Just got this in the inbox:

New comic- "Europe's First Smoker"

I did this as a sort of warm-up for a much longer thing I'm working on. It's a story taken from this book I'm reading (Written by a totally different Eric Burns.) Anyway you can read Europe’s First Smoker here. It ends kind of abruptly, but so did the man in question. I'm entertaining making an Infinite Canvas version. Would anyone prefer that?

In honor of the nomination of Five Ways to Love A Cockroach for a WCCA in the Infinite Canvas category, I've dug up this screen cap of the Infinite Canvas application at work.
"Directions" offered free in honor of FCBD

So, the other day it was Online Comics Day. According to the site it was reserved for:
On this date online cartoonists from around the globe poke fun at themselves, tear down the fourth wall a bit more than usual, and generally wax self-referential.
I was planning on stretching out the posting of my Bitpass series Directions, with one installment a week, but, given the point of the date, I couldn't ask for a better time to post them. They seem to follow all of the above guidelines, (for better or worse).
So enjoy it (I'll probably leave it up for a week or so) and Happy (belated) Online Comics Day!
(If youre confused as to what the series is and how to read it, the main page has a vague explanation.)
