Over the past decade he has had work featured in publications for JC Penney, Focus on the Family, United Way, on the popular music blog Daytrotter, and was a regular contributor to Nickelodeon Magazine. He is the creator of the books The Goldfish and Bob, Valentine: A Cautionary Tale, and Tuesday Moon. His cartoon journal, Casual Poet, has evolved from a daily drawing experiment into an ongoing rumination on the joys of living, and he is knee-deep in the aptly titled long form comic strip Reading War & Peace, in which he chronicles his life while reading War & Peace. Webb also performs music as both Seamonster and Fox Hands, and most recently has joined forces with Apples in Stereo front man Robert Schneider to create Robbert Bobbert and the Bubble Machine - a record/comic book combo for children.

Hahaha thanks for that :-) I am still optimistic we can hit the goal last-minute-underdog style - however, i have been formulating a "plan b" should we miss the mark on the 4th, which will allow us to keep moving forward - and get everyone their rewards as well as give me some extra free time to draw the rest of nicolas cage! the comic book experience. with the two thousand or so dollars currently pledged, i can still manage to take about eight weeks off (which should be enough time for me to crank out the cage book) and make everyone's backer rewards. that said, i am still hoping we pull through on here!!!
ALSO
i haven't heard much back from anyone as far as things they'd like me to try to fit into the story - anyone have unusual cage factoids worth exploring? do tell! i've got a good amount thus far, but there's always room for more...
C'mon, you guys! Only a few days left. Now is no time to be frugal. You know Nic Cage wouldn't be.
