And here’s page two of our little prologue before we join Rob & Oscar on whatever adventures they may or may not be having 300 years ago. Hope you enjoy the color again ( it only made sense to color this page, too).

This may be one of those situations where Jeremy looks back at his old art and groans, but I have always loved this picture. So did the guys at Nintendo Power (back when it was still called Nintendo Fun Club Magazine).
Jeremy won a Metroid themed art contest, which got him 2 free NES games (of his choice!) and a NES Advantage controller. Not too shabby!

This image was really hard to track down online for some reason, so I wanted to repost it where it would be easy for me to find again. Enjoy!
Here’s a picture of the full cover for the fourth issue (back to front) without the title and price box to obscure your view of Oscar’s glee.
So I did something a little differently when drawing this one.
When digital inking in photoshop I have to zoom in pretty close to the artwork, so I wondered: Why not pencil the cover in actual size? This is always kind of risky since it’s much harder to hide imperfections and add small details if the art will not be reduced in size at all. But at the same time, it forces you to keep things simple, since you don’t have all that space to work with. So, anyway, I took the plunge. The original penciled artwork is the exact same size as the physical copies of the issue.
So before I left for vacation I had all the pages ready to go for the last couple of weeks, but apparently something went wrong and page 19 went missing. It looks like I had accidentally put another page 18 file in with the page 19 file and page 18, being the stronger of the two, sat on it.
Whatever the case, it’s all fixed now. So if you want to see page 19 (and have the storyline make a little more sense), just click the “previous” button and pretend that you haven’t seen page 20 yet.
By the way, my wife and I just got back from Kauai. Just look at this horrible view we had to stare at for ten days…
I know what you’re thinking: How did we ever survive such a rich assault of color and happiness?
It wasn’t easy, my friends.
Every year I am blown away at how great the Emerald City ComiCon is. Even with a big increase in attendance, we actually had even better table spacing and placement than ever before. A huge thanks goes out to Jim, George, Chris, Brian, the volunteers, the staff of the convention center, and of course everyone who came out to attend.
Since ECCC is our local con, we always show up the morning of to do our table set up. This was the first time we bought two tables in the Artist Alley, and now it will be hard if we ever have to go back down to one. Thankfully, we always have a lot of help from our friends and family!
We wanted to say a big thank you to everyone that came out to see us at the con! To those of you that didn’t get a chance to pick up a copy of the trade paperback, but said you were interested in getting it online, here is a convenient link:
We will be doing a full con report in the next few days. Thanks again!
We will once again be in the Artist’s Alley at Seattle’s own Emerald City Comicon on April 4th and 5th. I know we’ve mentioned it before, but I wanted to post up a link to the show floor with our tables marked.
Here is a list of the stuff we will have for sale on hand:
Here There Be Robots Volume 1 - Marooned

Hey, friends, it’s that time of year again. As we gear up for the upcoming Emerald City Comicon, we’ve got a brand new Jones design waiting in the wings. Here’s the details:
-Just like last year, they are not for resale. So how do you get one? Simple: just buy one of our t-shirts and you get one of the bottles free. But hurry! There are only twelve to be had; first come, first serve.
-each bottle is signed and numbered to make it all official-like.
-Me, Jonah, and Geoffio take the first three, so there’s really only nine to be had. Gaah!
-High fructose corn syrup is gross. That’s why Jones Sodas are made with pure cane sugar.
Response was really good to the design last year, so we’re keeping up the tradition. Thanks for reading and see you at the con!
Monkeys collect things. Shouldn't you?
