No ploblems here! Watch Scottish comedian Limmy and you’ll understand.
Things are gearing along fine for the Webcomix Thing 2010. May need to order some more fridge magnets and badges but I am confident I’ve got enough postcards. I’ve also gathered together all the high resolution pages that I’m going to send off for the book.
I had a bit of a crisis of confidence and spent of most of work on Thursday printing out A5 sized boxes on A4 pages, cutting out the A5 pages and staring at them for long periods of time. Jules then reminded me that Marsh Rocket is printed in A5 (or something near it, its out by a centermeter so no bother) so when I got home I spent a while staring at that too.
In the end, I went along with A5 anyway and so hopefully by the end of the month I will have placed an order for 30 A5 copies of the Hard-Graft book
Any that I fail to sell at the Webcomix Thing will be put on sale here. Price will be at most around £3.50 – £4 inc P&P and I’ll chuck in anything that I have left (fridge magnets, badges, postcards, etc).
One thing I’m stuck on is the whole signing thing. Plenty of artists and/or creators sign their books and include nice sketches and so forth. I however am to drawing what Eddie the Eagle was to the Ski jump so the best I could do would be a signature and some stick figures? Hope thats okay everyone!
Also checked up on the Fan Map and saw thats its roughly doubled in size! Hello to new (or existing) readers Vilem (Spain), Jeremy (Utah, USA), Chantal (Calgary, CA), Valeria (Russia) and Someone Else & Thomas in New South Wales, Australia!
…yup. Sadly its come to this! But relax guys, I won £36 at the pub quiz last night! Go me!
For all those blighted by hypocritical, self-serving and frankly ineffective gambling laws (i.e. many parts of the United States) people in the UK are free to gamble outside of regulated areas so long as the prize money doesn’t top something like £250 ($400?) so we get to have things like Pub quizes and Play Your Cards Right (PYCR for those in the know). Higher or lower? Who cares! Just dump your pound in and take a chance! I won £25 last week, will you. No! Because you guys have puritans for politicians/captains of industry!
Anyway for the next few weeks we’ll have some guest artists coming in and giving their two pence! I’m very excited. Are you? You should be because what I’ve seen so far is absolutely excellent! I myself will be updating regulary with blog posts and so forth.
…ow. Simply…ow.
Alan does the dirty work, Bernadette may be up there getting nappy rash or whatever but its Alan who gets people out of scrapes with nice moves such as that. A good bit of assistance from Bern of course but we all know Alan had it all in hand anyway.
The wallpaper is progressing well, Rose Loughran of Red Moon Rising fame did the colouring and we’re just tweaking exactly to how me and German like it before we unleash it but we are unsure of one thing. Should it be free or a donation only wall? What do you guys think?
EDIT 16:41 GMT: Suffering from a bad case of cold/manflu but managed to update the previous 25 pages to update them to a roughly 900x1300px size. HD if you will. Hope you enjoy the higher quality that comes from seeing more of the comic..
