Touch me. Touch me like you didn't touch me last night.

Comic Book People:

Am I the only person who's stopped reading POWERS and DMZ because they've really been boring the piss out of me?

I mean, yeah, I know that COUNTDOWN sucks ass and readership drops with EVERY WEEKLY ISSUE, but what about these "big name" comics?

More comic stuff later.

Damn it.

Mike Wieringo died.



Suck.

I want to design a Sir Reginald shirt . Maybe put some info on it about how to reach him/me.

I also want to get back on some artists about pitching a comic.

I wonder if man_size or zegas can tell me what Negative Burn accepts as submissions...

Hmmm...

In addition, I've got benchilada.net and sirreginald.org, but I've still not done anything with either of them.

I should really figure out how interwebs sites work.

yowzer tried to help me once, but I'm...well, see my icon.

Sir Reginald would like you to know something:

"I'm not upset that this bastard is going to be in a comic book.
That's like being jealous of somebody because they won the Special Olympics."



Sir Reginald and atomic_robo have hung out a few times.

Neither of them care to admit it in public, though.

Thank you, German language, for the cheap joke.

My office is undergoing changes. Not, like, puberty changes, but good ones nonetheless.

In addition to being the day I violated zegas's basic human rights, today was...

NEW COMIC DAY!!!



*sigh* Sweet, sweet Plastic Man figure...

As of right now, I have two-and-a-half people working on Sir Reginald adaptations, or on new Sir Reg works that I've written specifically for them.

(The half is you, Chuck D. You still in?)

Currently I have two people working on five-page new stories, and 1/2 working on an adaptation.

I'd like to get more.

Ultimately, the goal is to collect them as an anthology, or a short-series of individual issues. If you're an up-and-coming artist, a draw-for-fun person, or anything in-between or even outside of those descriptions, and you're interested in either converting a pre-written Sir Reg story into a few pages of comic, or whether you'd like a new one written for you, please let me know.

I'm ridiculously excited about this possibility.
Ask any and all questions you may have

Who is wondering who he loaned THE QUITTER to...

From Friday night through Sunday evening, duosiceprincess (AKA: The ComiCutie(tm)) and I rummaged through 21 years of comix, most of which were mine, but several hundred of which have been given to me by the likes of Michael Hart whenever he or others find them at garage sales.

I've done a little purging before, but never like this. Sara mainly sat on the couch and read The Historian.

Movies Watched: Mr.Vampire, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, Strange Days, and Enter the Dragon
Meals Eaten: Lai Lai Chinese (restaurant), El Toro Mexican (restaurant), Garcia's pizza (restaurant), cereal (home), pasta (home), Mirabelle pastries (home).
Total Glasses Bushmill's drunk: ~3
Total Raspberry Smirnoff Ices drunk: 12
Gross Longboxes Purged from My Collection: ~5 1/2
Total Longboxes "Gotten Rid of" (probably to be given to charity): ~4
Total Longboxes duosiceprincess took as payment: ~1 1/2

Ummm...I'm sure there are other stats, like how much sleep and how many times we went "Damn, is it really that late?!" but that's all I can think of just this second.

Bonus points for spotting / identifying / mocking comics seen in the pictures. There's some interesting stuff if you look closely. Go here if you want to be able to click the pics for bigger versions.

And now...

( Photographic Evidence. Lots of it. Seriously. )
Now all of my comics are sorted and alphabetized. Next step? Bagging and boarding all the ones that still need it. (Many comics I knew I would be keeping are already bagged and boarded in the longboxes by the fireplace. They will be transfered to shortboxes.).

ULTIMATE CONCLUSION: Sometimes...life is full of awesome.
