No crumbo two weeks in row! Crap-city! Our stratagems and progress toward world domination continue however. Some announcements and conversation pieces:
- “Crumbo” is slang for comic now. Sure I’m not the first to come up with it, but I’m rolling with it anyway. Get on board!
- Update on our Mocca Mini Comic: Instead of a black-and-white comic of all-new material, it’s going to be a color compilation of some of our 2012-13 comics with (hopefully) a smidge of new material. Unlike myself, Dana was smart enough to check/remember the turnaround time on our printer, and it’s way too long for us to get an all-new mini done in time for the show. So, a goal for next year I guess!
- Reader/superhero Grant inadvertently pointed out a mistake I made in last week’s post. When I said, “I hope to be selling our mini comic in our web store in six months,” I meant, “I hope we’ll have a web store set up in 6 months, in which we’ll be selling our mini comic!” So, for anyone else wondering, we don’t actually have a web store yet. But soon!
- Work on the exciting short story I mentioned in last week’s post is going well. I finished another big chunk this weekend, and it’s still pretty cool and fun. I wish I was smart enough to talk about it without spoiling anything, but I’m not. Only vague details for now, sorry!
Not much else to say this week! We’re working through titles for the mini now, and like always, it’s the world’s worst process. So far I have 7,000 variations of “I’m sorry I only write jokes about masturbation, it’s a cry for help I guess,” i.e., nothing remotely usable or even referencing something other than genitals. I guess that’s life in the wiener-joke business though!
