The comic will be late today. I’ve been busting my balls putting together all my books for SPX, so inkdick has not been at the forefront of my mind recently. But it will be up later tonight, hopefully.

Also tomorrow will be the last new inkdick you get until next Tuesday or Wednesday. I obviously won’t be able to post up comics while up at SPX and I’ll be staying up there for a day or two tying up loose ends and giving a lecture to my old high school. But once I get back I’ll post up all the comics from the weekend and get back to the normal posting schedule. I’ll make an SPX post later tonight about all the awesome books to can buy from me if you happen to be in Bethesda this weekend.

Ok, so obviously you have noticed that I didn’t get today’s (well, yesterday’s) strip up. The final prep for SPX took longer than expected. Much longer. And since I will be gone for the weekend and part of the week, no new inkdicks until Wednesday. After that, we’ll be back on our regular schedule.

Also, I’m behind on getting the iDonate original artwork done, so if you said you’d be at SPX and would pick up your art there in person, sorry, it’s not ready yet. Don’t worry, I’ll mail you your art when it’s done (with something extra thrown in maybe as a way of saying sorry for the delay). It’ll be mailed to you before Thanksgiving, I swear.

Now on to more SPX news. Here is what you can expect to see (and buy) from me this year at SPX:

Inkdick #1 and #2 ($2 each). Not only can you read the first two and a half months of inkdick off-line, but you can sport a pretty bitchin’ mustache with them.

Inkdick #3 ($2). Look how clever I am, combing the top half of my cartoon-self face with the bottom half of my real-life face. Actually, this is not clever at all. But the comic itself is good.

Inkdick #4 ($2) Hot of the presses. Literally. I just got done making them 30 minutes ago.

Omnology ($1) and Boxcar Joe ($4) Omnology is a dirty, dirty comic. Boxcar Joe comes in a neat little slipcase that takes forever to make, but the end result is worth it.

Zak & Sara ($3) Don’t tell Ben Folds, he’ll sue me. The comic is help shut by a flap in the back with VELCRO. I repeat: VELCRO. How cool is that?

8 Pages of Monsters Doing Everyday Things (either $0.50 or $0.75, still haven’t decided) A one-sided page no-staple color comic. Amy colored it and did an kick-ass job. This is an SPX 2008 exclusive, so once it’s sold out, it’s sold out forEVER.

Grunge Lobster #2 ($1) and Rocket Tonic Quarterly #3 ($0.75) AKA all the old shit. These two titles are soon to be retired and go out of print, so pick up the last copies while you still can if you’d like to remember Retro Pranas.

I am sharing a table with Falynn Koch and Kevin Singles at table B-16. Here is a map:

A very sweet location, no? We’ll be between Drew & Eleanor and Brian Fukushima. Not a bad place to be. Not a bad place to be at all.

So if you are in the Bethesda, Maryland area come out this weekend to SPX, and if you will be there already, stop by the table and say hello. I’m not THAT socially awkward, I swear.

Hello from Woodbridge, VA, home of my cruddy high school years.

SPX was a fucking BLAST (I’ll post a full write-up sometime later this week). But right now I’m still in Northern Virginia. The plan was to come home to Savannah Tuesday night, finish up all my comics from the weekend, and post them up on Wednesday.

Well, there now might be a slight change of plans. See, the plan was to stay up here an extra day and a half to tie up loose ends and take my brother’s car back down to Savannah while he’s in Iraq for a year and also to vote early in VA since I’ll be down in GA for election day. Well, apparently either my brother or father let the state inspection on the car expire back in June and the state inspector left the shop early in the afternoon. So now I have to wait for that to be done later this morning. I wanted to leave this morning, but it’s starting to look like I won’t get out of here until the afternoon at the earliest. Might even be early Wednesday morning if things go really bad.

So I won’t be getting back to Savannah until really late Tuesday at the earliest, so I’ll have not a lot of time to finish  all the comics. So I will either post half the comics up Wednesday and the rest up Thursday or post them all up on Thursday, depending when I get back.

Sorry about this, sometime life takes over fucks up all your plans.

But hey, at least now I have a car, right?

In other news: I am on my dad’s computer right now and am not able to get to sleep. What are YOU  up to at this late hour?
