    John and Jana blog here. They are married and live in North Adams, MA. John is a writer and newspaper editor. Jana is a children's book illustrator. They used to work together in comics and now they just like to make comics together. Stories, too. They wrote a book about their travels a few years back.



    You can find Jana at her own web site. She also likes to write about Rabbit.

    John is full of all sorts of mutterings and ramblings.

    He also writes up all sorts of interviews and reviews about the art world and the comic and book worlds and the film and television world and the music world, as well as the very exciting world of writers.

    He does some other stuff here, too.
