@$$hole!: Blind Date 13
The DD Awards are coming out this week (started yesterday, in fact), and this comic was graciously nominated for Best Photo Comic, and Best Socio-Political Comic. Unfortunately, the comic did not bring home the bacon, but just being nominated is reward enough. Especially for 2 years in a row for Best Photo Comic!
Also, be on the lookout for my contribution to the awards presentations: an epic 3 pager (combined into a single page) that falls into the current storyline, and also teases about possible things to come! It’s for the Best Romance Comic category, and should be a hoot!
Also, if you live in the Chicago area, I’ll be attending Reactor Con the weekend of September 18. I have 5 panels at the convention, and I’ll be talking about various topics including writing comics, the artistic approach, crafting a fantasy world, and even a panel about this very comic here: @$$hole! I’ll be premiering the first book there, which collects the Laura’s 21st Birthday storyline – with new original artwork, an afterword by the creator, a brand-spanking new cover, and a forward by Josh from TokyoPOP, Josh Elder! 50+ pages for just $6.
Alan Evans and I will also be attending Mid-Ohio Comic Con in October, and will be hanging out with the very talented Lora Innes (The Dreamer), as well as several other awesome people both from DD and abroad!
More cool announcements as the week progresses, and as always there are reviews and comics on the main website.
