May 11th, 2009: The Toronto Comic Art Festival was amazing and I wish it was every year. Thank you everyone for coming out and for the great conversations! I am really tired right now, but it is the best sort of tired ever.

GUESS WHAT JUST CAME OUT: IT'S MY NEW BOOK!! If you've ever wondered what you'd do if you were stranded in the past, wonder no longer! With HOW TO INVENT EVERYTHING, you'll reinvent civilization from scratch, no matter what time period you're in. You'll become the single most influential, decisive, and important person ever born. You'll make history...

...better.

Here's the trailer!
