There’s been some fun and interesting speculation on the comments of the current strip. Who do YOU think the mystery woman is from Bill’s past? The Dark Queen Vasheeva? The mysterious gypsy? Someone else alluded to in past strips? Someone you’ve not met yet? (And while you’re at it, who do you think the gnome is? Bill’s very own watcher Gnome 12? Gnome 13? Another one?) Heehee. FUN!
Over the holidays Don decided to have some fun inking & coloing one of my Dark Queen sketches, and here it is (along with my pencils so you can see the progress and work that went into it compared to the original sketch!)! Awesome work, Don. Love it! 
Don mentioned this in a comments thread recently… I did in fact do a 2-page “Kid Billy” version of LoB about 2 years ago for a special book collection on using comics for literacy called “Reading With Pictures“, and here’s a rough sketch from one of the panels of it. I’ll have to publish this eventually, but until then, you can read it within THIS BOOK!
A few years back I got this fantastic fan art from one of my friends and respected colleagues, Lar DeSouza, who you ALL know from Looking for Group & Least I Could Do and more. As a special lil’ gift, I wanted to re-post this… perhaps I’ll re-post more past fan art, as much of it was lost in the move to the new server. Ho, ho, ho!
Due to circumstances out of my control (as in, a sick lil’ boy home from school and an rpg card game (news on this SOON!) and other comics to attend to under holiday deadline), LoB will post tomorrow – dammit, looks like I fell off my saddle afterall! Thanks for your patience. Pixie, libations for everyone! Until then, enjoy this Never-before-seen-here LoB strip exclusively for Renaissance Magazine! (Where LoB runs every issue! Check local bookstores!)
Janeen Satone sent me this FANTASTIC Princess Gina fan art (upon my request, as she posts quite a bit of work at my “The Sketchbook” Facebook group page (come join!)) and here it is! Check her work out at her tumblr account or her Deviant art page, you won’t be disappointed. And I invite ANY of you to send in fan art for LoB, as I LOVE receiving them and seeing what YOU do with the characters! Now Imma have to twist Janeen’s arm for a Dark Queen because there’s something addicting about the way she draws, lol. Thanks, Janeen!
