Activities this week

For residents of Vaasa, come on down to the university this friday. I will have an hour to show and tell about my comix, my music and my art.
If you read swedish, download the program for the whole Hamsun-festival.

Apart from that, my tenure at Dagbladet´s guest strip spot is over this week. In the future will continue in the future, but for now I think it´s only healthy to go on a hiatus . Daily strips are great fun, seeing the short distance from idea to finished piece, but that´s the thing with instant gratification: It can be exhausting too.

I would also like to ask finnish readers to keep an eye out for this week´s NYT-liite and go here to check out what Kirkko ja Kaupunki says about Boktid.

Bush to Obama

Dubya's reaction was this:
'Congratulations and go enjoy yourself'
