Paul's Comment: I'm a big fan of those packing peanuts. As a youngin' I used to take them under the sink faucet and watch them dissolve into a soupy afterlife, tossing my head back and laughing as I held power over their little one-track lives. I once felt this way about bubblewrap but I quickly lost the desire to care about popping them, one after the other after the other.
Hookhand will be explained by Damon since this was his idea. I only do as I'm told or else he whips me. With a big whip. Made of tree bark. It hurts. So please tell me you love this comic and leave lots of comments so that I can go a day without a beating. It'd be nice for a change.
I'll be attending Philcon 2006 this Saturday if anyone wants to meet me and share some drinks. Chances are I'll draw a comic about you later. But no vanity authors, please. You'll only make me want to drink more.
Also, check out Clarkesworld Books as they have a bunch of cool books, magazines, and special signed editions to purchase. I can't find any signed in blood yet but I'm sure they're there...
Damon's Comment: Ok, so Hookhand is a big fantasy reader fan and lost some fingers in a hunting accident, maybe a garage door accident, heck, maybe in a wild knife fight. Or just by slicing some cantalope. So he decides to replace his hand with a hook cause it will make him the coolest out there. Sure, but what does he do when he wants to read or wipe his butt? Anyways, shout out to Clarkesworld Books. Neil is a cool dude.
