Oh, hey, also I'm finally getting around to auctioning my BotCon 2010 bagged set!  It comes in a bag, and is bagged.  In the bag are five toys!  Even the toys are individually bagged.  There's a lot of baggage!

So if you want Pyro or Clench or Streetwise or Sky-Byte or Breakdown, you might want to check it out.  I was going to single out one of them as one you REALLY have to have, but that's basically all of them, because they're fantastic.  Well, maybe not Streetwise.  I mean, sure, he's Shaft, but he's not nearly as pretty as the others.

They are so pretty.

You should bid on them.

The official G.I.Joe Convention is this weekend in Providence, Rhode Island.  Check out their awesome at-show exclusives.  CHECK OUT THAT FRIGGIN' AWESOME RED SHADOWS CAR.  Is that an Indiana Jones mold?  Maybe?  That's genius.  It's genius and it's beautiful and I wish I thought I could get away with buying one without needing any Red Shadows.  And I really don't need any Red Shadows.

I'm determined to get two books out this year.  Shortpacked! Book 3 is the preorder everyone should be familiar with by now, but Roomies! Book 2 better be out by the end of this year, too!  It's faaarr too soon to solicit it, since SP!B3 is still in production, but not too soon to finish putting it together.  An idea for the cover hit me last night, and no sooner than this afternoon I had it completed to my satisfaction.

Take it in.

Also, I was sorely in need of some freebies to hand out at C2E2, so I designed and ordered some double-sided bookmarks.  There's a strip on each side - my recent Skeletor/Luthor team-up strip for ToyNewsI seemed suitable, and of course you gotta have Batman DDR on there, so I cropped it down into the requisite number of panels to fit.  I'll be handing these out at Penguicon this weekend.  A huge purpose of convention-attending I've been neglecting is the romancing of new readers.  This'll help me fix that.  (If you're already a reader, you're still, of course, allowed to grab one.)

Since the new site went live, one of its most awesome features is the ability to order prints of individual strips simply by clicking the $ icon below each strip.  Ha ha ha, so obviously the first one that got bought was Mike's freaky smile creep show.  This is great, because I had to take this file into the print shop and have them give me strange looks as it comes up on the screen and again out of the printer.  How much is my dignity worth?  Apparently $10 and shipping.

In the name of science, I offer my boobs.

Does God also care about drawn boobies, or just real ones?  Let's find out.

FTP for the old site still won't let me in.  Grargh. So have Joyce and Walky! here again.

So, like, the old FTP is still kickin' me out and not letting me login, so here's last Saturday's Joyce and Walky!, presented as a blog post for you, easy-as-you-please.



I'm always overjoyed when folks tell me at conventions that they've been reading since Roomies! or It's Walky!.  Those characters are all still very dear to me, and I always enjoy revisiting them when you come to me and ask me to draw them.  I had a few long-time readers again at C2E2 last weekend, and I thank you for not forgetting them.
