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.

UPDATES

Lot's happening here:

• New Oily Comics 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.
• I made a very simple Oily Comics site and bought the domain of oilycomics.com. Go there and look. It's B & W.
• CAKE 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.
• 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. Go look! 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.
• Melissa and I saw a white spider eating a fly. No pictures. Sorry.
• We saw Prometheus. We were entertained.
• You can now buy The End of the Fucking World in digital form (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. 

Retrofit Comics

The cat is out of the bag. My friend Brian is embarking on a mission to bring more floppy comics intot he world.  Just like we had in the 90's.  I designed the logo and Retrofit will be publishing a comic by me and 15 other very good cartoonists if all goes according to plan.  If you have 10 dollars in change in your couch or on your dresser please consider giving it to Retrofit so they can get off to a good start.

Question:

Would anyone reading this be interested in purchasing commissioned art or snake oil pages from me?

Trying to think of ways to make some money to make the holidays a little easier.
