Things To Do In [insert city] When You’re Dead

If you can’t make SPX (starting today in Bethesda, MD), or the ZLIKS party (tonight in SoHo), or Stumptown (coupla weeks in Portland, OR) (and at least two of those events feature booze + webcomics artistes), there are a few things you might want to look into.

  • Tomorrow and Sunday in Memphis, TN, it’s Con-Sequential, with Steve Troop representin’; drop by and let him know what you think of the 24-hour comic experiment he’s running.
  • Do you like food? Because also in the great expanse of flyover country, Dave Kellett will be at Monty’s Gourmet Foods in Kansas City. Not really a comics-kinda deal, but Kellett designed labels for the sauces and salsas, and will be on hand from noon to six on Saturday. When you go, be sure to challenge Kellett to a rousing game of Eat That Taco (I can’t believe I found that strip).
  • The Lancaster Comics Convention in Lancaster, UK hits on the 28th; webcomickers expected in attendance include Liz Greenfield, Ali Graham, James Turner, and the Mancunian Dreamboat himself, John Allison. Ladies, please! One at a time!
  • In today’s Why Was I Not Informed Of This Earlier category, a quick disclaimer: the words “fan fiction” usually give me the jibblies pause, so why am I so taken with Serenity Tales? There’s some pretty damn good webcomics over there, set in the context of a pretty damn good story, with names like Mike Russell and Bill Mudron contributing. If you can’t make any of the events coming up and like things that are awesome, you could do worse than spending some time here.
  • Finally, and appropos of nothing, I got a real kick out of the first panel of today’s Two Lumps. Cats know they’re superior to us, and sometimes they’ve got good reason to feel that way.

I’d like to take a moment to claim credit for Gary having the jibblies at the mere thought of fan fiction – particularly with yellow text on a green background.

What, no link, Jeff?

My laziness knows no bounds…
