I SAW YOU: Missed Connections Comics is released today by Random House and I'm in it!
I still haven't seen a copy (Hello Random House? A little help here?), but included in this nearly 200-page collection of comics inspired by missed connection ads is "Love, Rod" a four-page comic that I wrote and Megan Baehr drew.

The book can be purchased here or ordered through your local bookstore. It also includes comics by J... Continue reading ...
