GR2700 R.I.P.

Hey Oilers,

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.

Thanks for reading. I never take your support for granted.

All I Can Muster

Hello,

Good morning. I've got comics printing by my feet as I type. Letsee. What's going on around here?

On the Oily comics front we have 2 new comics this month from Melissa Mendes and myself. Lou #2 and The End of the Fucking World #6. They are ready for your ordering needs in the redesigned Oily shop. Wholesale through Tony Shenton 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 Melissa 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.

I've got a new favorite thing to listen to. The Best Show on WFMU.  I know I am way late to that party but I am there now.  Also, I've been listening to Night People also on WFMU thanks to super-fan Michael DeForge who designed a t-shirt for the show.

I've been using the snakeoily tumblr a lot so if you don't read that please do. Lot's of fun going on over there.

Oh yeah, I started this simple website called Muster-List.com. This thing I made basically explains it.

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. 

thanks for the link

hey guys.  so umm.  this weekend I'll be in brooklyn at this new thing going on.  It's free and everyone must know that it's free.  it's how all future conventions will be.  free free free!

I am surprisingly(to me) going to have snake oil 5 there.  It's will be called Wolf and have a red cover and will be a little smaller in format to the last 4 snake oils.  I have no real reason other than i had some paper i wanted to use that was smaller.  this is a one-and-done story about a dude named wolf.  He works at sears and loves husker du. 20 pages. black and gray. screen-printed cover. it made melissa cry. i hope it doesn't make you cry.  I'll let you know when its available to order.  here is a page of it for you to see with our eyeballs.



Sean has a much more comprehensive post about this weekend than I do: SEAN

Also, I am notable and they linked to the oily boutique.  Pretty cool!
