i can has comicz kthx

So. Shortpants got all its ducks in a row for the next convention a good three weeks early. Which means we now have time to post about other comics stuff. Like the Laugh-Out-Loud cats, which seamlessly combines our love for old timey comics and our love for LOLcats (oh hai i can has walt kelly furst edishuns? kthx).

Oh, and did I mention...

...Why We Call Them Robots is back in print as of 9pm last night!



Also, Shortpants is down to our last 4 (four!) copies of Winter Beard. Get 'em while they're hot!

Also also, we will have not one but TWO books premiering at Chicago's Wizard World this year. We'll be in Artist Alley, booth 3806.

Can we pin you?

We have a new pin set for you! From left to right, designs from Robert Stevenson, Bernie McGovern, and Jason Robards. One tiny dollar puts them in your pocket.

Be our date on Friday

What are you doing Friday? Going to the sexy, sexy PRINTERS' BALL, I hope. It's free to get in, there'll be tons of free crap for you to read and take home, and yours truly is helping to provide a very tasty slideshow of some really great minicomics artwork. Apparently there'll also be free hot dogs, for some reason.

Blogging is for the weak

So we haven't disappeared, I promise. We're just getting lots of awesome stuff together for the upcoming Chicago comic book convention. Here's a peek:



Also, Bernie's "An Army of Lovers Will be Beaten" is moving FAST. Get your copy before they're gone!
