&lt;b&gt;8 February 2010&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
It might be three or four weeks until I get the next comic up, as apartment moving and day job 
busyness are looming large. Thanks for stopping by.

I’ve added a page to collect &lt;a href=readerstuff.htm&gt;the photos and other stuff&lt;/A&gt; 
readers send me from time to time. Happy holidays everyone, see you in the new year.

&lt;b&gt;7 December 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
One last sales pitch and then I'll shut up. This Christmas season, why not 
give &lt;a href=http://www.tworavenspress.com/TRP%20Parsimony.html&gt;the gift of (my) poetry&lt;/a&gt;? 
My daring publishers and I promise that your money won't go toward evil, which is more 
than can be said for basically everything you might buy in a mall. 
And they have a 
&lt;a href=http://www.tworavenspress.com/TRP_Special_Offers.html&gt;sale&lt;/a&gt; on, with extra savings if you buy two or more books.

What makes a perfect gift that special literate someone, that moody mistress of the mistletoe, 
that friend of the arts who you can't ever find something for? How about one of 
&lt;a href=awmowh.htm&gt;these fine postcard sets&lt;/a&gt;? 
&lt;P&gt;
And if you'd like to buy a &lt;a href=http://www.topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&amp;Store_Code=TO&amp;Category_Code=BF&gt;t shirt&lt;/a&gt; 
before Christmas, you’ll want to have a look at the 
&lt;a href=http://topatoco.com/hey/?p=129&gt;shipping deadlines&lt;/A&gt;. 
&lt;P&gt;
Thanks as always for the support.

&lt;b&gt;2 November 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Some years ago I got an email from a reader asking for my blessing to work on a Buttercup Festival video game. 
Whatever became of it? Well, it remains unfinished, but &lt;a href=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCO1nZKVda8&gt;this video&lt;/a&gt; 
will give you an idea of what the creator, Lazarus, had in mind. And an anonymous reader has submitted 
&lt;a href=ButtercupFestivalIcons.zip&gt;a batch of BF icons&lt;/A&gt;. Enjoy.

&lt;b&gt;27 August 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
A recent collaboration with friend and illustrator 
&lt;a href=http://www.lauriehastings.com&gt;Laurie Hastings&lt;/a&gt; 
is available in the form of a 6-postcard set, 
&lt;a href=poetry.htm&gt;As We Make Our Way Home&lt;/A&gt;. As I'll be shipping these myself, I am happy to sign, personalize or 
whatever them.  
And have I mentioned that 
&lt;a href=http://www.tworavenspress.com/TRP%20Parsimony.html&gt;I have a book&lt;/a&gt;? I’m just so excited. 
&lt;P&gt;
I know that updates have been a bit lax around here lately but I'm going to make that up to you in the next few weeks. 
Thanks for reading, everyone.

&lt;b&gt;21 August 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Hi all, next week's comic won't be up until mid-week. See you then!&lt;P&gt;
&lt;b&gt;17 August 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
My book of poems is now available from 
&lt;a href=http://www.tworavenspress.com/HTML%20Pages/Parsimony.htm&gt;Two Ravens Press&lt;/A&gt;. 
It's called &lt;i&gt;Parsimony&lt;/i&gt;, and, while I guess this is an obvious thing to say, I hope you buy a copy. 
It has a lot of &lt;i&gt;Buttercup Festival&lt;/i&gt;'s soul in it. You can even play the spot-the-BF-reference game: two poems 
lift lines from different strips, one old and one new. And you get bonus points for spotting the &lt;i&gt;Calvin and Hobbes&lt;/i&gt; 
reference. 
&lt;P&gt;
No new strip today, but here's another drawing from &lt;a href=birds.htm&gt;The Renaming of the Birds&lt;/A&gt;, and I'll have some new 
BF for you next week, plus other updates and changes.
