Ken and I collaborated on a comic that is incorporated into the foldout poster/jacket of the book.

Zombie chase

Here are some sketches for a section cut from the next book. I don't want to say too much about the project right now but the context for this comic is that it follows a discussion of why fairy tales have some gruesome elements in them and how that type of material may function positively in a child's development. OR how maybe it's just fun to be scared.

Final Cover for Take What You Can Carry

Still working out the back copy type but the cover is approved!
