PLATYPUS POLICE SQUAD

My kids forget.

So I have to remind them 

that I'm

awesome

ALL THE TIME!

Sometimes I remind the boys by

asking sooper pals like

sooper author

Jarrett J. Krosoczka

if he can sign a copy of his 

latest book

to them.

And because he's 

awesome

I got this in the mail:

You probably know 

Mr. Krosoczka

from this book:

And these books:

But now he's doing these:

 And now we've

got a signed edition:

It's filled with 

Jarrett's sooner fun

illustrations:

He even wrote the boys a 

special note on a special

postcard:

Thanks for reminding 'em,

Mr. Krosoczka!

Can't wait to read it!

You rock!

THE SECRET CHAPTER OF THE HUMAN DIVISION

So as I mentioned in

my last post,

I got to hang out with

Hugo Award winning

sci-fi author

ninja

mallet of loving correction

wielding

John Scalzi

while he was in town

promoting

this:

Which is the 

fifth sequel to

this:

But

The Human Division

was published a little differently

than the others.

Once a week,

from 

January 15th

to

April 9th

a new chapter

was released digitally

for

99 cents.

And every Tuesday,

for 13 weeks,

I parked myself at my favorite

Mexican lunch spot

with a spicy

burrito Massiel

con pollo,

a Jarritos soda

and 

a chapter of 

awesomeness.

But now it's over

and

Tuesdays feel kinda

empty.

Fortunately,

Mr. Scalzi has announced

that he'll be writing a follow up to

The Human Division.

But that's

SO FAR AWAY!!!

So what did I do?

I asked him to 

write me a 

five sentence

chapter

of 

The Human Division 

in my sketchbook.

AND HE DID!

The story is,

of course,

THRILLING

EXCITING

and

filled

with

AWESOME.

See?

Wait...

Look closer:

Yup.

This is perhaps

one of the 

coolest things

that has ever happened

to me.

THANK YOU,

MR. SCALZI!

FYI:

The

hardcover

edition of

The Human Division

is out 

NOW.

Go get it.

And please

shut up

and

go see

Mr. Scalzi

while he's on tour!
