Hey Oilers,</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.399999618530273px; line-height: 15.199999809265137px;">
See this lovely machine? That is Oily's new (used) Risograph. I had to plunk down a hefty chunk of change to get it. Last week, the old risograph malfunctioned and it was beyond my know-how to get it back up and running (if anyone wants a GR 2700 for parts get at me). So luckily there was a machine for sale a couple hours away and I jumped on it. Why am I annoying you with this? Well, this really ate into Oily's budget for the rest of the year so, so I have decided to keep the subscription offer open until the end of July. Since I have had to push back printing since my old machine broke, I have more time to let more people in. I didn't hit my goal of 200 subscribers this time out. Currently, we have about 150. If I can get 50 more, I would be a happy camper. Maybe I didn't push this subscription campaign as hard as I could or maybe you all are just sick of Oily. I don't know. So yeah, if you want to subscribe to some cool comic books, now is the time. Get 5 comics in the mail every month. Quality shit. Some names I of cartoonists, I have coming down the pike are: Leslie Stein, Sam Gaskin, Melissa Mendes, me, Michel Fiffe (interview zine), Ben Urkowitz, Darryl Seitchik, and more.</div>

Thanks for reading. I never take your support for granted. </div>

Okay, we are having a thing. I just drew this flier for two nights of comic book parties at <a data-mce-href="http://bergenstreetcomics.com/" href="http://bergenstreetcomics.com/" style="color: #007bff;">Bergen Street Comics</a> in Brooklyn. Thursday, Nov 8th is <a data-mce-href="http://koyamapress.com/" href="http://koyamapress.com/" style="color: #007bff;">Koyama Press</a> with Deforge, Patrick Kyle and Jane Mai. And then on Friday, Nov 9th, <a data-mce-href="http://spacefacebooks.com/" href="http://spacefacebooks.com/" style="color: #007bff;">Spaceface Books</a>/<a data-mce-href="http://oilycomics.com/" href="http://oilycomics.com/" style="color: #007bff;">Oily Comics</a> bring a whole bunch of artists and their new books. I will be debuting my new issue of <a data-mce-href="http://spacefacebooks.com/storeSO8.html" href="http://spacefacebooks.com/storeSO8.html" style="color: #007bff;">Snake Oil (8)</a> published by Space Face and I will be signing people's foreheads. Oily will have a bunch of early releases there with the artists present. Look at the flier. Lots of names.</div>

Bergen St Comics is a great shop. If you haven't been there then make your first time there one of these nights and rub elbows with some sweaty cartoonists.</div>

Hey Oily Fiends,<br />
<br />
Anybody still read this thing? Just want to say I have 5 new fresh Oily Comics ready to go this month.<br />
Very exciting batch. I have so many good comics coming soon. And it isn't too late to get a <a href="http://oilyboutique.bigcartel.com/product/friends-of-oily-comics-subscription-3-months" target="_blank">3 month subscription</a>. Also want to give thanks to <a href="http://www.poseurink.com/" target="_blank">Rachel Dukes</a> for being the very first Oily intern and helping me put these books together. Rachel is a student at The Center for Cartoon Studies and is no stranger to the comic books arts.<br />

<br />
Every year, Melissa and I load up the car with comics, drive to Bethesda, Maryland to sell comics. After that we load whatever is left into the car and drive to my mom's house in Pennsylvania where we see family and friends for a few days. Then we drive back to Massachusetts.<br />
<br />
SPX is sort of the closest thing to a hometown show for me. It was the first show of its kind that I ever attended in 2004 or 5. This year, as you probably know, was quite good. The guest list was golden, the money and alcohol flowed, and the internet became tangible.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4qCdYzfCVsyQQ3dfQv0uH8RIjZxp4GKSLqcDP5wxCFzNDtJ204ZTSDVtoNe5GUGw-xOLt7qLJ9ww_uVWokmmfgr1FBz5OVP7UcRxcACNaCNGDB87mcZtSrbtwNnvEN4i_ObsLcsoncHRc/s1600/20120915_112110.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4qCdYzfCVsyQQ3dfQv0uH8RIjZxp4GKSLqcDP5wxCFzNDtJ204ZTSDVtoNe5GUGw-xOLt7qLJ9ww_uVWokmmfgr1FBz5OVP7UcRxcACNaCNGDB87mcZtSrbtwNnvEN4i_ObsLcsoncHRc/s400/20120915_112110.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
For me, this year felt like a solidifying of Oily Comics as a project and force in my life. In my head I am always arguing whether or not to retire it at the end of the year or to keep it rolling. I think enough people coming up and talking to me about it has made me realize that this thing is a thing. So I've decided to keep this ball rolling and see where it goes. See what colors I can print in. See how long my risograph will run.<br />

<br />
I'm a fan of Tom Spurgeon's list of thoughts about shows so I am going to try that. Here we go.<br />
<br />
• Meeting a handful of FOOCers and seeing membership cards in their wallets. Ridiculous and great<br />
• I've noticed a lessoning of my usual starstruck paralyzation. I talked to people I was previously scared to. Hey, people are nice. Give them a chance.<br />
• Having comics be put into the the Library of Congress and the Dylan Williams collection at OSU.<br />
• North Bethesda is still a scary place. At one point I was standing in a parking lot waiting for my lunch all alone, blackbirds were eating trash, Bad Company was playing out of a car stereo and Francoise Mouly was walking down the Rockville Pike with a drug store bag in her hand.<br />
• Michael DeForge and Patrick Kyle are a like a quiet beavis and butthead. Not sure what this means but I am saying it.<br />
• I drank bourbon all weekend and stayed away from beer. This was a good choice. Beer makes me feel gross inside.<br />
• One guy came up to the table and bought every single Oily comic on the rack. I am pretty sure that there was someone or two or three sending a lot of people my way. I heard it a million times over the 2 days. So thank you to whomever was doing the sending. My money is on Annie Koyama.<br />
• I bumped into Matt Seneca, Chris Mautner and Jog of Comic Books are Burning in Hell and thanked them for talking about me on the air. Those are some nice boys. I can't wait to read Seneca's Daredevil comic.<br />
• Thanks to table mates Melissa Mendes, Alex Kim, Sean Ford, and Joe Lambert for always being perfect.<br />
• Loved talking shop with Rich Tommaso. I hope I can be half the cartoonist this guy is when I grow up.<br />
• I got to listen to Noah Van Sciver gripe which is always a pleasure.<br />
<br />
Alright, I've run out of things to say. I'm tired. Time to crash. Here are a few more pictures from the trip. Stay tuned for new Oily Comics. Will get the September releases up on the store by the end of the week. Shipping subscriber copies tomorrow.<br />

<a href="http://oilycomics.com/" target="_blank">Oily Comics</a> is now entering into a subscription experiment called F.O.O.C. (Friends of Oily Comics). I am offering a subscription to ALL of Oily Comics releases for a limited time. Your choice. $30 for 3 months and $50 for 6 months. I hope this isn't too steep a price but I feel like I will make it worth it. I'm giving out extras like an Oily Comics button, a Friends of Oily Comics membership card designed by <a href="http://kingtrash.com/" target="_blank">Michael DeForge</a>, a hand embroidered "O" patch by <a href="http://mmmendes.com/" target="_blank">Melissa Mendes</a> and whatever else I feel like throwing in there. Consider this sort of a fund drive as well. I really want to keep making and publishing mini comics and possibly some bigger productions down the line.<br />

I recently acquired an old Risograph printer which is already making my like with Oily Comics easier. But that thing can also print color but I need some dough to make that happen. When subscribing you are really helping me get to that next level where I can make some cool stuff with talented young cartoonists as well as some more established ones.<br />

So yeah, in other news. Summer is going well. Really getting used to living way out here in the mountains. It's not so good for my verbal skills, though. I'm working away on TEOTFW and a new comic I hope to have at BCGF in November. Thanks for stopping by.<br />

<li>New <a href="http://oilycomics.com/" target="_blank">Oily Comics</a> are available in the shop by Melissa Mendes, Max de Radigués, Jessica Campbell, and myself. Please order some. We need to buy ice cream and cat food. Just kidding. We are fine.</li>
<li>I made a very simple Oily Comics site and bought the domain of <a href="http://oilycomics.com/">oilycomics.com</a>. Go there and look. It's B & W.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.cakechicago.com/" target="_blank">CAKE</a> is happening next week. We are driving all the way to Chicago. Come buy some comics from us. I'm on a panel as well. Gross.</li>
<li>I went to the Albany Comic Con today and just made a ton of posts on my tumblr about it and all the crap I bought. <a href="http://snakeoily.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Go look</a>! Speaking of which, if you don't follow my tumblr, please do. I feel like I use it a lot more than this blog now. While I don't want to abandon blogger just yet, Tumblr is just so sticky and fun.</li>
<li>Melissa and I saw a white spider eating a fly. No pictures. Sorry.</li>
<li>We saw Prometheus. We were entertained.</li>
<li>You can now buy <i>The End of the Fucking World</i> in <a href="http://oilyboutique.bigcartel.com/category/digital-editions" target="_blank">digital form</a> (PDF, ePub) and read it on your iPad, Android thingy, or your computer. I'm serious. I love technology. If I had an iPad I would be reading comics on it. </li>

We've noticed that ever since we started signing our comics "Charles Forsman" that people are now calling us that as opposed to "Chuck." That is totally fine but I really don't care. If you called me Chuck before then keep doing so. Only my mother and the state of California call me Charles.<br />
<br />
I have a cold as I type this. I really hope I recover by this weekend. Nothing worse then travelling and selling comics while ill. Despite that I have a ton of enthusiasm going for this trip to Toronto. I can't wait to see new and old friends. These shows means lot more to me ever since we moved out to the country. It's pretty amazing to get all these like-minded folks together. Makes me feel okay.<br />
<br />
See you this weekend in Toronto.<br />

New cover time. Got this issue done early since I have Mocca this weekend and TCAF the next. It'll go up for sale after all that probably. But'll have copies with me at the shows. I don't have a table at MoCCA but they should be at the Retrofit table or I'll be walking around. See you soon. Come say hello.</div>

Hello,<br />
<br />
Good morning. I've got comics printing by my feet as I type. Letsee. What's going on around here?<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mezilla/6899362268/" title="page 5 of Lou #2 by mezilla, on Flickr"><img alt="page 5 of Lou #2" height="500" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7227/6899362268_09b64b3f77.jpg" width="386" /></a></div>
<br />
On the <a href="http://oilyboutique.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Oily comics</a> front we have 2 new comics this month from <a href="http://www.mmmendes.com/" target="_blank">Melissa Mendes</a> and myself. Lou #2 and The End of the Fucking World #6. They are ready for your ordering needs in the redesigned <a href="http://oilyboutique.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Oily shop</a>. Wholesale through <a href="http://shenton4sales.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Tony Shenton</a> as always of you are a retailer. Lou #2 is a really solid chunk of comics. I can really feel the world of this family <a href="http://www.mmmendes.com/" target="_blank">Melissa </a>is building. The artwork is getting really dense, balanced and readable. And I totally envy her character design. She put a lot of work into these characters. And my comic is another issue of anxiety and blood and teenagers.<br />
<br />

I've got a new favorite thing to listen to. <a href="http://wfmu.org/playlists/BS" target="_blank">The Best Show on WFMU</a>. I know I am way late to that party but I am there now. Also, I've been listening to <a href="http://wfmu.org/playlists/NP" target="_blank">Night People</a> also on WFMU thanks to super-fan <a href="http://www.kingtrash.com/" target="_blank">Michael DeForge</a> who designed a t-shirt for the show.<br />
<br />
I've been using the <a href="http://snakeoily.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">snakeoily</a> tumblr a lot so if you don't read that please do. Lot's of fun going on over there.<br />
<br />
Oh yeah, I started this simple website called <a href="http://muster-list.com/">Muster-List.com</a>. This thing I made basically explains it.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

Please help me promote this sucker on your blogs or whatever if you are into this sort of thing. I think it is really handy and have gotten a lot of good feedback on it. It's going to take a lot of hours to get a really good list up there. I chip away at it when I can. </div>

I have completed issue 5 of The End of the Fucking World. It is on its wat to several comics shops and available in the <a href="http://oilyboutique.bigcartel.com/">Oily Shop</a> right now. Thanks to everyone that is reading along. Thankfully this comic is still fun for me to make and hasn't become a 'thing.' That was the goal when I did the first issue. I just wanted to play and not worry about it so much. so yeah. This summer is looking to be full of conventions and fun. I am also working on Snake Oil #7. I am about 20 pages deep. That will be published by good 'ol <a href="http://retrofitcomics.com/">Retrofit comics</a> this summer. By y'all.<br />

7 new comics in the <a href="http://oilyboutique.bigcartel.com/">Oily Shop</a> today! Yeah! SEVEN!<br />
We have <a href="http://oilyboutique.bigcartel.com/category/moose">Moose #1-6</a> from Belgium's own <a href="http://www.maxderadigues.com/">Max de Radigués</a>. I've been enjoying the hell out of this comic since Max started it last summer. Max is so good at cartooning teenagers and their awkward lives.<br />
And then we have the debut of <a href="http://www.mmmendes.com/">Melissa Mendes</a>'s follow up to her fantastic <a href="http://www.mmmendes.com/freddy/the-book/">Freddy Stories</a>, <a href="http://oilyboutique.bigcartel.com/product/lou-1">Lou #1</a>. Lou is about a 9 year old tomboy and her kind of messed up family. We are excited for this new ongoing comic from Melissa. She connects to the live of kids like as if she still was one.<br />
We love kids and teenagers at <a href="http://oilyboutique.bigcartel.com/">Oily</a>.<br />

Hello Everybody,<br />
<br />
Well, I gave this mashup thing another shot. I hope you like it. I had a lot of fun doing this one. I was really kind of scared to mimic sure-handed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Davis_(cartoonist)">Jim Davis</a> but I think I mostly got it. My line may be a bit shakier than his but I did my best. I wasn't too sure what Davis inks with. I have my suspicions he may use a brush but I am pretty sure it is a nib. If anyone knows the answer to this, let me know!<br />
<br />
So here's the deal: <b><a href="http://oilyboutique.bigcartel.com/product/e-t-garfield-mash-up-print">E.T. + Garfield</a></b>.<br />

<br />
Both of these things for me bring up my early life. I was born in 1982, a few months after<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.T._the_Extra-Terrestrial"> E.T.</a> was released to theaters. It's one of those movies that conjures an evocative nostalgia in me when I watch it. The clothes, the haircuts, the toys, everything. And it still has the power to make me cry even when I am watching it in 2012 on a little ipod screen, taking notes.<br />
<br />
<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garfield">Garfield</a> </i>for me is all about my older brother Tobey. For many years, Tobey was the gatekeeper to my comics interest. He had the stack of <i>Garfield</i> collections in his room and years later showed me who <i>X-Men</i> and <i>Spider-Man</i> were. <i>Garfield </i>always felt like Tobey's thing. You know how when you are a kid, and a friend or sibling has an interest, and it's quietly understood that that it's their thing? They are the expert on that thing. For me, Tobey had that hold on <i>Garfield</i>. And of course that made me want to get to know <i>Garfield</i> for myself. I have to admit I went through my Garfield-hating days. I jumped on the bandwagon. But that was just a silly decision of youth because I realized later and even more so while studying the strip for this print why it is so popular and considered so special by so many people. It really is a solid strip. To me <i>Garfield</i> is the quintessential 80's newspaper strip. Oh wait. One more <i>Garfield</i> memory. My eldest brother, Zak made a<i> Garfield</i> napkin holder in shop class. He cut the outline of <i>Garfield</i> out of wood, and wood-burned the lines of <i>Garfield</i>'s strips into it. Beautifully done. I loved that thing. I was just so amazed that my brother could do that.<br />
<br />
I thought a lot about what mashup to do next and went through a bunch of ideas; and yes, a lot of people gave me ideas, and I thank you for those. But I think the seeds of this one went to my buddy <a href="http://www.onlyskincomics.com/">Sean Ford</a> who draws the comic <i>Only Skin; </i>he suggested <i>E.T.</i> to create a Spielberg trifecta. And<a href="http://www.mmmendes.com/"> Melissa Mendes</a> suggested the <i>Garfield</i> end of it. After hearing that suggestion it clicked in my head and I knew it could work. She also found this gem in a pile of trash on the side of the road which kept me inspired.<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One more note on the shape of the character's eyes. In present day, Garfield and Jon have oval shaped eyes, but when drawing this poster I wanted the look from the <i>Garfield</i> of the early 80's, when <i>E.T.</i> was made. And during that time, all of the eyes in the strip were circles. I used this collection originally published in another form in 1982 for reference.<br />

Okay. Enough of my blabbering. I know I wanted to say something else but I really can't remember. I will update if I think of it. As always I am offering prints of this little project in the <a href="http://oilyboutique.bigcartel.com/">Oily Shop</a>. Here's the whole print and some closeups. I hope you enjoy it and tell your friends if you like it. </div>

Hello everybody. I somehow managed to pull together another issue of my mini comic, <a href="http://freddycomics.tumblr.com/">The End of the Fucking World</a>. This is part four in which not much happens but as Melissa put it, this is kind of a romantic issue. I hadn't planned that but that's perfect for February. I put Hank Williams on the cover because he is great.<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/mmmendes.com">Melissa Mendes</a> was very nice to do a special drawing for this issue. It's the pretty one above of the kids dancing. Melissa has been posting tons of her Freddy trips on her <a href="http://freddycomics.tumblr.com/">tumblr lately</a>. Follow them. Feel like a kid.<br />
These comics are only a dollor. You can order them <a href="http://oilyboutique.bigcartel.com/category/teotfw">from me</a> or get them at comic book stores that carry this sort of thing like Atomic books, Jim Hanleys, Bergen St Comics, Comix Experience, Tate's Comics, Fantastic Comics, Chicago Comics, Dr. Comics and Mr. Games, Quimby's and probably some others.<br />
If you own a shop and would like to carry these comics then contact my whole sale guy <a href="http://shenton4sales.tumblr.com/">Tony Shenton</a>.<br />
In other news, my hand are freezing.<br />
