Postcard from Fielder

I have a 2 pager in the Italian magazine Internazionale, in Italian.
Here's what the pages look like, with the lettering left out.

Feast of Comics

Happy Feast of Comics!

I will be celebrating by reading
a lot of comics, 8-ish hours
(with breaks), and then feasting
with Ted and Sacha.

The way I figure to do it is to
read a little bit of a lot of things,
not get bogged down in anything,
unless it's really good,
mixing it up, and also
doodling in the sketchbook when
moved to do so.

Hoping to make a decent dent in
the "to be read" pile.

Cat Shop

The Catastrophe Shop wasn't working for a couple weeks because Paypal changed something, but now it's working again.

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(Or Else #6 will not be published, but this was going to be the cover.)
