The home for everything Smash!
Kyle and I are brothers, we've made no secret of that. And the most common question we get is, "How do you and your brother work together on SMASH? Have you always worked together on projects?" This three-page comic (first published on the Charlotte's Library blog) is the best answer we can offer. Enjoy!

Here's the inked version of Kyle's sketch:
To all our friends, fans, and readers — thanks for your support in helping to make 2011 such a wonderful year. Here's hoping for an even better 2012 for us all! (Click the image for a larger view!)
We're still on hiatus — poor Kyle is chained to his drawing table, working feverishly to complete the final art for the Candlewick book — but we couldn't let the season zoom past without wishing our readers a safe and happy holiday! The Ghost of Christmas Past dropped off these holiday Smashes of old: the first from 2009, and the second from way back in 2007. And to all a good night!
Despite the not-very-scary style of Smash (well, with some exceptions), Kyle and I are full-on Halloween fanatics! Ever since we were kids, we both light up like jack-o-lanterns as soon as October rears its head and the leaves start to change colors. In honor of our favorite holiday, month, and season, here was Kyle's submission to last year's "31 Days of Halloween" for The Beat comics blog:

Yes, that's Smash protecting Linus from... the Great Pumpkin's minions, perhaps? I can't imagine any creature named the Great Pumpkin has motives that aren't truly sinister.
Kyle's so busy with new and revised artwork for the Candlewick book — drawing like mad to make our December deadline — that I'm not sure he'll have the time or energy for a new picture this year. Still, I'll keep trying to persuade him, and maybe we can have something in time for trick-or-treating.
In the meantime, share your favorite Halloween memories or traditions below — we'd love to hear 'em!
