hey guys -
as part of my week of AWESOME FILLER counting down to the premiere of life is good #2 on monday 11/9, i thought i’d post about a project i was (marginally) involved with:
i was production assistant on alex robinson’s new book, “a kidnapped santa claus“. alex made “box office poison” – one of my absolute favorite graphic novels – & was my thesis advisor at the center for cartoon studies last year (he helped me develop “life is good #2” & “the trial of sweetie snake“). after minimal harrassment, i was able to get him to let me do the scanning & layout for his newest books “guts” (that’s fancy comic-speak for the insides of a comic book what that you read with your eyes) last spring. it’s a fun book that you should buy lots of copies of for everyone you love & respect (but not before you buy lots of copies of my books for everyone you love & respect).
and if you look hard enough, you might just find a little shout-out to brownie & charles on page 40… that alone is worth the price of the book – you know, if you like my comics enough to be excited to see the characters drawn by somebody else…
