Making it after all
I only put this here because I only get a picture taken of me about once a year and even then I look fat or retarded or just got out of bed and here’s one I’m not ashamed of. It’s one Danny Hellman took at the Brooklyn Book Fair last Sunday. The idea is supposed…

Magic Whistle 13: Proof it exists
It was scheduled to come out three weeks ago but it’s obviously low priority for Diamond Comics. I’ve gotten reports that it is in fact in stores. This picture from the staff of Staffars Serier in Stockholm shows that it has hit stores. The thirteenth issue of Magic Whistle was by far the biggest seller…

SPX events, furthur
I know I keep talking about the Small Press Expo (It’ll be over this weekend. I’ll stop. I promise. I’ll talk about CAB instead.) but I had to let you know again about these two events. The Carousel reading will be about 50% different from the one at Atomic Books, so there’s not as much…

SPXplosion

A couple weeks ago I was sat down with Robin McConnell for his Ink Studs radio podcast, which has featured practically everyone that’s ever worked in comics.…

SPX 2013
I don’t even know where to start. There are so many exhibitors and so many guests. Even more than on this poster, too many to mention. Name any cartoonist you can think of and there’s a 75% chance they’ll be there. I’ll just direct you to the Small Press Expo web page for you to…

Magic Whistle # 14-sneak peek
The thirteenth issue’s not even out yet and I’m already working on the fourteenth issue. Here’s a sneak preview of a story I just did. The whole issue’s not gonna be all “loose” like this, I just tried doing a finished version and couldn’t get the spontaneity of the thumbnails. Plus it breaks the monotony…
