Follow me on Twitter

So I have a Twitter now. So far I’ve only used it for cracking wise and occasionally complaining about junk, but as far as I can tell that’s what it’s for, so there you go. Over time I’ll probably start making special announcements via Twitter, about things like bonus comics or limited edition merch, so if you’re interested in that then it’d probably be wise to tune in…but for the moment it’s mainly cracking wise and complaining.

Also, I’ve had this link hanging out in a browser tab for far too long; time to post it! Just goes to show what you can accomplish with free time.

WHY WORK? You can help!

I was informed by Marksman Owen J. this week that my “Why Study?” downloadable educational poster for schools could, with a slight modification, reach an even wider audience with my message of ‘alternative productivity’:

WHY STUDY? Spread the word!

I was on the UCLA campus yesterday, and everybody was just bustling about hither and yon, all wrapped up in the end of the semester. It got me thinking…what if there were something I could do to make their burdens seem a little lighter, to make each weary day a little brighter? But, it seems, there is:

I’m on a plane to Seattle tomorrow (for the Emerald City Comic Con this weekend! See you there!) so I won’t have a chance to paper any campuses with these flyers. But you certainly can! Here’s an 8.5″ x 11″ flyer for you to print out, make many copies of, and display, if you wish, on your campus! Bringing joy to your fellow suffering students can be your good deed for the term — I’d award you extra credit if I could. (Remember to snip the pull-off tabs with scissors in the grand guitar-lessons-flyer tradition!)

you can also send me pictures or put them on facebook if you like

Coming up: MoCCA in New York!

This weekend I’ll be in New York for the MoCCA Art Festival! MoCCA is one of my favorite shows, and this year Randall Munroe will be joining me and Yates. I’ll have my new book, Yates will have his new book, Randall will have the charisma that he brings with him everywhere, and if you don’t care about any of us, there’s plenty of other great guests for you to get excited about. If you’re anywhere at all near New York City, you must attend!

In addition, I’ll be on Staten Island Friday night for a screening of Expendable at the Staten Island Film Festival. If you’re in the area, come on by! It’ll also be playing this weekend at Soonercon, in Oklahoma City.

Also, a detail to point out: the book in the photo last week is in fact the very first copy ever, and will be the exact copy going to a lucky contest winner!
