This just in...

Once again, I'll be signing copies of Baltimore Betty at HonFest this year! I wasn't too sure if I'd be there or not, because the store that used to host me changed names/owners, and I wasn't even sure if they still carried Betty! Fortunately, they do, and I just confirmed that I'll be there to sign, so yay!

Look for me outside of HonTown, which is the old drugstore on the Avenue. It's right across from Cafe Hon, which you can't miss due to the giant pink flamingo on the building's facade.

Hope to see you there!

May recap

As usual, I apologize for not posting as often as I should. That being said, I've still got a few hours left of May, so here's what happened this month. (And yes, I realize that it would have made sense to promote all of this beforehand.)

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY

Free Comic Book Day took place on Saturday, May 7. It went really well this year and oddly enough, I sold more copies of Baltimore Betty than I have in the last several years...could this be a sign of economic recovery? Only time will tell!



Me sitting at my signing table. Unfortunately Greg Cox and the other signers weren't able to make it this year.





But Keith and Jams made it! (As did Donna, John and Justin.)

















Promotion for FCD and the cartoon I did for that Friday's Record. I included the owner of Washington Street Books/longtime friend, John Klisavage.










You can read more about Free Comic Book Day here. Remember, it's the first Saturday in May at comic book stores around the country. If you missed out this year, mark your calendar for the next one!

Also, I think I'm going to break this recap into three posts. It'll make it look like I've accomplished more. Ha!

SPXPO

Gee, it's been awhile since I've posted here. Things went well at HonFest several months ago. I guess I never got around to posting pics but I had a great time and a sold a good amount of books. I also got to meet a lot of great Crabby and Hon fans, which was the best part. There's really nothing better than someone telling you that they have one of your comics on their fridge. Especially when you didn't pay them to say that.

Anywho! I'm popping in to let y'all know that I'll be at SPXPO in Bethesda this weekend (Saturday and Sunday.) I'll be selling copies of "Hey, Hon! It's Baltimore Betty," Crabby and Hon pins, and Crabby and Hon original artwork. Be sure to stop by and check it out. I'll be sharing a table with my fellow MICA alums Melody and Catherine, who also have awesomely amazing work that you must see.

Come see me at Honfest, hons!

Stop by Honfest next weekend and say "hey!" I'll be signing copies of Baltimore Betty, prints of Crabby and Hon and more! Weather permitting, I'll be outside of Hometown Girl. If it rains, I'll be inside Hometown Girl (across from Cafe Hon - i.e., the place with the giant pink flamingo on it.)

Honfest is Saturday and Sunday, June 12 and 13. See 'ya there!

Free comic book day recap

Free comic book day/the Havre De Grace decoy festival was a huge success! The weather was beautiful, there were a ton of people who showed up to the store, and Keith brought me ice cream. It doesn't get any better! Wanna see some pics?



Me and the Dominator. I'd crack a smart ass joke, but the Dominator is a comic book that was created for a little boy who died of brain cancer. So...not too funny.




Me and sci-fi writer, Greg Cox.




Jealous, much?




Me trying to look professional while scarfing down a salad.









Ahhh, look out, Keith!

Remember, Free Comic Book Day is always the first Saturday in May. If you missed it this year, be sure to mark it on your calendar for next year!

Also, if you happen to be in Havre De Grace, be sure to stop by Washington Street Books. It's one of my favorite places and it has everything from books to antiques to comics to a life-size sculpture of Jar Jar Binks! What more could you want?!

Neeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrds!

In honor of Free Comic Book Day, I'll be doing a signing at Washington Street Books in Havre De Grace, Maryland on Saturday, May 1. Unfortunately, I probably won't have anything free to give out, but I will be selling copies of Hey, Hon! It's Baltimore Betty!

Washington Street Books always has a great guest list lined up for free comic book day, and this year I've been told there will be Storm Troopers in attendance. I have no idea what this means exactly, but if Storm Troopers are involved, do you really need any more information?! You don't.

So stop on by and say "hello!" If you're not into comic books, worry not! Free Comic Book Day happens to coincide with the Havre De Grace decoy festival. I've always said that there are two types of people in the world - those who like comic books, and those who like duck decoys. So come on down to Havre De Grace on May 1 - there's sure to be something for everyone!

Oh, and did I mention FREE COMICS?!

Check it out, Hon!

Don't worry! I didn't die in the snowstorm! I survived, and I come bearing good news!

You can now purchase Baltimore Betty ONLINE! It's available through the Baltimore Museum of Art's NEW online store. Check it out!
