Here is my cover for Usagi Yojimbo: Senso #4. I'm 2/3 of the way finished with this mini-series. I'll take a week off to work on my contribution to the Comic-con souvenir book, a painting for a special project, and a trip to speak at Michigan State University, then it's on to issue 5.

When does it come out?
Stan Sakai wrote:
Theo--it will probably be coming out much later in the year, maybe the fall. I will have a lot of other projects coming out before then--47 Ronin, Nilson Groundthumper, UY Book 28, and, in December, the first Dark Horse Usagi omnibus collecting about three books.

Do you have a ready list of conventions you plan on attending this year?

Frank--I've cut back on my conventions this year because of Sharon's health. The only ones I am confirmed for are Emerald City in Seattle, Big Wow in San Jose, and San Diego Comic-con.

Sharon had chemo today. We got a great parking spot in a seemingly full garage when a guy stopped us and indicated he was going to leave. It wasn't a handicap space, but it was extra wide to accommodate the wheelchair. We got a private chemo room, overlooking Griffith Park. I had to pick up a prescription, and the pharmacy wasn't crowded at all. And, when we left the parking attendant was on a break and the gate was up with a sign "Please Exit". What a good day. We have to celebrate all these little victories.

Chemo really exhausts Sharon, and she's been sleeping all afternoon.

On a whim I bought some fresh mussels today, and made linguini with saffron mussels for dinner. I should do that more often. It was delicious!
