Evil Tees
Helen's T-shirt, fabled in song and story, is now available exclusively through The ComicSpace Store. $19.99 each.
Gerbils
Soft-sculpture artist Elaine Moertl, who also makes the Sluggy Freelance Bun-Bun and Kiki dolls, has designed these eerily accurate stuffed gerbils. Each cuddly, hand-stitched rodent is about six inches high and has a long bendable tail. I can say with near-complete certainty that you will not find a better plush gerbil anywhere on earth.
The price is $12.00.

Books and Minicomics
The entire run of Narbonic is now available in print!
The first Narbonic print collection, covering the daily strips from the beginning to Dave's funeral. Also included: an introduction by Modern Tales publisher Joey Manley, a ten-page bonus story written and drawn by me and inked by Andrew Farago, and bonus pinups. Also, I sign each copy whether you like it or not. $13.00.
This volume includes Dave's death and undeath, the gender swap, D-Con, and the Island of the Ur-Gerbils. All this, plus an introduction by Dave Barker, a never-before-seen bonus story drawn by Chris Shadoian (Streets of Northampton, Popcorn Picnic), and snazzy pinups. Also, I sign each copy. An essential addition to the well-stocked Narbonic library. $13.00, baby.
This volume includes the end of the Island of the Ur-Gerbils, the teleporter accident, Helen's class reunion, and the longest Narbonic storyline ever, the epic eight-month "Professor Madblood and the Doppelganger Gambit." Also: an exclusive bonus story drawn by Girl Genius co-creator Phil Foglio and an introduction written by other Girl Genius co-creator Kaja Foglio. As always, I sign each copy. $13.00.
The fourth volume of the Narbonic print collection, covering everything from "Dave Davenport Has Come Unstuck in Time" to "Mad Science Is Decadent and Depraved." Time travel! Demon attacks! Road trips! Plus an introduction by Eric Burns of Websnark and a bonus story, "The Facts of Life," drawn by Irony Chan, creator of Get Medieval. And, yes, I sign each copy. $13.00.
The fifth volume of Narbonic, covering everything from "Professor Madblood and the Lovelace Affair" to "H Is H." This is the volume with all the romance, revelations, and palatable male nudity. Also features an introduction by indie comics great Tom Hart and a bonus story, "The Time She Made Him a Sandwich!", written by Jeffrey C. Wells and drawn by me. Naturally, I sign each copy. $14.00.
New!
Finally! The sixth and final volume of Narbonic, covering the last year of the strip. You've got to see how it ends, right? Includes an introduction by superstar comic-book writer Gail Simone (Action Comics, Wonder Woman, Killer Princesses) and a bonus story, "Time Travel Girl," written by me and drawn by Andrew Farago. And of course I sign each copy. $14.00.
Bonus: Order all six books together, and I'll do a little sketch in each copy in addition to signing them.
Skin Horse Minicomic
The first Skin Horse storyline, "Cowardly Lion," collected in the popular and convenient new paper format. Remember when there were death robots and stuff? Boy, we laughed. Winner of the 2008 Stumptown Trophy Award for Best Small Press! $3.00 each.
Original Art
Original daily Narbonic strips are available for $50.00 each. Prices for Sunday strips vary depending on the strip. If you're interested in buying original Narbonic art, email me at narbonic@sbcglobal.net to let me know which strip you want.
Will owning original Narbonic art bring happiness and meaning to your life? Yes! Narbonic art owner Mike Groman offers this testimonial:
"Not a day goes by that I don't sit in rapt bedazzlement gazing at
my original Narbonic strips. Since these exquisite pieces of art have
entered my life, my programming has become more diabolical, my social
life has deliquesced, and my cats have acquired weapons of mass
destruction. What more could one ask for from art?"
I also do commissioned drawings; prices vary, but generally start at around $35.00. For samples of my commission work, check out my gallery.
