UPDATE: Here’s the super-snazzy, official press release for the NEW TRADE COLLECTION of my comic, Scarred World…
ORLANDO, FL—November 11th 2005— Most fans of online comics know Derrick Fish’s work from his daily comic strip, Dandy & Company, but an online preview of 2 full issues of his science fiction/fantasy adventure, SCARRED WORLD: The Chronicle of Aegis in 2003 introduced readers everywhere to an exciting new world of cutting edge adventure and fantasy. Now, thanks to Lulu Press., the world’s fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books, Readers can finally hold the entire four issue epic in their hands in blistering full color!
Derrick Fish, writer and artist of the 113 page, full color adventure describes Scarred World:
“Scarred World is a Science Fiction/Fantasy tale centering on the journey, adventures and life of JOSHUA BLOOM.
Joshua Bloom finds his nights plagued by dreams… dreams where he was born the heir to a weapon of near-unimaginable power known as the Aegis, which taps power from a source beyond our universe. In these dreams, he’s also the reluctant leader of an underground resistance movement designed to dethrone the powerful and despotic OBSIDIAN. It’s a burden that has worn heavily upon him, leading him to grow into an angry, bitter young man.
Joshua lives his life in a VERY different world from his dreams. A world where there is on Aegis or Obsidian. OUR world.
But when his dreams become reality, will Joshua be able to accept the burden of saving a Scarred World from a war he didn’t know was his to win?”
The fully collected trade paperback of SCARRED WORLD: The Chronicles of Aegis is available NOW from Lulu Press. for $24.95 plus Shipping.

There’s no happy way to add anything to today’s message. I’ve been delaying this decision for weeks now. In many ways, since July when my marriage came to an end, I’ve been trying really hard to keep my energy and creativity up on a story that has so much to do with my married life.
I’ve been working with Dandy, Bernard and the gang for over 20 years now in one way or another, and I have no doubt that i’ll return to this universe soon enough. But for now, I just don’t have it in me to keep it going just for the sake of doing so. I don’t want the strip or the characters to suffer, and the best way to do that is to step away from it for a while.
I know this is going to ruin some of your days out there, and I can assure you that it is no less depressing for me. I’ll be re-running the strip over from the beginning starting next week and will keep updating new grams and hanging out in the forum to keep all of you Dandyphiles posted on just what I’m up to and where Dandy & Co. is at.
For those of you who want to keep abrest of new “Dandy” stories or other “Dandy” news, i’ve established a thread in the forums where you can do just that. Just sign up for the forums and post in the new thered, and you’ll be automatically updated when there’s Dandy & Co. news!
Thanks again for all of your support over the past 4 years. This has been awesome!
Even though I’m on hiatus for the forseable future, I’m not about to let “Dandy & Company” just go away! Insetad, I’ll be running these classic strips from the beginning of Dandy’s online tour of duty. For those of you new to the strip, these will be fresh adventures and for you veterans of Dandy-land, these strips will be like a walk down memory lane. Either way, I hope you enjoy.
Ahhh, a decent Christmas has now passed. I got the Complete Calvin and Hobbes collection for Christmas myself and spent a few hours reading it, alternating from joy to morbid depression over my own lack of skills like windshield wipers with every strip I read.
That said, this collection is so massive that when I took it home and put it on the passenger seat, my car started beeping over and over again for the “Passenger” to buckle up. Seems the book is SO heavy that my car’s sensors thought it was a PERSON. I actually had to buckle it up to get my car to shut up! Seriously.
