sketchbook: the crooked man

Another reminder that I will be at Flamecon in NYC on 8/17 and 8/18, table D41, and I will have copies of Watson's Sketchbook vol 1 for sale (I'll put it up for sale online after the con, probably early September) as well as copies of all my graphic novels and my minicomic HOW THE BEST HUNTER IN THE VILLAGE MET HER DEATH. I’m also on some panels:

Saturday:

1pm, Room E, Intrinsically Queer: The Gay in the Everyday

5:15, Room A, ND Stevenson and Molly Knox Ostertag In Conversation

Sunday:

1pm, Room B, YAS Kids: Celebrating Queer & Diverse Middle Grade/YA Stories

For Watson’s Sketchbook, a bunch of comics for THE CROOKED MAN. The most inscrutable man in the world tries to be understood, Mary has a date, and Watson waxes rhapsodic about a mongoose.

the only video game I’ve ever finished is Disco Elysium and I loved the thought cabinet concept - an individual having different parts of their personality speak in different voices - attempting to play with that here.

in one of Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous inconsistencies, Watson’s wife refers to him as “James” in a story. everyone has their own theory to explain it; this is mine.
