More wackiness with the Tony’s Twins! I love these guys, they seem like they’d be fun to hang out with for a little while, until they started to get annoying. Which I’m sure they would get after a while.
Hey, this week I was a guest on the Ink Panthers podcast! We talked about the Punchbuggy Tour, ukueles, bears, and whether I would fight a bear! Pretty humorous listening, you should check it out!
This weekend is the MoCCA Art Fest in NYC and I’ll be there at table E19 hawking my wares with my tablemate, Mike Dawson, who I believe will have some minicomics of his new webcomic, Troop 142, which I’ve been reading online and enjoying very much! I will be selling copies of the new Freewheel: Volume One book, along with some of my more dated fare such as My Brain Hurts volumes one and two, and My Brain Hurts t-shirts. I may be offering some kind of package deal if you buy one of everything on my side of the table, but I haven’t decided yet. I would really like to get rid of those MBH t-shirts if I can, so keep your eyes peeled for some kind of deal involving those at the show.
Keep your eyes out for neon green Freewheel fliers at the show! Each of them are numbered and if you bring one to my table it might just win you a free copy of Freewheel: Volume One! Even if it doesn’t, bringing one of those green fliers to my table will still get you $2 off the Freewheel: Volume One book (reg. $12, an even $10 with the flier)! They’ll most likely be scattered about whatever area free stuff is laid upon, or whatever place my husband decided is a “good spot” for them (which might just be the bathroom… I apologize in advance!).
Here’s a handy map showing you exactly where I’ll be (the previous map I had put up was incorrect):
I’ll also be in a panel on Sunday at 12:45pm. It should be pretty interesting! Here’s the info:
New Genres, New Readers, New Technologies: The World of Comics To Come
Moderated by Calvin Reid (Publishers Weekly); Panelists: Leigh Walton (Top Shelf Comix), Liz Baillie (My Brain Hurts), Craig Yoe (Arf, Secret Identity), Charles Kochman (Abrams ComicArts), and David Steinberger (Comixology). Like the rest of publishing, the landscape of the comics medium is changing in dramatic and not so dramatic ways. Whether it’s the impact of Hollywood and new corporate structures at Marvel and DC; or self-published comics on the web, manga and a new generation of retailers, the medium has never seemed so strong; the variety of works so diverse nor the business and distribution possibilities so intriguing. This panel will highlight the state of the medium from the artful resilience of small press and indie comics publishing to the steady growth of graphic novels in the book industry and the proliferation of new genres and new readers for them.
You should also be sure to stop by my friend MK Reed’s table (which is D-17, by the way) and tell her “April Fool’s!” to get a copy of her new graphic novel Cross Country for only $2! It’s like 124 pages and normally sells for $10 so you should totally do that. I think it’s for the first 15 people only so be sure and hop on that as soon as you get there! The details on this offer can be perused further here.
