As of a few moments ago The Magic Inkwell Reader is now available for orders at IndyPlanet! Previewed here a couple months ago, The Magic Inkwell Reader collects all my original print comics which appeared in various publications from 1996-1998 including comics from Magic Inkwell Comic Strip Theatre #1 originally published in 1998 by Moordam Comics. The book includes an introduction by none other than the ol’ Tyrant himself Steve Bissette! Click here to buy your copy today!
Special thanks to good friend Sarah “Cyd” Streveler! Her generous donation day before yesterday made the expedited printing and availability of this book possible. If you’re reading this, Cyd, don’t you go buying a copy! I’ll be mailing you one from my personal stash as soon as they arrive in my sweaty little hands later next week.
On a more personal note: I’ve decided not to attend the Small Press Expo this year after all. Since I’ll be moving into a new place to live only days before the convention and I need to come up with next month’s rent before the first of October, I’ve decided it was best to beg off going and conserve my energy, time and money for a future convention when I can attend in proper fashion. Also, I’ll need next weekend to properly settle into my new place and get back into working mode as quickly as possible.
Many thanks to all the friends who’s outpouring of support, offers of lodging/transportation, commiseration and retweets after my rather long, cathartic post the other day. As broke as I am, I am truly a rich man to have so many good people in my life. Those of you attending the convention please be sure to make it a point to vote for Year of the Rat for Outstanding Online Comic! It sure would be nice to greet my fellow WRJ/CCS buddies returning from the convention the following week and be handed that coveted red brick! We’ll see what the future holds!
Hi Cayetano! Found you listed on a French website!

Cross fingers for the Ignatz!
Wow! Welcome and thanks!
Thanks to the wonder that is Google Analytics I’ve silently been watching the viewing trends internationally and it’s amazing how many people from all over the world visit here often. I’ve been meaning to post a message welcoming our international visitors and maybe listing some of the places we’re most popular, but haven’t found the time. We have the most regular visitors from California and more specifically L.A., however, which blows my mind. Maybe I should consider moving to Cali?
I’ll be campaigning for you on MYRANT — first post on the matter going up today!
Go Cat!
Hey, I want to buy your book, but I’d rather give you cash for it than buy it online. Will that be possible?
Wow, thanks for the wonderful writeup, Steve!
Colleen, as soon as my copies arrive we’ll do a trade, ok? I’ve been wanting a copy of WOMAN KING!!
Wait, that money went to -you-? I thought I was donating to the “Resurrect Steve McQueen” Fund.
(also, a HUGE congrats on your Ignatz Award, guy!)
