With my head out on the ledge
The okay has been given, so here's my teaser story for Plotz #0 in its entirety. I already have a number of ideas cooking in the ol' brain kitchen, but I can't say which one will make it into the first proper issue of Plotz. It'll all depend on which idea requires the most leg room to stretch out with. Are my metaphors as tired as I feel right now? Enjoy:

On the Air one

On the Air two
On the Air three
On the Air four


Haven't forgotten about posting things for purchasing, if any of you are chomping at the bit (hahahahaha, right) to get your hands on some minis and paintings. I've been a little the worse for wear health-wise lately, so bear with me as I pull myself together.

charming!

i'm sorry to hear you've been worse for the wear, i'm even sorrier that i am also not in a great situation physically and financially because i still want to buy something from you, but i am afraid that i will have to postpone it :(

keep up the awesome work and feel better, mister!

Thanks, madam! I'm starting to pull through it, I think. I've been medicating myself with my patented tea, comics, lap-cat trifecta of cures. I never believed the whole 'everyone gets sick during or after SPX' thing, but here I am.

Some day I'll be able to afford your work as well. I figure so long as we keep making it, the option will always be there.

truer words never spoke! but also i usually underprice my work a lot, so i think affordabilty will come sooner than later for us. hooray!

(shouldn't we just trade sometime? it just occurred to me-- though i'd probably give you a few things of mine for one of yours. )

I was even yawning as I was drawing the comic, and its based on something that actually happened to me months before I bothered to write about it. With any luck, it will induce the same effect in others; and I'll perpetuate one continuous chain of exhalation forward into the future.

In a similar vein, I think everybody knows somebody who has, at one time or another, owned a Reservoir Dogs poster. It's like the Kevin Bacon of movie paraphernalia.

Also I would very much like to see that yawning fox.

Hahaha. Served him right.

SPX was amazing. Definitely my favorite of the three times I've gone now, even with the hassles leading up to it. Traded mini comics with a lot of people I really respect. Met some people face to face for the first time. Got introduced to some new people. Couldn't really ask for anything more out of it. Wish it hadn't made me sick, though. Who do you know that won Ignatzes? I never did hear who won what.

Ha, that is fantastic.
Hey, this reminds me that I never saw any episodes of 'On The Air' past that one that Roger showed us. I'll have to track down a copy somehow. Have you seen Inland Empire yet?

I have indeed seen Inland Empire. I had to buy the dvd to watch it (no luck getting it in a theatre around here), but since I ended up enjoying it (or rather, I thought it was good, I don't know how much enjoyment I derived from parts of it) it was well worth the price. I don't know if you have the two disc copy or not, but the Cooking with David Lynch extra alone would have convinced me of its worth.

Glad you like the comic. Thanks.

Hmmm, should I compliment you or continue our bitter rivalry, and insult you or threaten you with bodily injury?

Can't you do all of the above? I mean, if you can pencil it into your busy schedule and all...

You never told me you could read minds, Sarah! That is precisely what I have been looking into this past week in my spare time. I'm glad you think I'd have an audience there. It makes me want to put one together even more now.

MMMmmmmmmm...this story is excellent. The textures, the mood, the spot black are all perfectly rendered! Now...how do I go about getting an issue of this Plotz?

You're too kind, sir. Thanks much. As for a copy of your own, you should probably talk to Phil, as he is the ringmaster of our little circus. I no longer have any copies to distribute.
