Hi {name},

Welcome to Septermber's MUSEletter. This missive is attempting a stunt more ambitious than the usual second Tuesday update. Our collection of friends also on the trail of an illusive muse has grown over the summer, and so I have a bunch of special features to share...

• • Who's a Good Go Doggo?
  • introducing UKGK.site
  • IMPERFEComics returns
  • Cool Stuff Dept.

Because we're welcoming a number of new subscribers (and I've been using this MUSEletter to share my other kinds of comics), I thought it would be time for something fun. The Who's A GOOD DOGGO? contest! I've collected 16 Go Doggo comics in one poll and I'd like you to choose your favorite!

Which of those 16 comics do you think is best? Voting will run through the month of September. Then as a part of my October UKGK campaign I'll share with everyone which comic was voted the Goodest Doggo! Subscribers who selected the winning comic will then have a special Go Doggo care package sent to them. That care package will feature a new PLUGOarts COMICcard and perhaps even a tuft of fur, plucked from The Master himself. So, when you have the time to enjoy a bunch of Go Doggo comics, click the link.

It's been quite some time since I produced an IMPERFEComic. Long time readers may recall the stream-of-consciousness style of auto-bio comics I launched this MUSEletter with. They were well enough received that I was offered the privilege of having one such story published in a comics anthology. That book was released just this Summer, August to be exact, and with all the recent summer-time activities I feel as though that bit of news was downplayed. From Cocinas to Lucha Libre Ringsides: A Latinx Comics Anthology was published by Ohio State Press and is now available whereever books are sold. Even Amazon 🤷🏽‍♂️

To Celebrate the occasion, I set aside some time over the extended weekend to work on a whole new auto-bio comic just for you.

Evel Knievel makes the Jump to Comics!

I met Ryland wandering a comics grove with-in the Wulin, the Kung Fu forest. It was his work with long-time collaborator/colleague Gene Ching which brought us together during San Diego Comic-Con 2024. Over this past summer we reconnected and that's when I discovered, much to my obvious delight, Ryland Gran would be bringing the legendary Evel Knievel to comics. 

"On the the eve of the outrageous motorcycle jump that would make him the most famous man in America - his iconic leap over the fountains at Caesar’s Palace - daredevil Evel Knievel must lock horns and match wits with an ornery Outlaw Motorcycle Club who believes they are entitled to a very large peace of his pie."

As you might guess, I have a lot to do before the Launch of UKGK on OCTOBER 1st - but I expect to be in touch with you at least once more before then...

–BEST!
