I've been told that "Woe" is my theme song, by some that know me well. If you want to listen to some of their earlier stuff I've got a copy of their first independent LP called "Baseball" (they encourage online trading of their material that can't be bought in stores, such as this, so seriously just lemme know). I just can't get over how cool it is to see two of my favorite media and creators together! Jeff –

Max Bemis, the band's singer/songwriter told me he has been reading Bone for years, and wanted me to draw it. I listened to the first album,"...is a Real Boy" and liked it, so I said yeah, let's make it. Sony called one day and asked if I would be interested in doing the cover.

"You got Say Anything on my Jeff Smith." "No, you got Jeff Smith on my Say Anything!" They're first studio album "...Is a Real Boy" is incredible, the best record I've heard in at least a decade, and I hope this one holds up as well. P.S. I've already got my "In Defense of the Genre" tshirt complete with fat baby in diaper holding a sword! How did you guys end up doing this though???

Great art by the way it's super cool! On another note I just bought my first vol of Fight I decided to get the 4th vol cause it was the fastest lol. It was so great my favorite story was the "Forever Box". I read through the entire vol over two days. Now I have to get more! I did read your piece in the 2nd? vol and it was really good, it reminded me a bit of The Little Prince. So I was wondering if you plan on submitting work to Flight again? I would love to see more or your work in the books. Cool I’ll have to remember to check that out. Great art by the way it’s super cool!
