You know, I wasn’t going to do the phonetic accent, for the new boy, but it just fits with the comics of the period in which this is set.

Meant to do this the other day, but better late than never.

Had a lot of fun hanging out with my friend Jeff last week, but it put me behind on the strip a bit. Here’s a pic of Jeff and my lovely wife, Tammy, who arranged all this.

Better late than never.

My beast friend Jeff is in town for a few days, we’re hanging out, catching up, probably going to see Cabin in the Woods, and talking about comics and such. My wife, Tammy surprised me by flying him down for a surprise visit. Sadly, she doesn’t read Ad Astra, so I’ll have to tell her how much I love her elsewhere, but there might be a slight hiccup in the production this week as a result.

Thanks for being patient.

Does The Avengers look like it’s going to be the awesomest movie ever, or what?

So, with a winter barely worth the name and a very early spring, around these parts came a hellish allergy season. Pollen counts far in excess of the norm and boy did they find a place to settle…in my freaking sinuses. My cheekbones ached, I had strange pressures and pains in my skull and my scalp is still hyper-sensitive, sometimes. It’s finally subsiding, but it made is really difficult for me to sit and get any work done. Thanks for sticking with me, one more flashback scene before returning to the Valiants storyline.
