So in a mere two months Marianne, me, and 25 of our favorite cartoonist friends made a book that is so damn filled with awesome we needed to cut a hole in the cover so it wouldn't explode!

LUMBERJACKS, A FIELD GUIDE: THE PAST, PRESENT, & FUTURE OF LUMBERJACKARY written by Marianne and myself will debut at SPX this weekend and features the awesome ( Read more... )

The lumberjack book was one of my favorites from SPX. Great job!

Awww! I'm so glad! The pictures seriously make me laugh every single time I open it. Blows my mind we pulled it together in two months! Was one of the most fun creative projects I've done in a very long time. That said, I hate tying beard strings, but luckily Marianne seems to love it (or at least tolerate it more than I do!)

Ah maaaan... I missed the breakfast feed!

It was great meeting you guys at SPX! You should plan something in February, halfway between SPX and MoCCA... come up with a clever acronym like GUMMI or MNO... maybe a mini-indy bar-con! No... Diner-Con! An all-night show! The diner should sell alcohol, be near a subway, and preferably have those mini-jukeboxes at the tables!

Entrance fee is a drawing of a specific theme. (Cats wearing clothes, hipsters in the wilderness, strange toys, pimp my robot...) Paper and sharpies at the door, or bring your own. Flickr each drawing. Tables have paper placemats for extra doodling. Old Gold Key and Harvey comics handed out as party favors. And HATS! The paper army kind that folds flat, that's the name tag.

So awesome hanging out with you and stealing sandwiches from twiggy pageant girls!

Haha that sounds like the best party EVER. All holidays centered around food are always better! I personally need to come up with some holiday so I have an excuse to eat more street meat paddies and not feel quite so guilty for eating something that may look like dogfood but is so so so delicious. Also I want an excuse to eat more brownie sundaes...um...not sure if those two should be combined though...
