my life is the punchline
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009I fucked up some of the times in my last post so here they are for reals:
Saturday/Sunday: Fart Party Vol 2 debuts at MoCCA (why does the word debut sound so douchey? I guess I could just say “shit you can buy for cash money.”)
I’ll have a few of the (now discontinued) Mystery Theater mini comic on hand that, while available for purchase, is more liquid trade friendly.
Saturday:
2pm-3 I’ll be on a panel about comics and the economy with some small press publishers. (This panel veers toward the more sterile/businessy side of official and self publishing stuff so if you don’t want your “fart party is all just shits and giggles” perception to be ruined, don’t come. If you want to hear about what it’s like to be a cartoonist or small publisher scrapin’ by while the publishing industry goes to hell, then do come)
6:30- Mass signing at Giant Robot
10pm- after party/show at Austins at 282 Broadway in Brooklyn
Sunday:
2-3 I’ll be sketching at the MoCCA fundraiser table while feeling wildly out of place.
Sunday night I’ll probably just go cry into my beer at a bar somewhere and then wonder what it’d be like if I’d followed through with that whole wanting to be a speleologist when I grew up thing.

Cute guys that don’t help you pick up your books aren’t worth your time and aren’t really cute.
I do stupid stuff like that all the time — going out to get one thing done and then doing everything but that.

“These flowers are for my grandmother’s grave, you horrible, horrible mean woman!”
That’s what I would have said. Nosey people need to learn.

They were probably laughing because you can usually get a new phone for cheaper than a new charger. I don’t know what plan you have, but I have T-Mobile and anytime I need a new phone I can get one for free or cheap by extending my contract.

Excited about FP2.
Drat - more cash I gotta bring to Mocca.
Or will a rag soaked in Makers get me a signed copy?

Julia, I think I’m going to get a new phone in August (I’m gonna get a VT #) So you can have my charger then if you want. Or we could both get new phones at the same time - the end of an era!
June 3rd, 2009 at 10:20 am
What brand/model of phone? I can probably find you a charger
June 3rd, 2009 at 7:08 pm
You should’ve had the florist eat the books you bought…WHOLE. And BY FORCE.
God, I hate getting whacked-out questions like that.

My cell phone is 9 years old. I get heckled about it from time to time, but it works just fine.

were you at the strand during the David Sedaris reading tuesday? If so I’m pretty sure I saw you but didn’t want to say anything if it wasn’t you.

for chargers.

i have a three year old phone and i love it. i hate new crap.

Ebay is always a good place to find discontinued electronics for cheap.

Q/A
-Or will a rag soaked in Makers get me a signed copy?
wouldn’t that render me unconscious? I mean, yeah, I’m all for it, but I don’t think I could sign anything after that
-What brand/model of phone? I can probably find you a charger
Thanks but I already got a charger off the internet, where time doesn’t exist.
-were you at the strand during the David Sedaris reading tuesday?
nope, that wasn’t me. Has Stuff White People Like mentioned Sedaris yet? not to knock him, it just seems fitting

wtf i’m flying back to my hometown for my best friend’s wedding in the morning (in 5 hrs)! i’m making him pay for any cloths (tux) i have to wear to the wedding though. also currently packing and charging my (5 year old) fone.
about the charger : assuming it’s broken and not lost, you could try asking any of your geek friends if they can fix it. most “charger” devices use the same setup. so you just have to find a spare one that’s putting out the same amount of power and then just replace the cable+connector from the broken charger - fairly easy if you have a clue what you’re doing.

One word: Pantsuit.

If you’re ever in the UK shoot me an email - free hugs and cookies
June 4th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
I still have the same computer since 2004 does that count for not wanting something new just because their new? And i hate cell phone contracts. Thats why i wont sign another one screw you t-mobile, verizon, at& crap, sprint is actually cool but i wont sign again.
BOOSTMOBILE!!! METROPCS!!! CRICKET!!! Hell even VIRGIN MOBILE!!!
i really need to stop drinking so much coffee
June 4th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
this is great
June 4th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Yeah, I hate buying new cellphones; I’ve never done it. When mine craps out, I buy the three-year-old fancy model off eBay for $25-$50 with no contract. I’ll be getting an iPhone or equivalent @ 2011.

Wow. If you didn’t already make an autobio comic, you’d have to start one, what with all the hilarity that your life contains.
Speaking of, I got “I Saw You…” at my local B+N. That book was a really good idea! Full of goodness.
June 4th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
Who the fuck gives someone shit over the kind of phone they use?
Was high school really so awesome for some people that they refuse to ever leave it behind?
Gaarrrr stupid people make brain hurt ARRGH

Oh you luddites and your 6mo+ old phones!
June 5th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
HaHa! This is a really honest, cute and witty comic!!
…Love it!
June 6th, 2009 at 3:02 pm
Been reading this comic for the last 3 days, interesting story so far, keep up the good work! Will buy one of your comics if i ever have the money, and someone does ship to europe..
And i heard you hate those..

the flowers thing reminded me of when I bought flowers for my girlfriend at some point, and the lady behind the counter assumed they were for my mom and told me what a nice daughter I was. Unaware of her assumption at first, my confusion was great and profoundly disturbing on like, a couple of levels.
Love the comic, like always.
June 7th, 2009 at 11:00 am
Great to you meet you briefly at MoCCA. Thanks for signing my books!
June 7th, 2009 at 9:45 pm
Once again. Love it!

I just get an iGo charger (radioshack carrys em) and when you need to switch phones you buy a new tip for it and you are good to go. Should have a tip for your older phone too.

I’m midway through FP2 and love it.
Several laugh way out loud moments, especially sketchy Julia eating “bitch brownies.”
