SPACE PEST REMOVAL

I have launched as of yesterday a new webcomic called Space Pest Removal. It is about 2 aliens and their SPR ship who have the mundane job of capturing all of the bugs and pests of the universe.
I am planning to post new stips each Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I hope I can pull it off! There are already 21 strips up at the website http://spacepestremoval.com/

Take a peak! Let me know what you think!

I was on TV today + Announcement

I was interviewed on a local TV show on Rogers Channel 22 called Daytime with Derick and TL. It was my first TV interview ever! The hosts were very nice and the crew was very professional. It was a great experience. I was there to promote my upcoming book, The Art of Richtoon that will be released on May 12th.

A moment to post

So I'm in the middle of teaching... and as usual, my blog is taking a hit! It is really difficult to find the few minutes it takes to post something. My goal is to post something at least once a month! So here are a few fun designs for you!
