Read Comics All Day
Along the lines of Open That Bottle Night, I would like to propose a new "holiday": Read Comics All Day...Day. I'm kind of serious about this. Permission to read comics all day. Get some beers and some pizzas, etc., put on some records... Like, at least 8+ hours of solid reading.
Some Saturday in the Fall?
Comments are open.

News
I've decided that Or Else (the series) is done. It doesn't make sense to do it this way anymore. Drawn and Quarterly have been great and I want to thank them. For sure I will still be putting out a lot of books and zines, forever, so save your pennies, and watch this space for more news as it becomes available. Thanks for reading.(Or Else #6 will not be published, but this was going to be the cover.)

Promotional
I'm honored to have my story "The Curse" included in the wonderful Anthology of Graphic Fiction, volume 2. Here's a link to a promotional video where Ivan Brunetti talks about how comics force us to have empathy for the entire universe.

Leon Scoops ABC News
ABC News would have known about this had they read The Leon Tapes."...Faulk says he and others in his section of the NSA facility at Fort Gordon routinely shared salacious or tantalizing phone calls that had been intercepted, alerting office mates to certain time codes of "cuts" that were available on each operator's computer.
"Hey, check this out," Faulk says he would be told, "there's good phone sex or there's some pillow talk, pull up this call, it's really funny, go check it out. It would be some colonel making pillow talk and we would say, 'Wow, this was crazy'," Faulk told ABC News."
