I will be tabling at the Brooklyn Zine Fest tomorrow (Sunday) with Justin DeCarlo! If you are not familiar with DeCarlo's work, here is some fan mail I sent him last year:



Hyper Toast, DeCarlo's comic, is in it's third issue, and let me tell you, if you are in any position to attend the Zine Fest, you are a Grade A moron if you neglect to pick up DeCarlo's comic. Hyper Toast #1, after some 25 Zine Fests and Conventions I have attended, is still my favorite find. Go get it!

AND, DeCarlo's work is featured in the upcoming Volume 6 of Always Comix- the How We Met Issue- we will be announcing the full roster next week, and before I do, let me say that we received OVER twice the number of comics we can afford to print, which is about 2/3 as many comics as we got for the Evil Issue. There were many quality comics that we were forced to cut, but we are deeply appreciative of everyone who submitted.

Brooklyn Zine Fest is held from 12-7 Sat&Sun at the Lyceum- 227 4th Avenue, Park Slope

Like so many of you darlings, Erin and I will be out in full Always Comix force with many delightful things including an announcement for the next theme for Always Comix!!! What could it be? If you want to know first, you'll have to come to our table to find out!



Our back/handmande issues are Out Of Print! We still have 2-4 (and maybe 1, depending on what the printer tells me this afternoon), so come and get them- their days are numbered!


I'll also have the dazzlingly scandalous Girls Don't Make Passes at Boys With Moustaches- containing the hilarious tale of my saddest breakup ever! I discuss this and more in a, according to my precious boyfriend, mildly pretentious tone on this interview with the incredibly gracious Matt Aukamp of Everything is Wonderful- listen HERE
