OK this is probably the most ambitious Tall Comic that I've done thus far, and I hope that you can see why I am late again as I often am. I see my failure to update sooner as a matter of lack of competition. Honestly, where else are you going to read something like this?
A friend of mine and I invented Gary P. Rastov and his books some time ago. We outlined most of the characters, a vague story arc, themes, the passing of the torch to Rastov's son after his death, and just about everything we possibly could without actually writing anything. This is the best use I could think of for all of that information.
By the way, the same friend did the illustrations that I put on the covers. That was not my doing. You can see more of his art here.
