Awful Reviews mashes together one-star movie review quotes with theatrical posters, to great comic effect.

These chickens tho!  Proud-ass roosters strutting around are the focus of Cocks, a photography book by Ernest Goh.  Malaysian beauty pageants for chickens.  I’m into it.

Remember when the Adventure Time creator made an epic real-time Choose Your Own Adventure Twitter story?  Pure joy.  Great illustrations.  Absurdity incarnate.

Jurassic Paint.  Not quite a blockbuster, but it’s coming to you this summer.

LA ZINE FEST 2015

Feb 2, 2015

I figured out Zine Fest.

Earlier I was there, working through the crowds, trying to trade my comics for comics.  Comics are good currency at Zine Fests.

Todd of Razorcake found out about Sandy the zine and asked us to represent in the “Old School, New School” panel.  Naturally, yes.  This is him at Razorcake HQ.

Zine Fest was held in HOMENETMEN, a big athletic center.  Busy, yes, it was very, very busy.  Over three thousand people were expected to arrive.  It felt like three thousand.  Parking… parking shall never be spoken of again.

Sandy was being sold at the Women’s Center For Creative Work table, bless them.

The panel was brilliant.  We talked about the benefits of paper zines versus blogs & vice versa.  For Amanda Lee McCarty and I, Sandy’s physical benefits outweigh the digital.  We like having a tangible piece of media that can be held in your hands.   Taken with you on vacation.  Sexing up your coffee table.  Instagram and all the other social portals have their own value.  But Sandy’s content is meant to last longer and mean more than a single blog post.
