I loved this book (and of course I'm also a fan of Trondheim or Sfar stuff). Now, waiting for Habibi!

May you find the creativity and spirit to finish the book as you envisioned it from the beginning! I hope that Habibi breaks my heart like Blankets does every time I read it!

I can't wait until I can finally get my hands on a freshly printed version of Habibi. you're a great artist and inspiration for my life, and for my work ... right now I'm sketching my way through my very first graphic novel ... and looking through your blog I realized I should spend less time on sketching and more time on the actual artwork. hope to be a graphic novelist like you some day in not too distant future, but right now all we have in common is our love for European comic artists and a certain susceptibility to tendinitis. *sigh* did you ever get rid of this? whatever, hope you're doing fine, keep up the amazing work you're doing hey Craig,

Thank you for that. I can't wait for "Habibi". Good luck, and cheers to your handiwork!

Saw your well-loved books there and googled you in hopes that I'd find another gem by you that I had not yet dicovered. I am so happy to have one to look forward to. : ) Cheers!

I definitely subscribe to Heidi MacDonald's vague theory of the "satisfying chunk" and because the ratio of the speed to create a comic versus the speed to read one is so very low, that necessitates that the "satisfying chunk" must be quite large in this medium. All that is to say: I'll be plenty patient, just get this whole thing done at once and put it out for me in one book! Additionally, I just started reading the blog. I had come across it before but prevented myself from diving in for fear I would be sucked in. Well, I gave in today and let myself be sucked in and sat down and read all the way back to the very first post, so now I'm hooked. I'll be reading the blog from now on. I love the personal touches, I love the randomness, and I can't wait to read Habibi. For what it’s worth, I whole heartedly support your approach of putting out a whole book at once.
