Big news! The second Billy the Pop book collection is now here! It's called Just Us and the Elements and it contains all of the Billy strips posted from mid-March 2015 through December 2016. Additionally, I made several watercolor illustrations for the main storylines that take place throughout the book. These storylines are some of my favorites in the run of this strip, such as:
- Harley takes the gang fishing
- Agent Billy at the pool
- The return of Thomas
- Billy and Pete's nature adventure
- Blunders at the beach
Here's a taste of what the book looks like!
I'm quite satisfied with how it came out; the colors look great in print, and it's nice to have a physical collection of these strips. When putting this book together, I was surprised at how many strips I had completely forgotten about drawing, and it was an interesting experience to see the art progress and (I like to think) improve over the nearly-2-year timespan of strips.
The book is available in paperback for $20 on Amazon, and will soon be on Kindle as well. If you are interested in supporting the strip, want to own these strips in physical form, or just need a gift for a nephew who likes comics, I would really appreciate any purchases this book gets. I had a lot of fun compiling this book, and drawing the strips inside of it. Thanks, guys!

Recently I've been interested in the process of detective work and the means by which crimes get solved, so I thought I'd have Pete provide a (slightly simplified) take on that.
The second Billy book is almost here! Just a few more days!
I like how the first panel turned out. Forests are always the most time-consuming, but most rewarding, thing to draw.
Also, work on the second Billy book is in its final stages! It should be available within the next week or two, assuming the proofs look right.
For every bug you see in your house, there are several hundred you don't see. Just think about that.
I liked drawing all those jars, also.
I'm more on the ignorant side when it comes to these things. Heck, they very well could be preparing those moon gem mining operations and I would have no idea.
