Issue #22

Looks like I'm back on some kind of reasonable schedule here! You guys should check out the next issue, Brothers, and catch up on all the Rock of Pages that's online so far. I think of this issue as a quick pop single to follow up the epic Fred Lactus ballad, both for my own sanity in creating the darn thing, and to sort of cleanse the reader's pallette before moving on. 

Those of you who have seen me in the convention circuit know that I'm always accompanied by my brother and great artist Nate Xopher. I've toyed around with introducing our dynamic into the series but it never quite fit until now. Also, when we last saw cartoon Lee, he was some type of cosmic extra-dimensional space baby with the potential to grow up to be a hairy art major. So has the universe looped around again, giving him another chance at life? Or is this just a further example of the fractured timeline whose ripples are still causing temporal distortions? I don't know, ask your mom.



The Fathers Become The Sons

At long last, the exciting conclusion to the Saga of Fred Lactus is here! 

I've been working on this issue for over a year now and Fred has been a part of my life for much longer than that. It's tremendously rewarding to be able to complete the multi-part story I started years ago. A big thanks goes out to all the fans who have followed the story for as long as it's taken to reach the end.

So, I may be finished with Fred Lactus, but Rock of Pages is not over yet. I've got three more issues planned before wrapping the series, so stay tuned! Also, I think I've officially outgrown leexopher.com 3.0, so a redesign is in the near future.

I think I'm going to go take a nap first.



Cincinnati Comic Expo 2013

In case you haven't followed me on twitter, or liked me on facebook, I'll be exhibiting at the Cincinnati Comic Expo this weekend, September 14-15. Check out the convention website for more details.

As always, I'll be joined by brother and awesome artist Nate Xopher. We'll both have a bunch of Xopher swag available, so if you happen to be there, stop on by table B2 and say hi. New and returning visitors should also celebrate the convention by catching up on some Rock of Pages. The exciting conclusion of the Saga of Fred Lactus is still in progress, so bear with me patient fanboys and fangirls. 

Hope to see you all this weekend!



Issue #20

What better way to ring in the New Year than with a new issue of Rock of Pages? Well, there are probably quite a few ways, but since you're already here, you should check out the latest chapter. And if you're feeling nostalgic, go here to re-read some past hits.

Before any rumors get started, let me go on record as saying I'm not currently dating anyone. The mostly-fictional-cartoon-girl in this issue is the same one that mostly-fictional-cartoon-Lee met in Issue #17. At this point in the series, my main goal is to complete a cohesive narrative, rather than go strict auto-bio. And with this issue in particular, I wanted to tell a legitimate love story without any cynicism or dick jokes. 

I also want to thank everyone for another great year of Rock of Pages. Connecting with people through my art really makes all the hard work worthwhile. The exciting conclusion of the Saga of Fred Lactus is up next, so I expect it to be several months before I'll have that online. Some great ways to keep up with any updates or convention appearances is to like me on facebook, or follow me on twitter. 

Thanks again you guys, and I'll see you in the future!
