Back in Print, Back in Action

Whew. My last blog entry was May 8th. May. Not one of my favorite months. Everything kinda tends to blow up in May. Anyway, getting my crap back in gear, and getting ready to rock it like I own throughout the rest of summer.

In the good news department, SDF: Crumpled Planet my very firstest issue of SDF ever is now back in print. If you're reading this, you've probably already got a copy, but if you don't, then just head on over to www.torcpress.com/comicshop.html and order up a copy. Besides the fact that it features the first SDF appearances of Cactus Joe, Pengy, Walt & Sped, Broken Tea Cup, aliceislost, and Iggy Iguana, the book also has a guy getting his head split. Vertically. Upward. Believe me, I winced while drawing it.

ULTRA de Mayo

WOO! Whatta weekend. We didn't just celebrate Cinco de Mayo, we got in Quatro and Seis as well!

On Quatro de Mayo, Fitch and I jumped into his truck and rolled to Effingham. We met up with Boolah and his lovely fiance Jamie and ate some pizza. We thought about scoring some Mexican, but we all kinda knew we were gonna get plenty of spicy Mexican food before the weekend was up. After we ate we hit the bowling alley. My first game I bowled a freakin' 114, which is insanely high for me. Unfortunately, after that I got really, really tired and the sucky, sucky music started to suck away my will to live, so my second game I bowled a humiliating 43. That's right. 43. After that, we, thankfully (I was about to fall asleep on my feet), called it a night.

On Cinco de Mayo, got up early and rolled to Evansville, IN to my favorite comic shop, Comic Quest, for Free Comic Book Day. Set up my table, handed out freebies, and even managed to make a few sales. Thanks to everyone that bought something offa me. Man, they don't screw around on Free Comic Book Day at Comic Quest. Besides having a HUMONGOUS stack of Free Comics to hand out, they also had Raffles, Door Prizes, Heroclix Demos, and people dressed up as Spiderman and various Star Wars characters. It was awesome. Anyway, I checked out at around 3, bought some stuff (sure it's Free Comic Book Day, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't support your local shop by buying some stuff), and rolled back home to Fitch's where the lot of us (Bro, Boolah, Jamie, Brooks, Fitch, and myself) ate tacos (thanks Fitch!) and watched "Once Upon a Time in Mexico". Love that flick.

Finally, on Seis de Mayo I invited the aforementioned usual suspects over to my place for Cactus Chicken Tacos, Quesodillas, and a night of Lucha Libre. A good time was had by most. Yay for food!

FCBD in EV,IN

The TORC Press Whirlwind Tour '07 finally comes to a close this weekend, as I'll be in Evansville for Free Comic Book Day 2007 on Saturday, May 5, 2007 at my Most Favorite Comic Shop ever Comic Quest. I'll be selling some stuff, giving away some free stuff, and maybe even doing some sketches if anyone asks for em. Should be fun. I have no idea when I'm gonna get there, nor am I entirely sure when it ends, but I'll try to be there as soon as possible and stay until it ends, so there's that.

After this I'm on break (tour wise) until August. Whew!
