Kids Comics Club

This was from a kids mini-comics workshop I was doing at the library to promote the Comics Fest, one mister Patrick Holt and I organized for our library. The above link is to a blog post Lunch Lady author, Jarrett Krosoczka wrote about the event. He was particularly excited about the young artists displaying and signing their mini-comics. Two of the kids in this comic (the girl talking about the flea, and the kid with the machine gun arm) are featured in Jarrett's post.

Sorry for the lapse in posts. I went on vacation, which also ended up being a technology vacation (no phone, (almost) no internet). I got to see my friends get married; I got to meet my brother's lovely new girlfriend; and Majka (my dog) made a BFF out of my parents dog, Boise. Majka also discovered the wonder of giant backyards where she could dig all she wanted. It was puppy heaven. Beautiful.

On our epic, 18 hour trip back from WNY to North Carolina we stopped in Pittsburgh. We had lunch at my old house with my favorite former housemate, met up with some old friends, and went to the new Copacetic Comics. If you've never been there - It's the best comics shop ever. The owner is so friendly and has read just about everything in the store, and gives great recommendations. Even in the old location that was the size of a closet, it was by far the best stocked indie comics store I've been to. Now that they have a reasonable amount of space - it's wonderful, and worth the stop in Pittsburgh. We loaded up on new comics. Kirill was excited to find Bar Miki, a new Finnish comic (as he is learning Finnish). I picked up Ten Thousand Things to Do by Jesse Reklaw, 3 Stories by Alexis Frederick-Frost, and Neptune by Aron Nels Steinke.

Oh, Pittsburgh, how I love thee.
