SLUG!

It's officially here!!!!!


MY BUDDY, SLUG

is in book stores!!!

Today was a busy day! The two schools were a good test drive for the giant SLUG book. I'll be really strong by the end of this book tour! If you get out to an event, I think you will get a kick out of watching me try to manage a 2 foot by 3 foot book. My RISD talk went really well. Too many funny highlights for a tired illustrator to post right now. But I wanted to introduce "The SLUG count". Every time I read
My Buddy, Slug, I will put another stamp on this board. Kind of like old fashioned bomber planes that you would see in cartoons.

yea! i have been waiting for this day ever since you announced the publication date ... i sent my son to school in his "my buddy, slug" shirt, so hopefully he will advertise it!

i went to my local barnes&noble just now and they didn't have it! i asked the guy to look it up for me and he said that it was classified as a text book for some reason, so they wouldn't be getting it in unless i special ordered it or more people asked for it. can you believe that?! i am now hoping to find it either at borders or i might order it online. i was sooo hoping to have it in my hands todays, so i'm disappointed. i'm now on a mission to find it!

if anyone has video of jarrett trying to manage his giant slug book, please post it!

good luck with the rest of your tour, jarrett!
