So I said I wasn't going to have a comic for today but I drew up a fun little interlude for the part 3/part 4 bridge.

If you're just joining us - IC updated every day this week as my producer (Ren Caldwell) and my 1st AD (Kevin Erhard) have taken it upon themselves to focus my attention to do comics while on set for my first feature "Natalie, Queen of Scots." They are basically stage managing my life right now and it is as annoying as it is completely necessary.

Enjoy the interlude, wish me luck as we move into one of the biggest weeks of pre-production as well as part 4 of Brothers Donathan.

A quick word: The news that Michael Jackson has passed away from a heart attack is very shocking and sad. It's always terrible to lose an artist and entertainer and it hits harder when the person is an icon of pop culture as he was. Our reaction to the news was similar to what I imagine a lot of people's reactions were - to go back home to listen to his music. He will be missed - what a tragic character.

Dave Smith has a nice write up about it at his site. Dave is a very talented comedian who I had the privilege of being friends with growing up. He understands one of the most overlooked rules of comedy - that half of making jokes is knowing when not to make one. Some of his work is just simply touching.
