Thanks to Rob Clough for posting about the newest 4-Square, “Dark Corners”, in his new role as reviewer for the re-vamped The Comics Journal.

Then, when I went to knock around on the new site a bit, a review for Funny Aminals pops up! Thanks again, Rob.
Dark Corners and Funny Aminals both sold out of their first printings, but we are in the process of making 2nd printings, and those should be ready for order soon!
Dark Corners, our latest 4-Square book, along with the new anthology Funny Aminals, will be having a joint mini-tour later in October. Dates will be:
Friday October 16th: Desert Island in NYC (Williamsburg, Bk), 7pm-9pm
Saturday October 17th: Hub Comics in Boston (Union Square, Somerville), 7pm-9pm
Sunday October 18th: Ada Books, Providence RI, 2pm-4pm
And we’re going to be giving away some free gifts with purchase! A copy of the gorgeous tour poster by Ignatz-winning artist Cat Garza will be available with purchase of Funny Aminals, and a limited-edition Dark Corners blank notebook/sketchbook will be given away with each purchase of Dark Corners.
Hope to see you there!!
Sadly, I won’t be at the I Know Joe Kimpel table at SPX this year, but I will be close enough to throw paper airplanes at them.
Ok, and my comic book Woman King got nominated for one of those award-thingies for Promising New Talent. If you happen to be there, it would be nice if you voted for me. Or, anyone really. Everyone who was nominated in that category is pretty amazing.
That’s all, hope to see you there!
