I used to do that with the money my dad’s parents sent me for Christmas and birthdays. When they found out I gave their money to charities they stopped sending it … Oh well, charity as such is but a band aid on existing injustices, not a tool against their actual causes.

Swedish peoples, tentatively rejoice! As it turns out I’m 85% sure that there will be a Driftwood book in Swedish printed and ready for the masses at the Stockholm Comics Festival (SPX) at the end of this coming April! In one form or another. :3
An English version will follow this summer. Whee!
Edit, January 17th:
Yeah, now I can announce it publicly – there will definitely be a Swedish Driftwood book out at the end of April, in time for SPX! And it will be published by Epix. :3
We still have to decide exactly how fat it’s going to be, and you can help in the new poll on the left!
As mentioned, there will be an English version out next summer, published by yours truly, so even if you don’t read Swedish you are welcome to answer the poll.
With the English book I can do pretty much what I want, so I will release both physical copies and a digital PDF version. You’ll be able to order the physical book either from me in Germany, or directly from the printer (ComiXpress) in the USA, which might be handy for all you North Americans. :o)

93 (not 97 as I wrote just now … I really worked my ass off today) years ago today Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht were murdered. Sadly I couldn’t visit their graves today, because I have to work my ass off. This photo is from the same date in 2009:
Yaaay! Driftwood book! I’m crossing my fingers!
Oh thanks a lot for remembering me this day!
Also, this is really great news. Oh, swedish is a nice language of course and Swedes are a great people that is so proud of not having made a war for two centuries, but still, I think I’ll be waiting a little more to get the english book.
