Hey Craig,
a big hello form a fan in England, love you work mate, its fantastic, every time I get a bit lost with my own art I go and read Carnet or Blankets and I can get back on track, I just cant wait for Habibi.

also just a note on that “museum”, I’d heard about it on the news over here a while back but I thought it was some kind of joke. It makes me sad to be a regular sane guy with a background in Geology whilst also being a Christian. for me there are no questions about science and religion, they sit hand in hand.
Big props to you man, I hope you make it over to the UK sometime.

It never ceases to amaze me that people readily mock what they do not understand. Do some research on creation model science before you draw too many conclusions. While many Christians have lost their faith due to the teachings of evolution theory, no scientist who has been convinced of the truth of creation has ever gone back to believing in evolution … that’s a 100% success rate, in my book.

If you’re embarassed by alternative views, challenging dogma, or standing up for and presenting evidence for what you believe, then America may not be the best place for you. There are thousands of museums that proclaim evolutionist theories as fact; I’m glad to see that a couple exist that are brave enough to stand in the face of powerful propagandists and ignorant mockery.

Drew – I totally agree, i live only a couple miles away, i think it is an embarrassment for the whole region. As if kentuckians weren’t already thought of as backwards hillbillies.

I’m just going to echo all of the above; I’ve been a fan of your work for a long, long time (but just got hip to the fact that you have a blog…) and I’m so excited to see these beautiful sneak peeks of Habibi– I can’t wait to see it in print!

You know, biblical literalism didn’t rear its ugly head until 1910 with the publishing of a series of essays called “the fundamentals: a testimony to the truth.” Before that people generally had the good sense to read the bible as an allegorical guidebook.

I love how the woman is wearing clothes next to what I assume is a baby Tyrannosaurus, insinuating that Eden is closed for business, yet carnivorous dinosaurs are apparently still on good terms with the human folk.

Craig I just wanted to say that I have recently read Blankets and I think it is fantastic!! I’m taking a course on graphic novels and have read many, but few spoke to me the way that yours did, so I just wanted to say thanks for that and I can’t wait for Habibi!! – Cara

Hello from Turkey!
I just read a few chapters of Blankets and I’m already looking forward to Habibi. Your comics are a really original combination of images & words. Also I think I see similarities to Will Eisner (panel transitions & shadows).
Thank you for drawing (knowing that you would draw anyway)…
