Glad I Posted Late
‘Cause I just got this:

Hear that, creators? Got something that’s appropriate for the 7 to 13 crowd? Send it in and get yerself a little publicity. You probably won’t win unless you kill Kean Soo. Please note that this is not a suggestion that you kill Kean to improve your chances, ’cause he’ll just get the sympathy vote.
In other, briefer news:
- Another process video, this one by Josh Lesnick.
- Chris Baldwin‘s it was supposed to last for one month diary strip (which featured both me and my dog) wrapped today — view the whole thing under the title May 2008 at his special projects site, Water Street.
- We haven’t gotten one of those hope-it-saves-the-chain concept stores out of Borders in New Jersey yet, but they’ve got one in Allen, Texas. They’ll be having Scott Kurtz out on Saturday at noon for a signing to help with the grand opening.
You’re in NJ? Where in NJ? Which newspaper(s) do you read? I’m in Bound Brook (Somerset county), read the Star Ledger, and am amused that when Rich Stevens took Diesel Sweeties out of syndication, he was replaced by a word puzzle instead of another comic strip.
