Hey you guys! FREE COMIC BOOK DAY is tomorrow! (Huzzah!) I have a comic in the Tugboat Press anthology Runner Runner which you should look for at a comic store near you! I have an advance copy can attest that it is CHOCK FULL of comic amazingness. You really need to get your piggy paws on it.
Also, the sound effect accompanying this picture is: “ooooooooooo!”
Five True Fans (the comic collective I’m a part of) provided cartoons for a caption contest run by the Asian Art Museum for their MATCHA event!
You can submit a caption here for each of the cartoons, the winner will get some awesome prizes and also I might make you a little medal that says “most witty person ever” which you can wear around on your chest. And you will also get a lifetime of glory. If those don’t appeal to you, you can also just vote on the other captions submitted.
The deadline for submitting captions is this Thursday at 4 pm!
Hey all you nice people!
Tomorrow on January 14th I’ll be the cartoonist-in residence at the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa from 1-3! This means I’ll be hanging out and drawing and yammering with folks. Come and visit me!
I am terribly excited and as such I will probably a) wear a dress b) talk non-stop in an unusually high pitch and c) have dialogue from the You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown TV special stuck in my head the ENTIRE TIME:
The Schulz Musuem is located at 2301 Hardies Lane, Santa Rosa, California, 95403
(707) 579-4452
Admission is $10 for Adults, $5 for Youths and Seniors and Free to Schulz Museum Members and Children under 4 (since they’re not really people yet).
Things have been happening! Things other than feeling mopey and watching Lord of the Rings whilst weeping onto the snowflake cookies I am inhaling and trying to pretend it’s not Christmas. Comic things have been happening!
Mark your calendars on Saturday, January 14th, as I will be the Cartoonist-in-Residence at the Charles M. Schultz Museum in Santa Rosa from 1 to 3. I would be *thrilled* to see you. I’m deadly serious. I feel weirdly nervous about doing this (despite the fact that the patrons of the Schulz Museum are probably very gentle people, not jeering strangers who’ll grab me by the lapels and ask me why I think I’m a “professional cartoonist”) but I’d loooove to see a friendly face.
Also! Much like the Fellowship of the Ring, a few comic people and myself banded together a week ago to save middle earth, and also to form a comic collective that does neat things.
The group is called Five True Fans and you can follow our Tumblr page here, and like our facebook group here. And you should! Engines are still being warmed up but cool things are on the way! The other members of the Fellowship are Cassie J. Sneider, Ric Carrasquillo, and Mari Naomi.
I also started my own Tumblr which you can follow here, which you should follow since I will probably post embarrassing pictures of my life there all the time, since I got a fancy gizmo from my brother over the holidays that lets you do such things.
My little piggy paws have otherwise been kept super busy working on a long comic that will be posted hopefully sometime soon.
Hopefully? Soon?
In other news I renamed my cat over the holidays. She is no longer Sookie.
She is now Mookie.
That is all.
Your pal,
Tessa
