This is so dope
it's giving Jake Busey
Such a great cover!
Yeah, Canada was unquestionably the better team 5 on 5, but they squandered some golden opportunities, Hellebuyk was phenomenal, and once you send it to 3 on 3 the outcome is a coin flip.
I'm surprised by how little that result bothered me. Once I saw that it was going to 3 on 3, I kinda checked out. Ending any consequential game with 3 on 3 is bonkers. Not quite as bad as a shootout, but close.
(I love that I thought that I'd never be able to find this image, but I just searched my hard drive for "Quitely girl" and it popped right up. Filename: Quitely_gal.jpg) 😂
She's the most Quitely looking person since whatever this pizza commercial was I saw and had to screencap 12 years ago:
Ha! That's pretty fun. I have a terrible visual memory so I was pretty happy with my first effort of 43.65
My last name is pronounced *exactly* as it's spelled and I am constantly befuddled when people get it wrong.
If you happen to be here in Vancouver and have a little one who is a fan of the series, Kidsbooks on Broadway will be hosting a book launch event with Michele and me to celebrate the release. Please join us! ☺️

As a huge fan of the CBC and supporter of public radio, I was thrilled to sit down yesterday with On The Coast to talk about The Trouble With Leo, the fifth book in the PAWS series, which will be in stores in two weeks!

haha that is so awesome
Aw, cheers, man! That's so nice to hear. As much as I've enjoyed my pivot to making comics for kids, it's very removed from what I did before, and I sometimes worry that my friends and peers think I just retired or something. 😅
Thanks, man! I don't even really do much color work anymore but I'll always make time for Scotty. He's my favourite idiot. 😄
This Valentine's Day, press start on romance 💘
Go on a date (or double date 👀) across time-warped Toronto! Scott Pilgrim EX's demo is live NOW on Steam!🌀 #ScottPilgrimEX

I had an absolute blast coloring the mini-comic for the new Scott Pilgrim game from @tributegames.com.
If you like Scott Pilgrim and you like video games, then do yourself a favor and go check it out!
haha, I absolutely love this kid but that is not how you make a fist
And (not to toot my own horn) I got to do some background assists! It's a fun one. Very happy to have played a small role in Supes/Spidey!
I am utterly delighted to share that @mattfraction.bsky.social @stevelieberart.bsky.social @claytoncowles.bsky.social and I briefly got the Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen band back together to do a back-up story in Superman/Spider-Man #1. In stores March 25!
Definitely dodged a bullet. I regret the time I spent watching that. 😂
Every single one of these creeps is illiterate. I don't think I've come across a single complete sentence in any of these emails.
And of course a huge thanks to newcomer Rafael Pérez, who knocked it out of the park. I was initially only planning to write this story, but once Rafa's pages started to come in I realized I wanted to color it, too! Such a strong DC debut. Can't wait to see what's next from him!
