So, that was probably the best SPX ever.  Thank you to everyone who congratulated me over the weekend.   There are so many cartoonists more deserving.  All this makes me want to draw.  so that's what I am going to do.

I snagged this cover image(sorry/thanks fantagraphics) of the issue that I along with others graduated CCSers are appearing in.  I got to see it over the weekend at the fantagraphics booth.  It was super exciting to see us all in there.  GOSH!

So I figured I'd make an official post about this. Snake Oil has been nominated in 3(!?) categories for the 2008 Ignatz Awards.  They are Promising New Talent, Outstanding Series,  and Outstanding Comic.  The ceremony happens saturday night at the Small Press Expo in Bethesda, MD.  I will be at the show tabling with my talented mates: Alex Kim(Wall City, Xeric), Sean Ford(Only Skin), and half of Joe Lambert(Turtle Keep it Steady).  We'll be right next to our friends at One Percent Press(as usual) at table G1.  We are pretty close to the main entrance, which is awesome!  I will have Snake Oil 1 and 2 for sale as well as a new mini(i hope)  I'll probably have some prints too.  Of course, we'll have copies of our anthology SUNDAYS 2 and a snazzy screenprinted bag if you buy one.

Remember kitty kats!  You can buy Snake Oil at the webstore on your right or in the real world at the following fine establishments:  Jim Hanley's Universe, Forbidden Planet, Chicago Comics, Quimby's, Comic Relief, Atomic Books, Heroes Are Hard To Find.
