Well, the IKJK crew survived another year at the MoCCA Festival, and we did it with outstanding charm and good humor. The new location this year at the Lexington Avenue Armory provided plenty of room for our books, as well as plenty of lounging space behind the table.

Colleen Frakes sets up her always-impressive spread.

Former IKJK member Adam Staffaroni stopped by for a chat.

Caitlin Plovnick and Jon-Mikel Gates rest after some exhausting table-sitting.

John Chad was sad. Because he sold so many books. He hates to part with them.

One of our favorite people in the whole world, Tom Devlin, stopped by to impart his wisdom upon David Yoder. And on the rest of us.

Morgan Pielli's eyes were glowing red again. And see that crazed look on his face? We were afraid.

Ken Dahl was just wacky.

We took a lot more photos of middle fingers, just cause it's funny. No really, it is.

It was awesome to see the IKJK 4-Square anthologies on display at Jim Hanley's Universe.

I guess that’s all we have to share for now. Phew, posting this was exhausting. Off to rest up- see you all next year! Thanks to Colleen and Penina for the pics.

Issue one of a planned eight-part series, Jeff Lok’s Pockmarked Apocalypse got a great review on The Daily Crosshatch recently. We’re now selling this lovely comic book at the I Know Joe Kimpel Store, so check it out here! Check out some sample pages below- great stuff!

Hey, it’s a new year! So, a new blog! Aren’t you sick of them yet?

Due to the holiday madness, issue #6 of Tragic Relief is going to be a late. I hope to have it ready by January.

In the meantime, I’m going to try my hand at this whole “web comics” thing. This is a project I’ve been working on for a few years now. Fellow IKJK member Joe Lambert is coloring it, and Jon-Mikel Gates is doing the site design.

Check it out, new updates every Tuesday and Thursday:

Faux-Pas #5, in super-limited edition

Here ya go!

The Sundays Anthology guys have been working like madmen these past few days to have what may in fact be The Coolest Thing Ever ready for MoCCA. If you’re heading that way, be sure to check them out at table #A45. And if you’re not going to be at MoCCA, well, ain’t it lucky for you that Sundays will be available from IKJK!

Here’s Alex “A-Train” Kim printing the cover:

And voila, finished covers drying on the CCS rack!

Hopefully they’ll like this post enough that they won’t mind my hotlinking their photos (taken by Chuck “McBuck” Forsman).
