Today we continue our flashback to the story of Old George and the cavern. A few people from the nest give their (unsolicited) opinions about whether or not Old George (who was Young George at the time) should be attempting this stunt. Is that a young Fingerfoot talking to him? Why yes it is!
In other news, Freewheel: Volume One got two, count ‘em TWO great reviews from Read About Comics and The Comics Journal! Check ‘em out, won’t you?
Guess what else? Freewheel: Volume One is now officially for sale in the store! Get your copy for $12 or get an Artist Edition for $20! The official release date is May 1st, so you can expect to receive your copy on or after that date if you order this week! I’ve been slipping a new discount code on Twitter every day this week so be sure and check it out to get that day’s discount code! I will be continuing to do this for the rest of the week and each day’s code will be 1% less than the last’s. Yesterday’s was 17% so today’s is 16%, etc. Get the code here and then buy the book here!
ALSO! Courtesy of Ayun Halliday, creator of the zine the East Village Inky, I have received a photo of her daughter (and star of the zine) Inky reading a copy of Freewheel: Volume One on the bus (alongside Ayun’s son Milo, the other star of the zine)! How great is it to see actual kids reading actual comics? I can’t explain it but it always makes me happy!
I want more pictures like this! Send me a photo of you or someone else reading a copy of Freewheel: Volume One and I’ll post it here! Email photos to liz(at)lizbaillie(dot)com! The more creative the photo, the better (but please keep it PG)!
