May 08, 2008 -- Beneath the robes

As you can see from this engraving, there really was clockwork in every part of the automaton, though its legs past the knees were just stuffed trousers with slippers sewn on.

In other news, I will be making an appearance next weekend at Motor City Comicon in Novi, Michigan. My name isn't on the website or program book because I didn't get on the stick soon enough to ask them to mention me, but I will be sharing a table with my husband Paul. In addition to having both my Vögelein books for sale, I'll also be offering a short-run minicomic of Clockwork Game that will feature this current scene in its entirety -- including pages that won't be available online for several weeks! So if you're anxious to see how this scene will play out, stop by my table and pick up a sneak preview! After the con, if I have any left, I'll offer them for sale here.
