My mini-comic has just been nominated for a Kukoc Award, and I’m honored beyond belief (and not entirely sure this isn’t an April Fool’s gag).
The 2009 Maisie Kukoc Award rewards a self-publisher of small-press, hand-made comics (sometimes called “mini-comics”), on the basis of merit and financial need. It will be awarded at Guapo Comics and Coffee on Friday, April 17th, 2009, to coincide with the Stumptown Comics Fest in Portland, OR.
If you read mini-comics and have an opinion, you can vote!
1. email reklaw@slowwave.com
2. ask for a ballot
3. vote sometime before April 16
(You can also pick up a copy of Stay Away From Other People here)

Read more about it here, order it from Amazon.

I’ve got an interview up on Austin English’s blog, 20 Questions with Cartoonists.
I love reading the other interviews on there…learning different artists’ daily routines (draw ALL THE TIME, NEVER STOP) and the types of pens they like to use (PENTEL POCKET BRUSH)…

Check out the bizarre and beautiful interpretations on Covered, including my own monstrosity:

My comics page now has functional shopping cart buttons! If you’ve come this far, it must be because you want to spend some money.

Here’s what’s up:
- Working on a little comic book for Buenaventura Press, it is aaaalmost done…
- Moving out of my apartment in Los Angeles. The plan is to spend awhile in the Bay Area, then fly or drive to NY in Spring. Because…why not?
Time to whitewash for the next tenant…
- The “Comics” page of my website should be updated in a couple of weeks, with options to purchase books and such. Thank gawd I have the help of the magnificently talented Jessica Lundby.
- In the meantime, you can see comics on my Flickr set, and buy stuff from Buenaventura Press or me (lobsterrags@yahoo.com).
- “Stay Away From Other People” is on Same Hat, Same Hat’s Best of 2008 List! Judging by the awesomeness of “Tokyo Zombie” (which they translated + edited), it’s best not to question these people.
- Now here’s something to keep you busy:

This show is going to be EPIC. You can find me drowning in a sea of violently purling yarn, in close proximity to shipmates Johnny Ryan and Steven Weissman.
Together, we are the BLUE WHALE ULTRA HEAVY ARMORED FIERCE ASSAULT ANNIHILATION KNIGHT CORP (B.W.U.H.A.F.A.A.K.C.), and will have many fine comics, drawings, and prints for sale. Look no further for your holiday gift-buying spree.
