The first six book orders are in the mail and I've e-mailed tracking numbers to the recipients. I'll be working on signing, sketching and packing up the next batch of orders to get those out asap.
Thanks to everyone who ordered books. Almost everything sold, I appreciate it very much.
Pictured above: Dark Horse/Beasts of Burden editor Daniel Chabon's beloved Shiba, Zell. I used to ask Daniel to send me Zell whenever I e-mailed him, and he would say no for some reason, and then he'd say we should do a story with a Shiba. Which wasn't exactly twisting my arm, because I love Shibas. Anyway, this was the genesis of how Beasts of Burden: Occupied Territory happened. It was supposed to be a one-shot but the story couldn't fit a single issue. Zell has a cameo in the book, as part of a group of Wise Dogs/Guardian Dogs in the Pacific Northwest.
