Standard Operating Procedure…
We now continue Bob’s adventures (misadventures) on his first day of work at Footle. I bet you thought he’d never make it this far, did you?
Today’s a very special day, and I’m giving readers a very special deal. If you order Rebootus Maximus between 12:01AM EST and 11:59PM EST today (Sept 1st), I’ll include penciled art from my sketchbook.
It could be a panel from a PC Weenies comic strip or it could be three. But it will be an original piece of penciled art that I drew and used to make the strip. It’s a special keepsake from me to you. Make sure to indicate “original sketch” in the Paypal comments field when you order.
Order your book, before I regret my decision. :)
(…and it makes a great early holiday gift, too!)

P.S. I’m continuing my way through the backlog of pre-orders. Thank you for your patience!
P.P.S: Here’s what the original looked like (I changed panel 3 and 4 to improve the layout):

September 1, 2009 at 8:39 amThanks for showing us alternate versions/behind the scenes. But, not being in the industry, I don’t understand how this “improves the layout.” Can you elaborate? Thanks!

September 1, 2009 at 9:18 amPanel 3 and Panel 4 from the alternate version show mid shots, and there’s a lot of extra space around the characters. I wanted to break the shots up for the last two panels by making them close-ups, so we can clearly see Bob’s reaction.

I agree, I dig the “alternate” strip, it’s interesting to see an artist’s “mistakes”, not that it looks terrible by any means, but it’s cool to see how you improved it.
