This weekend, join me at SPX in Bethesda, Maryland...as it will probably be my only east-coast trip for a while! I'll be givin' out free sketches and high-fives, as well as signing and selling books and original strips! (...which reminds me: I've received e-mails from a few folks asking that I bring this or that original. If you're hoping to pick up your favorite...make sure you e-mail me so I bring it along!)

2.) Heard Paul Anka on the radio, today, singing "Smells Like Teen Spirit". It was actually really, really, really good. You go, Paul Anka.

3.) I hope you don't mind the supersized Sheldon strips that have been runnin' lately. I've been giving myself the luxury of space, when the pacing needs it, and I've been enjoying it. I hope you have, too!

4.) I had two readers e-mail me today telling me they just finished reading through the entire Sheldon archives, which is always fun to hear. If you have down time at work or between classes, here are three ways to dive into the 2,000 Sheldon strips!

5.) That's right, I said 2,000! In just 9 days! Woo-hoo!
