hey gang, if you live in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, Cori and I will be at the MCBA MICROCON this Sunday, April 27th, from 10am - 4pm. come say 'hi,' get some books and a sketch or two!
I finally got around to putting an online preview of Stylish Vittles back up. You can read it HERE and still order the 3-volume set HERE for CHEAP!
Baby's almost here! She's due June 6th - click on over to the ol' LiveJournal for more details.
Today marks the beginning of Chapter 12 - the last chapter in Volume 2! Here comes the end of Katt and Jane's first semester in college. This also marks the return of two updates a week - back to Tuesdays and Fridays! Sweet.
I've been working on a pitch for a non-NB graphic novel over the last few months. Click on the image to go check it out!
As I've noted on the WCN page - I don't intend on finishing the story unless someone wants to publish it. I hope they do because I like the characters. I'm in the final stages of getting the actual pitch together and I should be sending it off to publishers in the next few weeks.
In the meantime, let me know what you think of this. do you like it? do you want to read the rest? where do you think it's going?
Over at the Comics Journal website, Dirk Deppey lays out his 50 best comics of 2007 and Nothing Better joins the list at #27! Awesome.
This year kicks off with a bang, with Nothing Better Vol 1: No Place Like Home getting an Honorable Mention in the Publisher's Weekly Comics Critic's Poll, so if you ever needed a reason to buy the book, there ya go! (hint, hint, hint...)
Also, Cori's latest mini-book, her interpretation of the classic kids song, Little Bunny Foo Foo is finally for sale in our store, so go check it out and then buy it!
Yipes! It's been too long, but I've been busy cranking out Nothing Better pages and working on a pitch for another project. In other news, Cori and I have embarked on a different kind of project - we'll be having a baby next June! So far everything with the baby has gone well and we might be able to find out the sex at our ultrasound after Christmas. Stay tuned for more!
Over at The Onion's AV Club website, editor Tasha Robinson gives a nice review of Nothing Better Volume 1.
She says nice things like, "In particular, his insight into the minds of early college students is spot-on; it's hard to decide whether to sympathize with them or slap them as they grapple with the big questions as though no one has ever considered such things before."
I finally got around to adding this print to our online store:
It's 10x15" printed on archival matte paper for $20. And in case you didn't know, it's an homage to a well-known promotional image for the comic Strangers in Paradise. So if you're a fan of SiP, or NB, or just like pictures of girls in bathrooms, click on over to the STORE and buy, buy, buy!
Volume 1 of Nothing Better is now in stock so if you order it, it'll get shipped out within a week. If you're the kind that frequents comic shops, the book should be in stores within the next week or two. If your shop doesn't have it, tell them to order it!
