NEWS: SPRINGCON! LIVE LUTEFISK SUSHI PODCAST! NEW BOOKS!

From the SPRINGCON flyer they made special for MIX…

Ahoy! Welcome to an update. I assure you I’m working on stuff which I may or may not start posting here, but rest assured there will be…something. For now though… THINGS OF NOTE!!!

SPRINGCON 2012 SAT MAY 19 & SUN MAY 20, 10-5

Once again I’ll be at Springcon. I’m excited this year to not only debut a couple new books, but I’ll also be recording a live LUTEFISK SUSHI PODCAST!  The special live guests include 2-D CLOUD, BRAD McGINTY, and ZANDER CANNON. (There may be more. Who knows. It’s probably going to be a disaster. So come see that. That will be fun.) Speaking of ZANDER CANNON, he is also the latest MN cartoonist to be interviewed by me on THE LUTEFISK SUSHI PODCAST.  It’s a pretty great talk about his nearly 20 year career in the funny books. There are also 19 other great episodes of THE LUTEFISK SUSHI PODCAST up currently, so by all means go check them all out. Lots of splendid talk about makin’ comics.

But back to SPRINGCON…

So in addition to the usual SUPERMARKET VIGILANTE, TOMMY CHICAGO, and MANLY TALES OF COWARDICE books for sale (most of which you can buy anytime day or night via the magic of the internet), I’ll be debuting two new books:

ARNOLD THE SUPER CARDINAL: HOLY CRAP

and THE CASE AGAINST AUTOBIO

    So be sure to come by and pick that stuff up. I should also be sharing a table with BUD BURGY, so also pick up his new MEATFIST AND GRONK book as well as the CONTINUITY GUY books he and I did together.  Hope to see you there!

“HOLY CRAP!”–an Arnold the Super Cardinal adventure–part 5–the end!

So…yep…that’s it.  Kinda silly, kinda dumb.  Pretty much like Frank Miller’s HOLY TERROR itself.

“HOLY CRAP!”–an Arnold the Super Cardinal adventure–part 4

“HOLY CRAP!”–an Arnold the Super Cardinal adventure–part 3

“HOLY CRAP!”–an Arnold the Super Cardinal adventure–part 2

“HOLY CRAP!”–an Arnold the Super Cardinal adventure–part 1

A month or so ago I was at the library and there on the shelves was Frank Miller’s HOLY TERROR–an ultra-right, anti-islamic “Batman” story.  I had my opinions on what the book was probably going to be like and thusly had no plans to read it.  But I figured the leftist socialist library was probably the least ideal circumstances under which Frank Miller would want me to read HOLY TERROR.  So fuck him, I checked it out.  Anyway, it was as hate-filled, close-minded, and awful as I imagined…AND WORSE!!! At the same time in the real world Miller had also recently come out against the OCCUPY movement.  So dude was on my shit list.  And with nothing better to work on I decided to focus my disgust with his reactionary bile, and so…

And that is how you start a Frank Miller parody. More to come…

The Case Against Autobio –The End!!!

There.  I have nothing left to say about myself.  …oh wait…there’s more!

So yeah, click on this Addendum if you want to read that.  In theory there will be a print addition of this at SPRINGCON–May 19th & 20, so if you hate reading things on the internet in a backwards and frustrating manner be sure to pick up a copy there.  Thanks for reading!
