Old, tired but grateful cartoonist talks about his new book in a free video post on his Patreon. There's an announcement at the end. Also, Winky the Pirate Cat attempts to sabotage the video at least three times.

Thank you very much for your support. #NerdInferno www.patreon.com/posts/157025...

NERD INFERNO is out April 28th from @darkhorse.com.

Every day until then I will post something from the 648-page omnibus collection. Today is the strip featuring the Broken Robot from DORK. Which issue is it from? Doesn't matter, if you buy Nerd Inferno you'll have it. #NerdInferno #ItsAComicBook

A silent four panel comic called Broken Robot. In the first panel is the title. Second panel shows a little Broken Robot holding a tin can and he has a sign that reads "Broken Robot Plees Help". Someone is giving him some coins. In the third panel he is walking down the street and shaking the tin cup which is full of money. Finally, in the last panel we see him at the end of a pier where he dumps all the money into the ocean. Because he's a broken robot. The End.

Posting something from the 648-page omnibus every day until then. Unless I screw it up and miss a day. Or eight.

Today: You know it. You love/hate it. It's in the book. Once again..."Gotta Have My Batman".

#NerdInferno #ItsAComicBook

A four panel comic called Gotta Have My Batman. First panel is the title. Second shows two fanboys discussing the new issue of Batman, which will have an artist/writer they hate. But they'll buy it anyway, because as one sayd, Gotta Have My batman. Third panel, a new issue of Batman comes with a kick in the balls from comic shop retailers. Still, he says, Gotta have My Batman. Finally, a new issue will come with anthrax. I think you know where this is going.
