Lulu & Mitzy Coming Soon!

fictionbox — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 17:10:42 +0000

Lulu & Mitzy: Best Laid Plans will be in stores in two weeks! I have been doing some marketing and publicity with the help of the great Andie East and my publisher SLG Publishing, some of which is really, really fantastic. First up, some postcards I picked up from Rocket Postcards here in San Francisco.

Yeah, they fuckin’ pop out! Woot!

Also, I will be promoting and signing the book at the following events:

November 1-2
Alternative Press Expo (APE)
“APE is one of the country’s largest gatherings of the best in indie comics, offering a venue for exhibitors ranging from self-publishers of minicomics to such large publishers as SLG Publishing, Fantagraphics, Drawn and Quarterly, Oni Press, Top Shelf, and many more.” - From the APE website

San Francisco’s Concourse
620 7th Street

Official Book Release Party
Come to where the Tenderloin touches Nob Hill (sounds kinky) where I will have copies of the book available for purchase and, if you want, I can mar it with my scrawly signature. Have a drink and watch me be awkward.

Cafe Royale
800 Post St
San Francisco, CA

SLG Gallery
Did you know SLG Publishing now has a gallery in their storefront? Well, they do and I will be there signing books and some of my “fine” artwork will be on display alongside other SLG artists.

What the Fawkes am I doing?

My arms have been convulsing with muscle spasms lately and have made it real hard to concentrate. Of course, I think of the worse case scenario. My aunt was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis a couple of years ago and I think suddenly I have it. Chances are I have been working out and lifting more than I really should. If that sounds like I am bragging about how macho I am, I have to defer, because I am quite a small, out of shape man. Please look at recent photos of Craig Thomson and Skottie Young for comparison. Those guys register as “don’t fuck with me” while I register as “seriously, impress your friends and female acquaintances by fucking with me. I have nothing to counteract you with. I don’t even have a snappy comeback”.

Anyhoo, I did this piece for my friend Brian. He and I have worked on numerous things together over the years and I have apparently lost much over my several moves since 2004. So, I had to draw him something new.

But something totally cool came to me today. My friend Chad drew Lulu & Mitzy from memory one night while drunk on cognac.

I couldn’t be happier. I honestly think there is nothing more flattering than having someone you admire render your characters (even if they are three sheets to the wind when they do it). Thanks, Chad.
