Hey gang. Just thought I'd let whoever's out there reading this know that we've had a slight delay at the printers and Ragmop probably won't ship until around November 8, 2006. So what else is new?

Well, folks it's true. All 464 pages of Ragmop is at the printers as I write. They are working to ship the book Oct. 23-25 which could put it on sale as early as Wed. Nov 1 (that is if Diamond is prompt with its distribution). So knock on wood and keep your fingers crossed. The end is Nigh! The book is coming and it's beautiful, thanks to Jon Adams and his design work. So mark it down on your calanders. The wait is over. Who gets the o-ring? Who lives? Who dies? You'll find out soon. Send your laughter out into the universe. God knows we need it.

Writer, Director, Actor, Cartoonist, Publisher, Storyboard Artist, Movie Extra… Who is Rob Walton? Hailing from the frozen tundra of East Toronto, I’ve been working in the Animation Biz since 1991 when I joined Nelvana’s design department to do my part in bringing fifty-two episodes of Beetlejuice to television. In 1994 I began storyboarding full time. I became an Assistant Director in 1997 and made the move to Supervising Director in 2000 on Nelvana’s “Committed” starring Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara. As well as my work in animation, I have written and drawn several comic book series, most notably, “The Devil’s Hammer” a Grendel Tale for Dark Horse in 1993, and my own self-published political and social satire, “Ragmop,” from 1995-1997 for which I earned two Eisner Award Nominations. I am currently re-editing and updating Ragmop as a single volume, 350 page graphic novel for publication in October of 2006. I have written four un-produced screenplays, two un-produced television pilots for animation, one novel in progress, and countless wayward comic book scripts for Marvel and DC. Needless to say, I take rejection well.
