RUN, do not walk, to the latest installment of The Chronicles of William Bazillion! I provide a handy recap of the past two years' worth of stories, while (re-)introducing two characters who will have a big impact on the upcoming (I promise) resolution of The Race for Santa's Nazi Gold.

Excelsior!

Here's the conclusion to Chapter Five of The Race for Santa's Nazi Gold:

Thanks for reading!

Here's the new installment of William Bazillion. This week sums up the whole character pretty well, and it's based on one of the ideas that went into the creation of good ol' William in the first place:

More Nixon than you can shake a stick at in this week's The Chronicles of William Bazillion.

Miss it at your peril!

Last Thursday, Shaenon and I were officially confirmed as members of The National Cartoonists Society! Yes, the same NCS that has counted Walt Kelly, Charles Schulz, Al Capp, Sergio Aragones, Hank Ketcham and many, many other talented artists among their ranks now includes me and Shaenon K. Garrity.

And if I'm really, really lucky, none of the members of the NCS will read this week's Chronicles of William Bazillion, since I'm sure it's grounds for expulsion.

In December 2006, William Bazillion announced his expedition to the Arctic, with the intention of recovering some long-missing Nazi gold. By the spring of 2007, William and his crew set forth for Svalbard, the site of the Doomsday Seed Vault.

As a matter of fact, the two most major plot devices in William Bazillion right now involve Svalbard's Doomsday Seed Vault and the search for Nazi gold.

I'm not the paranoid type, but I'm expecting to see headlines pairing Doug Henning's corpse and Nixon nostalgia any day now...

The siege of Gunther Klaus's fortress begins.
