8:20PM, still awake. Attempting to wind down with some of the wife's “pregnancy tea” (it's fine, it's just raspberry and spearmint and other herbal notes). Immersing myself hard in the comix zone. When I'm not drawing pages, I'm either reading comix or reading about comix.

These I printed and assembled from TCJ.com, an immense resource. It's an old habit I picked up way back in my teens, when the only quality reading material on comix-making could only be found online. It was very hard to get books then, at least for me anyway. And even with the abundance of books available today, I think the really good shit is really just the modest crumbs sprinkled throughout the crevices of the internet.

Regarding the reading material pictured above, it may be awfully historic, but there's still lots to draw from even in the wildly different landscape of today.
