Welcome to Fair Weather Militia Comics.

We are a collective of writers and artists who have all come together to generate our own takes on something we love; namely, graphic forms.

Much of what we do is rooted deeply in the classic comics tradition, but with an eye toward what is possible. And yeah, we're kinda making a lot of it up as we go, so please be patient.

"STRAITS" is but one of what will eventually be several titles available under this banner. In addition, we will feature artists and writers who will be available for other projects. In time, we will have a dedicated website where you will be able to download issues, but for now, we're just trying to get this ship moving.

If you like what you see, tell us. Have a question? Ask it. Want to help? We're all ears.

Again, welcome.

Back in the Saddle.

This is it. The last week of school. Final exams. Final movements. Finally, some sleep.

Soon, I can get back to the business of building this world. Lord knows, Kevin's probably wondering if we're ever going to get this damn thing moving. Well, the answer is yes. After I reload my mojo (probably by taking a couple 'mental-health' days), I will be writing for at least two hours every morning and night to get the first arc scribed. have some very definite ideas that I want to try out, and I have a good feeling about the new approach. I don't want to say too much here (I hate talking about the details of a work-in-progress), but I am more excited now than I was when I first concocted this cockamaimie idea.

In the meantime, here are some answers to some frequently asked questions:

-No, this is not Waterworld. Not even a little bit.

-Yes, this is inspired by Hurricane Katrina. No, this is not some sort of commentary on it.

-The oceans have risen somewhere between 6 and 9 meters; just enough to make a mess of things.

-Generally speaking, North America consists of two Megalopolises; one running through the middle of what used to be the United States, and one that spans Canada. These are utopian, and yet, Aloysius saw fit to leave. Doesn't say much for utopias, does it?

-Incompatible moralities are great fun.

-There is either one, or an infinite number, of immortals.

-Water is wet, the sky is blue; water is blue, the sky is wet.

-Everyone believes they are acting in good faith.

Stay tuned...
