Have you ever wanted to read a 240-page comic book about your very own fantastic human body? Well, now you can. This book includes classic hits like “Why Do We Yawn?”, “How Does a Cut Get Infected?” and “Where Do Farts Come From?”. There are elaborate dance routines by oxygen molecules in tutus and a chorus line of infectious diseases (because I though everyone would want to see a bacterium in fishnet stockings).</div>

Greetings, meat machines! Happy (belated) Valentine's Day. While I do not condone a holiday filled with waxy, cheap chocolates, chalky candy hearts, and sappy poems, I DO fully support cardiovascular health! BOOYEAH. So, take your heart on a date. Personally, I took mine for a brisk two-hour shoveling of snow, followed by a 5-mile walk in said snow. It sure beats (ha!) staying in and eating bad chocolate.</div>

<br />
Batman Black and White #1<br />
I wrote an 8-page story (drawn by Mr. Quinones) in this amazing anthology!<br />
<br />

Batman '66 #3<br />
I was the colorist for Joe Quinones' Joker story (written by Jeff Parker).<br />
<br />
<b>Stuff that happened</b>:<br />
<br />
M.I.C.E. was AWESOME! I love that we've got a great little local comics expo in the Boston area; thanks to everyone who stopped by to say "hi" or came to my panel/workshop!<br />
<br />
<b>What's up next</b>:<br />
<br />
I got to color this sweet RoboCop cover that Joe did for NYCC (we've been collaborating a bunch recently, can you tell?):<br />

Hi there!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://us.macmillan.com/primates/JimOttaviani">Primates</a> is officially out! If you like science, or comics (or both), please check it out. I've been working on this book with <a href="http://www.gt-labs.com/">Jim Ottaviani</a> and <a href="http://www.firstsecondbooks.com/">First Second Books</a> for 5 years, so I am very excited to finally welcome it into the word.<br />
<br />
All this week, I'll be posting Primate-related things. So bear with me. Or rather, "ape" with me.<br />
<br />
If you have any questions about the book, feel free to ask!<br />
<br />

Primates is in the NY Times Book Review today! It's reviewed by Carl Zimmer, one of my favorite science writers!

I've added a list of events on the side, and I'll be posting a lot about the book. Jim's got fun stuff over on his <a href="http://www.gt-labs.com/blog/2013/03/primates-events-were-having-some.html">blog</a> (with more Michigan-centric events). So, I sure hope you all like Great Apes.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.orionmagazine.org/index.php/newsfrom187/entry/7549/">Here's a piece</a> that both Jim and I wrote for Orion Magazine's blog. Look for more Primates-related articles soon!<br />
<br />
And here's a banana, just for you:<br />

I'll be at the Toronto Comics Arts Festival this weekend!<br />
<br />
It's my first time in Toronto, and I am EXCITED! <a href="http://joequinones.blogspot.com/">Joe Quinones</a> and I will be hanging out at <a href="http://torontocomics.com/news/tcaf-2013-floor-maps/">TABLE 216</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://us.macmillan.com/primates/JimOttaviani">Primates</a> isn't officially out yet, but I have 10 copies of the book that I'm giving away for free. There's a slight catch; if you want a book, you have to do a little work (I promise that it's FUN work). Come see me for more info!<br />

Tomorrow (Saturday May 4th) is <a href="http://www.freecomicbookday.com/Home/1/1/27/992">Free Comic Book Day</a>! Joe and I (along with a bunch of other cool comics peeps) are celebrating this joyous occasion at <a href="http://www.acmecomics.com/">Acme Comic</a>s in Greensboro, NC. If you're in the area, stop by anytime between 10 AM and 5 PM for a free sketch! I'll also have prints for sale, as well as a preview copy of <a href="http://us.macmillan.com/primates/JimOttaviani">Primates</a> for you to lay your eyeballz on.<br />
<br />
If you're not in the area, be sure to pick up the <a href="http://www.freecomicbookday.com/Home/1/1/27/1041?stockItemID=STK525514">Free Spongebob Comic</a>! It's got a one-page comic about camouflage (by yours truly).<br />

In the beginning of <a href="http://us.macmillan.com/primates/JimOttaviani">Primates</a>, a young Jane Goodall has the opportunity to witness a chicken lay an egg. This moment of observation reveals not just where that egg came from, but the significance of observation itself! So much of the science in Primates is about sitting, and waiting, and looking, and listening, and documenting...and making connections.maris wickshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16071196465447279170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-64051177609536569.post-89730121003337099142013-04-09T12:50:00.002-04:002013-04-09T12:54:30.182-04:00"Yes, Let's" is out!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey everyone, the brand-new hard cover version of "Yes, Let's" is out today!! <a href="http://tugboatpress.com/"> Tugboat Press</a> initially released an awesome mini-version of this book in 2010; the new edition is published through <a href="http://www.tanglewoodbooks.com/books/yeslets.html">Tanglewood Press</a>, and it's larger and includes some additional illustrations.<br />
<br />
Written by <a href="http://galenlongstreth.com/">Galen Goodwin Longstreth</a> and illustrated by me, "Yes, Let's" can be purchased at all sorts of places: <a href="http://www.powells.com/biblio/62-9781933718873-0">Powell's Books</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1933718870/ref=cm_sw_su_dp">Amazon</a>, or your favorite local book store. If they don't have it, please ask! The more people asking for "Yes, Let's", the more stores will carry it (and I thank you ahead of time).<br />
<br />
And since "Yes, Let's" is all about getting outside, I'm going to go enjoy this glorious Spring weather (while it lasts -- I DO live in New England...so, it'll probably snow tomorrow or something).<br />
<br />
