Wednesday, June 24th, 2009ordering info:
right now it’s available through Atomic Books for $13.95 and from me personally (same deal as with Vol 1, $25 includes a sketch inside the book and mini comic) but will soon be on Amazon and in local comic book stores. (if your comic book store doesn’t have it, ask them to order it)

order from me
Also, this Saturday I’ll be discussing making autobio comics along with Lauren Weinstein and David Heatley at Union Pool in Brooklyn at 2pm. I’ll have some books for sale there as well.

bought it from Atomic, and got it, and it’s awesome, and I love it, just as much as Vol. 1. BUT! I thought that I was gonna get it with the sketch and mini-comic like you say here, and like Atomic said when I ordered it pre-release. But I didn’t get those things. Not a big deal. But I will tell you what was a big deal: That my girlfriend and I came to see you at Needles and Pens, and we were running super late, but we made it, and I didn’t bring my book. But, I was going to tell you how much I liked it (I was right next to you), when all of the sudden, my girlfriend knocks over one of the paintings in the store, and you went “eeesssshhh!”, and she got super embarassed, and wanted to leave. So we did.

the deal with the atomic books order was the first 20 people got a free mix cd, not a mini comic. I’m glad you liked it though. But I don’t understand whats up with people attending an event and then being to embarrassed to say anything. shit, I knock stuff over all the time, who cares?

The “order from me” link isn’t working. ERROR 404!
June 24th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
yeah yeah. She was embarassed cause the frame broke on the painting and the guy told her she should be more careful, and I don’t know… she got all pussy-hurt about it. Anyway, I got a sketch from you in the last one I got. So, it’s not like I’d die without another. And I guess I wasn’t fast enough for the cd.

i don’t mean to be a baby, but i dont want to make an account with atomic books and i hate paypal. can’t i just willynilly give you my visa info? security is such a hassle… i’ll deal with it though, thanks for putting out another book! i have a special spot on my book case for you.

nice with the lingerie pic on the cover “sex sells”
June 24th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
Citysqwirl- the link is fixed, thanks for letting me know!
Lily- sorry, but no. I imagine with the way I handle things that it’d be even less secure than paypal. It’ll be on amazon and in stores soon though.
bryan- since when have grannie panties and sports bras considered lingerie? I think you need to hole up in the bathroom with a victorias secret catalog and learn a thing or five

I have acquired an Atomics Books gift card. If go to Atomic Books and buy your book with said gift card, do you still get moneys or does that screw you, somehow? Please help me, I do not understand how capitalism works.

I can’t fucking wait to preorder… right after I type this… 5 seconds to preordering… 5… 4… 3… 2…

Bryan: dude, I’m with you. Screw lace and expensive fabrics like silk and satin. Give me a girl wearing a stained spandex flat-wrap and a hole-pocked pair of billowing cotton briefs and my dick would snap iron chains just like Superman. Three dollar underwear purchased seven years ago is the REAL lingerie.
June 24th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
HOORAY!!
June 24th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
I just bought the shit out of this (from you). Can’t wait!
June 24th, 2009 at 9:14 pm
Hey Julia–
Met you at MoCCA this June, bought the book, read it, dug it. Especially the Magic Schoolbus riffs. You are hysterically bitchy and rude! I am so glad I bought this book. Keep being bitchy and rude.
June 24th, 2009 at 11:54 pm
Do you make more money through Atomic or Amazon or a local comic store? Ultimately, I just want the artist to get as big a slice of my dollar as I can arrange. I am the highest is buying it directly from you at a Con, but that’s not too likely.
Does the venue make a difference to you?
Congratulations on your second book!
June 25th, 2009 at 12:28 am
I am a follower of your website and facebook. I will definitely buy your book from A Comic Shop in Orlando Fl. It gives me an excuse to go get nerdy with others. Thank you for making that happen for me and thank you for making another volume. I keep the first one on my night stand. Again, thank you for being awkwardly awesome.
June 25th, 2009 at 8:20 am
Oh the halcyon days of regular PBF updates… I’ll likely purchase a copy of your book at the panel on Saturday.
Matt Bernier - you have officially given me at least one future nightmare.

-Met you at MoCCA…Keep being bitchy and rude.
I hope you meant that about my comics and not me personally, because I am neither bitchy or rude in person. well, not most of the time.
-Do you make more money through Atomic or Amazon or a local comic store?
at this point I don’t make any money from it because the first portion of sales goes towards the publisher recouping their printing money, that’s just how books work. If you bought it directly from me, I’d make a little money, however if not that, then please buy it from Atomic Books.
June 25th, 2009 at 10:29 am
Ha! Told you it would be funny someday!
Love the book!
June 25th, 2009 at 10:58 am
CaptFamous- Here’s a second: The holes in the underpants are there to allow the tentacles out.
June 25th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Pre-ordered and got the book a few days ago…looks great!!
June 25th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
hrm… I need this! Been looking forward to it actually, I felt the online strip has improved since moving to Brooklyn. C’mon unemployment check….
June 25th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Just ordered from your store. Looking forward to reading!
June 25th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
Damn, I was one of the first 20?!? That remarkably organized of me.
The mixtape is ACE! Saving the book for when crazy life allows me a suitable gap to devour the whole thing in one go. Or at least in one day with a couple of snaxs breaks.
Thanks for drawing!

Any playlist available for the mix (for those of us who aint got it?)
I bought the book from you at Mocca, and still love bitch cookies.
June 25th, 2009 at 8:35 pm
doh! I can’t wait for payday

great going Julez
June 26th, 2009 at 8:14 am
Hi,
does the thing have an ISBN?
Thanks,
Carsten

-Any playlist available for the mix (for those of us who aint got it?)
but that would ruin the 20 person secret! But I’ll give you a hint: it involves lots of random quotes like “milk is for babies. When you grow up, you drink beer.”
-Is this a Julia Wertz sighting?
no, that’s not me, but I’m glad my doppelganger is out there half naked in acid wash pants. makes a girl proud.
-does the thing have an ISBN?
i dont know if this is a yes or no question because I’m not sure of the intent, but straightforward, yes, it’s 978-0-9786569-4-2
June 26th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
Someone should torrent the CD so we can all hear the awesomeness.
June 27th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
Julia,
thanks, I will see if my bookstore is good enough to get it with the help of the ISBN. And for considering answering just what I asked, not what I wanted to know: I like it. You should be a mathematician
Best,
Carsten

Got the comic, it’s awesome. Way to go!
June 28th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
Picked up the new book at Forbidden Planet over the weekend. I thought it was really great. The strip where you piss in your own sink made me laugh out loud. The rest of it didnt suck. Keep up the good work!
June 29th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
getting it.
jeez dumped twice…that isn’t funny at all!
June 29th, 2009 at 11:52 pm
Bought my copy last week. Can’t wait to crack it open!!!!
June 30th, 2009 at 2:19 am
I preordered it though my comic book store, and just finished reading it, and by finished I mean I am 15 pages or so off actually finishing it. I just procrastinate any sort of endings. Love it so far tho. Please write another!
July 7th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
I totally bought this from my local comic book store, Ash Ave. in Tempe. I was fortunate enough to buy the first one on a total whim from the same place while still a little bit drunk and stoned from the night before.
So fucking good. I love it.
February 3rd, 2010 at 6:04 am
after looking through my friend’s copy of this book i think ill order one myself… when i get paid of course
