"A Duel in the Somme" is now appearing once a day, every day, for two more weeks. It was written by Rob ("Erfworld," "Partially Clips") Balder and sci-fi legend Ben Bova, and the dead-tree version will be available next month. I did the illustration, and it was colored by "K&K" colorists Terrence and Isabel Marks who did their usual brilliant job. Rob's using the tip jar business model for this project, so please help him out.

It's two weeks until Intervention, my final con of 2010 where the "A Duel in the Somme" hard copy will make its debut. The con takes place in the Washington DC area on September 10-12. They have a really strong lineup of webcomic creators, and I'm looking forward to it. I'll have all of the books, including the newest "Kevin & Kell" collection, "On Strike." It's also available at The Bill Holbrook Store for $15.95, plus shipping. We'll also debut the latest "Fastrack" and "Safe Havens" collections, "Merger!" and "Resident Advisor."

As previously mentioned, The Bill Holbrook Store has "On the Fastrack: New Hair Day" and "Safe Havens: Taking Wing." We also have the remaining stock of Plan Nine collections, which are discounted here. As previously noted, the websites of "On the Fastrack" and "Safe Havens" have been redesigned. Remember to now access "Fastrack" at The Washington Post and "Safe Havens" at the Seattle P-I.

In other Fastrack news, Bud Spore, the strip's IT guru, is now posting weekly commentary of the events going on in that strip. You can experience what exists of his personality here. This week he comments on his appearance on the reality show Top Blogger.

I'm honored and delighted that the Mensa organization has selected "Kevin & Kell" as one of its Top 50 Websites. Thanks!
