Food of the gods
My good friend Jennifer Oliver sent me a package of Clark bars this week. Jennifer is the person who turned me on to the conspiracy-drenched world of Nikola Tesla, and for that has the RASL trade collection dedicated to her. The other day, while I was inking issue #9 of RASL, I was chatting with Jen on the phone, and she asked me why the spooky little girl eats a Clark bar at the end of issue 8 (as opposed to a Snickers or another brand of candy bar). Truth is, I like Clark bars, and you can’t really find them around Columbus that much anymore.
Well, Jen found a place on the internet that ships them, and here they are! My teeth hurt just looking at them.
Is it just me, or do Rasl’s legs look a little short in the above drawing? I’ll have to fix that before the next collection.
Anyway, RASL #9 is in the can, and as of this writing will be on comic book store shelves Nov. 23.
We’ll put up some preview pages when the date gets a little closer.
Meanwhile, here’s one of the new panels from #9:
Mmmm I love clark bars….if we didn’t have a big pile of Halloween candy (whoot for 50% off sales the day after) I would go and buy one right now….

Wow, those got there pretty fast. Now save some for the next deadline!
The leg looks maybe a little short, or perhaps it’s the foot that looks particularly small…but I don’t think that I would have noticed if you hadn’t pointed it out. I can hardly wait for the next issue; from what I know of it so far it’s gonna be AMAZING!

Woo! RASL #9!
Clark Bars? Never tried one, but I should…
And:
Issue 8?
One of THE biggest “What the eff” moments I’ve ever experienced in comics.
And the other thing:
With Rob’s legs, they seem kind of odd in proportion to the rest of him (I almost seem looking like little Gohan from Dragon Ball Z in that panel).
And what else…
That panel is intense.
Holy mother of dragons I can’t wait for this issue. And when it gets to the double digits finally, ohhhh man.
By the way this is coming out Tuesday? I don’t think that’s happened since like Issue 2! Good job!
