SPX This Weekend

This weekend is SPX! I bet there will be lots of wonderful comics and people there. Specifically, up-and-coming publisher Sparkplug Comic Books and Books will be in attendance with my two comic books and all their other stuff for sale and exposition (see Dylan's Sparkplug blog post for more). If you go to the show check out my Danny Dutch Comic Book--it's nominated for some Ignatz Awards in case you like it and are inclined to vote for stuff like that.

I'm not going to be at this show. But I will imagine myself being there and seeing you there if you are there.

Danny Dutch Weekly Strip #28

Strip #28

This is the last one that'll go into my Danny Dutch comic book, coming soon. I'll probably take a week or two off from drawing the strips to mess around with cover coloring and complicated junk like that. Please keep checking back, though.

Also, congratulations to the other cartoonists who were nominated for the Ignatz award in the Oustanding Online Comic category (Chris Onstad, Jesse Reklaw, Joey Sayers, Tracy White), one of which will win.

Shopping, Prints, BFFs

I took a look in the Family store this past Saturday in L.A. I saw that they have a couple of the litho prints (titled Stamina) that John Hankiewicz made to commemorate our SPX '06 experience. John, Onsmith, Ivan Brunetti and I each did a little drawing and John did the prints, it came out nice!

Up above is the drawing that I contributed, scanned from my sketchbook. The four of us also made a mini-comic for the show that we were handing out free. I'm not sure where you might be able to find one of them now; I don't know if I even have one. But they were neat! Four new drawings apiece, very small size.

Anyway, the print was priced at $20 at Family. They also had more of John's prints for sale, and dozens of other things. Check it out and tell them I sent you. And then tell me that I sent you.

And don't forget to bookmark Hankiewicz's and Onsmith's blogs for a heaping helping of their naive artwork. Hankiewicz is in the new Mome #10; Onsmith is in the new Hotwire Comics #2. If you need help finding Ivan Brunetti comics, you're stupid.

New Mini-Comics for SPX

I won't be there, but my new mini-comic will probably be at SPX in MD, USA. Find it at the Sparkplug Comics table, #F1. It's 24 pages of fun and is called Danny Dutch and the King of Aliens part 1. Sparkplug also had the whole line of David King's Reliable Comics back at Comicon, but may have sold out or discarded them by now.

WHAT

Sorry I haven't posted anything lately; my whole world is an upside-down wreck! I'll get back on it soon, though.

In the meantime, you can buy my four new mini-comics (two of which got a pretty good response at SPX, the other two of which experienced merely so-so reception) on my recently dusted off web store. And also, in the even meaner time, enjoy this picture of me.

NEW COMICS COVERS

Here are photoshop dummies of the covers of my two new mini comic books. I haven't actually printed them yet, so the actual product may look different, but if I have any luck they'll look the same.

Reliable Comics, 7.75 x 6.5, 32pp, $3   preview panels

Vice-President, Shipping and Distribution, Office Machines Company
OR (help me decide!)
Sad Old Man Picaresque Stickman Adventure Comic #1, 5 x 4.5, 16pp, $2

I just noticed the the guys on both covers are wearing the same clothes! I hope these comics don't put people to sleep...

I'll have these at SPX along with the also new Sorry! and Daredevil Pilot Jeff if it all goes according to plan. I also want to do a new Gocco print with art from Vice-President but getting that done remains to be seen...

Reliable Comics

I've been finishing a new mini-comic for debut at SPX in October, so I haven't been putting up as much stuff lately. If you're a regular visitor you might have noticed; if you're not a regular visitor it all looks the same.

Anyway, here's a few panels as a preview.
