As soon as I finished drawing this, Mike turns to me and goes “Why’d you draw Nick? Greg is more our kind of guy!” And then I was all, “Um, Archie’s a bigger geek than Greg.” And then we got into a big discussion about who’s geekier… But, ultimately, Greg would be on our case too. Felt you guys should know that.

A special Thursday update, just for you!

Seriously, who thinks that? Ever.

Then we got home and all of our cartridges were bad except for Mario Brothers 2.

The joke should have ended in panel 4; but I couldn’t help but tell the whole story.

Comics for July 29, 2008 - 07/29/2008

Comics for July 22, 2008 - 07/22/2008

I just wanted to send out a heads up to everyone that we’ll be exhibiting at Comic Con International next week. (July 23-27.) We’ll be at table O10 in Small Press on the back side of the Convention Center. We’ll be the teal and lime green booth.

Along with all of our older t-shirts and buttons, we’re also debuting a lot of new merch:

We’re also going to have the first printed issue of Intentionally Left Blank with us. And spend some time promoting our upcoming anthology Side B:

(Submissions are still open until December 31st - so don’t forget to submit!)

In case you are going to be at the convention and feel like stopping by to get some merch, I made up a coupon for all our faithful readers and friends:

Download and print that; present it at the table on any of the days of the convention and get a few dollars off your purchase. Other than that, I’m doing a lot of comic work behind the scenes. Keeping Intentionally Left Blank updating regularly, and trying to catch up on Primary so we can finally get the story moving. I’m also working on two new titles behind the scenes; but you’ll learn more about those around APE in November.

Until then!

…we never follow through with it though!

The ever-amazing Kate Beaton posed a challenge to her readers on Sunday, asking that they all draw comics of themselves talking with their childhood self. (Much like several of her awesome comics.) I was pretty amused by the comic I drew in response to said challenge, and thought you might like to read it. I think it’s pretty telling.

Oh, and for those of you wishing to “be in the know” this is what most of my comics look like before I actually draw them. This my version of “thumbnailing”. I usually go back and “redraw” them, so that they look all “glorious” and such; but Mike and I agreed this was pretty kick-ass and should stay untouched. I’m getting out of hands with the needless “apostrophes” (haha) so I’m calling it quits before I make a bigger ass of myself. The end.
