It’s all done.
The book is complete, and it shall be going up for sale in the next day or two.
It’s really a trippy experience seeing my work in a book. I mean, I’ve seen things that I’ve done in print before, but this is an entirely new beast.
I love it.
I love flipping through the cartoons (which look AMAZING on the printed page, despite my poor image prep in the early days), reading my comments in my own handwriting throughout the book, weighing the book in my hands and savoring that lovely visceral thrill of actually touching and holding the art that I’m consuming, instead of just staring at a screen representation. Print is a beautiful thing, let me tell you. I’m not so much of a web head that I don’t understand how powerful and wonderful books are; as much as I love webcomics, reading the same comics in print is ten times as satisfying. I can’t fully explain it, but our human need for tactile interaction with books will make sure that screens don’t ever fully replace them.
