Hello hello. No new comic yet I'm afraid, but I wanted to announce that a launch reading for Parsimony has been arranged for Friday the 5th of March, from 6 to 7:30pm at Word Power Books in Edinburgh. I realize that this is a rather out of the way place for most of BF's readership, but if you are in the area please come along and say hi. There will be reading, and wine, and words, and power.

I�ve added a page to collect the photos and other stuff readers send me from time to time. Happy holidays everyone, see you in the new year.

One last sales pitch and then I'll shut up. This Christmas season, why not give the gift of (my) poetry? 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 sale 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 these fine postcard sets?

And if you'd like to buy a t shirt before Christmas, you�ll want to have a look at the shipping deadlines.

Thanks as always for the support.

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 this video will give you an idea of what the creator, Lazarus, had in mind. And an anonymous reader has submitted a batch of BF icons. Enjoy.

A recent collaboration with friend and illustrator Laurie Hastings is available in the form of a 6-postcard set, As We Make Our Way Home. As I'll be shipping these myself, I am happy to sign, personalize or whatever them. And have I mentioned that I have a book? I�m just so excited.

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.

Hi all, next week's comic won't be up until mid-week. See you then!

My book of poems is now available from Two Ravens Press. It's called Parsimony, and, while I guess this is an obvious thing to say, I hope you buy a copy. It has a lot of Buttercup Festival'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 Calvin and Hobbes reference.

No new strip today, but here's another drawing from The Renaming of the Birds, and I'll have some new BF for you next week, plus other updates and changes.
