Right on! I’ve been nominated for the Ignatz Award for Outstanding Mini-Comic! Check out the full list of potential brick winners HERE.

Get a copy of Stay Away From Other People HERE! Read a positive review HERE.

Also, if you Google “Stay Away From Other People,” most of the results are about impending pandemics and social phobia. Hurray!

NEW BOOK, NEW BOOK!

- My new comic, I Want You debuted at the San Diego Comic-Con and will be available from Buenaventura Press sometime next month!

It’s gotten some excellent reviews so far from Scott McCloud (HERE) and Ken Parille (HERE).

Conversational Comics, tomorrow!

August 14th, 2009

Come to Union Pool tomorrow (Saturday, August 15) at 2pm and listen to me rack my brains for smart things to say about cartooning!

I’ll be speaking with Austin English (Windy Corner, Christina and Charles) and Dash Shaw (Bottomless Belly Button, Bodyworld) about the relationship between image-making and drawing for comics. How do pictures work differently in comics than they do on gallery walls?

Stick around afterwards to get a book signed, hit the taco truck, and quench your thirst with alcohol!

This panel discussion will be moderated by series curator Bill Kartalopoulos (The New School, Print Magazine). $5 suggested donation. All proceeds go to benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. Union Pool is at 484 Union Avenue in Brooklyn, NY.
