Today’s comic is the raw scan of the absolute first Stamp of Adventure. I’m sure you’re wondering what the heck is going on there. Two things really.

First, I ran out of time to make a new comic. I’ve spent the last two days reading handwritten journals from around 70 inmates. If it wasn’t for the fact I can actually see an improvement in their writing, I’d ditch the bloody things. But journaling improves writing, so I do it.

Second, I’m actually thinking of a weird little project annotating some of the early stuff and answering questions about the comic. I think it would be a nice place to do all of the stuff I wanted to do as Appendices but didn’t feel comfortable putting into a book really aimed at children.

If you have a google wave account and would be interested in seeing what I’m talking about add pyrophage (at) googlewave.com as a contact and I’ll start plugging away at these things. If you don’t have a google wave account send me an email at pyrophage (at) gmail.com and I’ll send out invites until I run out.

Again I’d like to remind you this Sunday is the candle ceremony for Compassionate Friends if you know of anyone who has lost a child feel free to send them to the Compassionate Friends website for support.
