Please enjoy my contribution to the Prison for Bitches Lady GaGa Fanzine edited by Ryan Sands and Michael Deforge.
Do yourself a favor and order a copy. Even if, like me and Michel Gondry, you find the lady a little blah blah, there is an AMAZING contributors list.
For the first time eva, I’ll be on a panel at APE this year. The topic is “The ABCs and Zs: The SF Bay Area Scene of Comics, Zines, Community, and Everything in Between” on Saturday at 12:45-1:30.
Mostly I’ll be rapping about the iGoogle Comics Themes campaign, but will certainly also be giving a shout out to the premiere of the Electric Ant Zine Issue 2, at the Bang Gang table (#418) — all of which I am proudly a part.

If you need more evidence that I am a geek, my college bff Dan Redding just posted an interview with me in the blog department of his new and lovely design site Magnetic State.
Check it out for a great chance to comment tl;dr.
The Alternative Press Expo last month was a hoot! Germart represented with the debut of Dyl & Nate’s Planet Booty album and Consumer Comics Vol. 1, which I put together with a cameo by Miki Amano.
It was also heartening to see the hilarious new mini-comic “Ramble On” from Calvin Wong, the purty, smack talkin’ “Jin & Jam” fancy comic by Hellen Jo, and the worth-waiting-for and very pink Electric Ant Zine.

I taught a ten-week comics class to five rad sixth graders this spring.
But, you say, I thought you were too busy to do anything outside your job? Well, Citizen Schools actually bussed the students to the Googleplex.
The result is 32 pages of comics awesomery covering topics as diverse as sausage with utters, bacon with hands, samurai pigs, the non-knowing bear, and global warming. On second thought, all these topics seem pretty closely related.

In honor of its four-year anniversary, here’s “My Boyfriend is a Freak!”, a classic photo comic starring Chris Dapkins (of Elk Creek Cinema), Miki Amano, and Nathan G.
Conceived, shot, and mucked together by your’s truly.
A hearty thank you to Jessie Grace and Andy (pictured above) for putting me up in Portland for the 2008 Stumptown Comics Fest. (You really ought to check out Andy’s righteous folk rock band Bark Hide and Horn!) Thanks also to Cal Wong and Hellen Jo for the continual inspiration and letting me tag along.
Please enjoy this new two-page comic for the upcoming Electric Ant Zine. Pretty much a true story.
As attentive readers know, every day in February I traded sleep for a new drawing on the 2008 thing-a-day blog along the likes of fellow comic nerds Ryan Sands, Hellen Jo, and Calvin Wong. Above are some highlights. Check out the my thing-a-day posts to see the whole mess.
