I’ll Be Attending Webcomics Weekend (March 20-22)

I am very happy to announce that I will be attending the New England Webcomics Weekend in Easthampton, MA from March 20-22. If you haven’t already heard, Webcomics Weekend is a gathering of the webcomic minds so to speak. It’s not really supposed to be a con, but it will feature signings, open studio tours and the chance to hang out with more than 30 of your favorite webcartoonists. Also, it’s completely free to attend.

I will be there to hang out with my fellow cartoonists and Fancy Bastards alike for all 3 days. I want to give very special thanks to FB JustChristine who, after hearing how badly I wanted to attend this event, donated a plane ticket. Without her generosity, this trip certainly wouldn’t have been possible.

I still need to raise a little cash to pay for hotel, transportation and food. If you’d like to help you can make a Donation and put “Webcomics Weekend” in the comment box. I will make sure that money goes to funding my trip and in no way provides food or shelter for my family.

I will also be auctioning off/ selling some original art this week. Check back for an update on that in a day or two.

If you plan to attend, leave a comment. I already know a short list of FB’s that will be there. I think this thing is going to be pretty effing awesome and I would love to share it with you guys.

A New Comic Will Be Up Thursday

I’ve been drawing it all day but there’s no way I’m going to finish by tonight. I was a little too ambitious with this one. Look for it tomorrow mid-morning. There will still be a Friday comic.

Here’s a preview:

Thanks for being patient Fancy Bastards.

New Comic Thursday and Forum Highlights

Since I posted a comic on Tuesday instead of Monday, I want to give it a chance to breathe before moving on. A new HE comic will be up on Thursday. I haven’t decided if Friday’s should be on Friday or during the weekend. We’ll see.

Why not use today as an opportunity to check out the Fancy Bastard Forum. Here’s what’s been going on this week:

Inauguration Comic Tuesday & Follow Up Links

I’m posting Monday’s comic on Tuesday since it’s inauguration day and the comic deals with such things. In the mean time, check out these follow up links to some of the recent HE comics:

Friday’s comic, Xmas Trip, Guest comics and More News

Several things you might be interested in:

  • I’m leaving for a family Xmas road trip to my home town. We’ve been packing and preparing all day so Friday’s comic will probably be up sometime during the day on Friday (assuming I can find internet access). I will probably be away from email, comments and such while I’m out of town, but I’m sure I will still be available on Twitter via the iPhone.
  • Speaking of Twitter, you might want to check out my feed if you are interested in coupons for the HE Store. I’m just sayin’ is all.
  • Avatars are back in the store for a limited time.
  • 3 of your very own Fancy Bastards will be providing guest comics for the week of Xmas. I’ve seen two of them and they are GEEKTASTIC!
