I want to say a quick word of thanks to the people who have already subscribed to Cartozia Tales. I think you're going to be pleased with what arrives in the mail at the end of the month!

Issue #1 is now two-thirds finished. I'm waiting on a couple of nearly finished stories, including my own contribution (delayed by some health trouble that is thankfully all resolved now), and then we'll need to work up a few of the extras (text pieces, bonuses, and so forth).

Meanwhile, I've added a few story previews to the "Cartoziana" gallery, and a couple of color images that feature our sweet new logo designed by Leah Palmer Preiss. Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that two of our core cartoonists, Sarah Becan and Lucy Bellwood, will be representing Cartozia at the CAKE convention in Chicago this weekend. If you're in the neighborhood, drop by! CAKE is a terrific show.
