Pre-ordering information for Friends With Boys!
IMPORTANT PRE-ORDERING INFORMATION! Friends With Boys is available for pre-order at your local comic store on page 291 of December’s issue of Previews! Yay! Apparently it is “Certified Cool,” which is very nice. The Previews code is DEC111077, so if you are fortunate enough to live in a town with a decent comic book store that you enjoy shopping at (like my own, always awesome Strange Adventures), please pre-order Friends With Boys from them. If you (sadly) do not have a great local comic shop there is also pre-ordering available online. You can pre-order it at Amazon (or the Canadian Amazon, or Chapters), Barnes & Noble or you can support local and find an indie bookstore in your area via Indie Store Finder.
Pre-ordering a book is very important, as it lets retailers know readers are interested in buying the book, and encourages them to stock and support it. If you have been enjoying the online version of Friends With Boys and think you might like to buy it when it comes out, please consider pre-ordering in whatever bookstore/comic book store or online outlet you prefer. I’d very much appreciate it.
I love the bedroom, and would like to have one like that with the cathedral ceiling and the sun streaming through with the early morning light!
Heh, believe me, you do not want to have a room right under the roof. At least not as long as it isn’t spectacularly well insulated and/or air conditioned. Or maybe if you live next to the polar circle. Summer sun kills you in there. :p
Aw, really? But it looks so cool! And you can look up and see the stars… Oh well.
I’ve lived in an attic room with a window over the bed before. It’s not that bad! In fact, it’s quite awesome. I lived in the Northern hemisphere–but on the same latitude lines as Canada–NOT the polar circle. No worries!

Awww. D101 memories…
Beautiful lines, love it!
Whoaaaaaa. I was doodling a comic back in 2010 and the first page was the EXACT SAME as this page except for the layout of the room. Creepy.
This page is also very similar the very first comic page I ever drew, back in 1999: http://www.faitherinhicks.com/smuu/page1.jpg

I like the way you only made it white where the sun is shining in

Is that the reverse, pillows-are-for-feet sleep position? I still pull that one off from time to time. Good character detail.
