Artists dream of having their work discussed, debated, interpreted... and I realized, for better or worse, this might be one of the most successful cartoons I've ever made in that regard. Some additional thoughts in the link

Perhaps you have seen some of my cartoon essays and gag strips floating around online, but did you know that I also maintain a Monthly Minicomic Club? That's right, every single month I mail a brand-new self-published minicomic or 'zine out to my members, each copy is signed, and arrive with additional extras and bonuses available only to members at the print level. I've been doing it for almost three years now, so feel confident claiming that you can sign up and rest-assured you are going to get your comics every month, guaranteed. There's a single flat-fee, no additional shipping charges, and international members are welcome.

"Self-Publishing is a power, it's a gift. You can put whatever you want into your own 'zines and minicomics, absolutely nobody can tell you no. Tell your story, don't worry that it's not "good" enough, make it anyway. Self-Publishing is a power."

I believe in the power of self-publishing and D.I.Y. now more than ever.

"It's Hard To Imagine"

At my present age, my life feels very much bifurcated by 9/11. I have twenty years and change of conscious memory before that date, and now I have twenty years and change after. I used color in this comic, to show different time-periods. For me, riding that Q train home was when one era ended and the next began.

I have sent my brand new 'zine, THE GOOD WAR ON TERROR, out to the printer's. This is a reformatted and fully revised print edition of the webcomic I've published previously, adapting (with permission), an essay by the same name written by Chris Hayes. This diary comic pairs well with that piece, and is included in the 'zine.

Join my Almost Monthly 'Zine Club today, and I'll instantly send you some comics in the mail, and you'll also receive this brand new 'zine as soon as it arrives at my house in the first week of January. I think it's going to be a really special comic, and I'm looking forward to sharing it.

The reformatted print ‘zine version of this cartoon essay is now available. I am really happy with how it came out. I hope a few people want a copy. You can get it via my Almost Monthly ‘Zine Club. Join today for only 5 dollars and I’ll send you a copy, and then you’ll get a brand new ‘zine the following month. It’s a good deal!
