I live in Seattle and began my book tour here. As a treat for my fellow residents, I showed this comic in the beginning of my presentation at the Seattle book signing.
As of this morning 5 Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth is #5 on the New York Times Best Sellers list.
It's also still in the top 100 on Amazon and
is currently sitting pretty at #59 on USA Today's Top 150 Best-Selling Books.
I want to extend a giant, smothering, category-5 tornado thank you to everyone who supported me and picked up a copy.
Without you magnificent people I'd probably be living in the hills and surviving on pigeon meat and granola bars dropped by hikers.
My book tour has been going wonderfully as well. Hundreds of people have been turning out at each event and at SXSW they sold out of books hours before the signing even started,
so instead I signed stickers and conference brochures.
Also, I'm halfway done with my book tour and when I return to Seattle at the month you can expect tons of new comics.
I've been living between hotels, airports, and bookstores lately due to the tour so there's been little time for cartooning.
Again, thank you! I want to hug you all so hard that your internal organs spray out of your bums.

Tonight Obama is meeting with Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt, and Mark Zuckerberg.
There's been a lot of speculation about what they're going to discuss. Here's what I think.
Starting today, any poster or signed print you buy from the shop will include a free copy of the 15 things worth knowing about coffee poster.
The bonus poster has a bit of promotional info at the bottom about my new book, so hopefully you'll hang it somewhere highly visible like over a traffic light or on the backs of your kids.
You have to enable the new version of Digg to see it and they'll probably remove it when the new changes go live to the public, but it's hilariously awesome anyhow.
