspections).

On August 6 through 9, Citizens Awareness Network will have a Walk For A Nuclear-Free Future through Vermont in honor of Hiroshima Day and Nagasaki Day.

(EDIT 8/3: Several other groups are co-sponsoring the walk. Also, CAN is now going to use this comic and the text under it on a flyer to be given away during the walk. Cool!)

As if I don’t have enough to do, I have decided I would like to do some Comics By Request - leave a comment with your comics request (subject, phrase, constraint, etc.), and I’ll draw the darn thing. For now I’m going to say that I’ll draw the first 10 requests I get, but I might change my mind and do more - I’d like to do this as a recurring thing. So…request away!

If you’ve ever wondered what it would have been like to be me when I went to the Boston Zine Fair last year, well, here’s a taste:

Here is the first page of my contribution to Swingin’ Hits:

 How does the rest of Keith’s recording process go? I guess you’ll have to buy the comic to find out - luckily it comes with lots of other good comics, and a CD to boot!
