A DRAWING (the giveaway kind, not the "I drew a picture" kind)

Added Value Books / Meeting Comics email newsletter

MEETING COMICS

DRAWING

On Monday, May 5, I will be conducting a drawing. I will send one random subscriber to this email newsletter a set of both my books, MEETING COMICS, and CLOCKING IN AND SELLING OUT, which collect the first twelve issues of Meeting Comics.

If the winner of the drawing is in the US, I’ll do a drawing in a copy of a print copy of each book and will cover the shipping. If the winner is outside the US, I’ll send them digital copies of the books unless they want to pay for the shipping, in which case I’ll send the books with drawings in them wherever they want.

So: Tell your friends about signing up for the newsletter if you’re cool, or don’t tell them if you want a better shot at winning. Up to you! I’m not your boss!

NEXT SATURDAY

flier for the artist and vendor marker at Acme Comics Downtown's Free Comic Book Day on Friday, May 3

Hey folks! Next Saturday, May 3, I will be at:

ACME COMICS FREE COMIC BOOK DAY BLOCK PARTY: Saturday, May 3, Acme Comics Downtown, Greensboro, NC. Even thought it’s Free Comic Book Day, I’ll be selling stuff. What a rebel I am! I think this should be fun. More details this week? I’m guessing there will be more info here soon:

CHBORO

Yesterday (Sunday) I exhibited at Chboro Zine Fest in Carrboro, NC. It was outdoors and windy, but I still had a fun time. I have a new spinner for stickers and minizines and it did great, even with the wind.

OK!

I hope to see some of you soon, and I hope to have finished a new page of NO RACCOONS IN HELL SOONER. Meanwhile, here is a picture I took five years ago of my cat Eensy Weensy freaking out with some yams.

Take care!

Thanks for reading!
