Panel 1
Gretel stands in the woods. She is holding the bag of pearls, staring into the distance.

CAP: The children’s journey home from the gingerbread house was long, and they had other adventures along the way.

Panel 2
She tosses a handful of the witch’s pearls from the little bag. The pearls glow in the moonlight.

GRETEL: Find your way home, little pearls. Show me the way.

Panel 3
A path of shining pearls leads out from the cottage into the woods. Gretel follows it.

CAP: But nothing cheered them more than to find themselves in a familiar grove once more.

Panel 4
Through the dark woods, following the trail of pearls.

Unfortunately, I have trouble getting Comixpress to post two separate pages on the same day.  If you follow Gingerbread Houses in an RSS reader, and only saw one page today, you should click through to the website, as I’ve posted a single combined file with both pages.


William George of the fun fantasy comic Yes You Can! is doing a series of quick six-question interviews with folks he likes, and I happen to be the first up!  Read it here.


A couple more posts up at ComixTalk today, including my interview with Jim Ottaviani, writer of numerous graphic novels relating stories of true science history.


I’m guest blogging at ComixTalk.com this week, and my first article is already up.  Here’s what’s coming:

  • Monday: A write-up on the first print collection of Family Man, by Dylan Meconis, which has renewed my love for what was already one of my absolute favorite comics.
  • Tuesday: A hefty interview with creator of historical science stories, Jim Ottaviani, whose latest book, T-Minus, told the story of the moon landing.
  • Wednesday: A breakdown of some terrible advice often given to writers, and whatever else catches my interest between now and then.
  • Thursday: Not-comics day!  I’ll be looking at several works that technically aren’t comics, but still combine words and pictures to tell stories in an interesting way.
  • Friday: Lists!  Quick summary reading recommendations, broken down categorically.

I’ve just completed a complete overhaul of my other comics website, TwentySevenLetters.com.  If you haven’t checked out that site yet, you’ll find a completely different collection of my comics, including experimental comics, love stories, and office life stories.  You’ll also find an archive of all the writing I’ve done about comics over the years.

If you’ve been following my other blog as well, you’ll need to update your RSS link, as I’m no longer using the blogger account that blog was built on.
