Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? Added a new photo of WHTTWOT "In the Wild" taken by Joe Cislowski at an appropriate spot in Disneyland's Tomorrowland. It's terrific, Joe, thanks a lot!
More photos of WHTTWOT observed by field scouts in its natural habitat: bookstores, shelves, tables, tombstones, rocket engines, in the company of cats, and anyplace someone sees it and wants to send me a picture.

I wrote the book Mom's Cancer, which began as a Webcomic in 2004, won the Eisner Award for Best Digital Comic in 2005, and was published by Harry N. Abrams in 2006. Other recognition included the 2007 Harvey Award for Best New Talent and the 2007 German Youth Literature Prize. ...
Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? got a great review from Kathy Ceceri for "GeekDad" on Wired.com. Wired's GeekDads (and GeekMoms) are dedicated to the goal of celebrating geek culture and history, and passing it on to their kids--or, as their tagline says, "Raising Geek Generation 2.0." These are my people; if they didn't "get" WHTTWOT, no one would. ...So I'm very glad Kathy did.

I’m the only person in my family who’s not a comic book/graphic novel geek. But when graphic novels are used to illuminate history (as with Maus,
See MoreWhatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? I'm making plans for the Miami Book Fair, where I'll be speaking on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 1:30 (less than two weeks, geez!). I'll be doing a panel (can two people comprise a "panel?") with Neil Kleid, author of the grapnic novel "The Great Kahn." Never met him, really looking forward to it.
Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? added another two photos to the "In the Wild" photo album, these shot by friends-of-the-book Jim and Nancy during a visit to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. I especially like the one in which my book looks about 10 stories tall. Very thoughtful, Jim and Nancy, thanks again and always. (And hey, "In the Wild" now has TWO PAGES of pics!)

Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? I had a very nice time in Gualala, Calif. over the weekend, giving a talk and signing at Four-Eyed Frog Books. Met some great people (hi Nick) and had a wonderful weekend. A few more details and some photos on my blog:

Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? I just posted a new "Best Picture Ever" on my blog, a cool shot of the surface of Mars. If you like space stuff or have even an iota of capacity to be awed within you, it's worth a look:

I finally got around to assembling a Press Kit for WHTTWOT: my publisher's press release, a few pages of good reviews, plus some pictures. It's a little background info intended to help journalists and reviewers do their jobs, and it warmed my heart to see all the good reviews collected in one place (don't know what ha...ppened to the bad ones, hmm . . .). No big deal, but if you're curious and for future reference, I parked the PDF here: http://www.momscancer.com/Fies%20Press%2

Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow? adds FIVE new photos to the "In the Wild" photo album showing WHTTWOT in various locales. Four of them are from the tireless Jim O'Kane, who seems determined to drag my book to every super-cool space-related artifact in the country and photograph it there. As I told Jim privately, he doesn't have to keep doing it but I...'m sure not going to stop him! Cool pics, many thanks Jim.
