Ruh-roh!

The best part about being a freelance writer is that you sometimes never know what you're going to be working on next. (Conversely, the worst part about being a freelance writer is that you sometimes never know what you're going to be working on next.) Wednesday I was working on a Superman children's book (The Kid Who Saved Superman, coming from Stone Arch Books in Fall '09, part of a 48 book series featuring Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman; I'm writing at least four other books in the series as well), Thursday on a Bart Simpson comic book script, and today, I'll start on a new script for a Scooby Doo comic book story. Friday I went into New York and bothered everybody at DC Comics; everyone needs a hobby.

While I was there, my editor, Harvey Richards, showed the pencils for the last Scooby script I had turned in, "Sunday In The Park With Scooby." Fabio Laguna, who's from South America and whose work is new to America comics, did the art and did it so nicely, I just had to share a few pages (as ever, just click on a page to view it in a larger size). The story is scheduled to appear in Scooby Doo #143.
