Solid!

Great review for Shuteye #4!

"This is another solid issue in this series, a bit different this time out because the tone has changed to one of constant terror ... I'm looking forward to one day putting these all together and making sense of the whole thing." -Optical Sloth

Shuteye #4: Carrefour

Shuteye #4: Carrefour by Sarah Becan
$4.00

The fourth story in Sarah's ambitious series about disorientation and the nature of dreams. Carrefour is the story of an isolated man who finds himself drifting uncontrollably in and out of a chilling recurring nightmare, haunted by a menacing figure who traverses both his dreams and his waking life. A genuinely spooky horror story, just in time for Halloween! 44 pages in a hand-silkscreened cover.

*NB: each of the (four so far) Shuteye books stands alone; the stories are connected very loosely, and can be read in any order, independent of one another. However, there are a few rewarding details for those who choose to read all of the stories in chronological order.

spxpo!

The books are shipped, the flights are booked, Shortpants's brother is even talking about picking us up from the airport. Are you coming to SPX? We'll be at booth E7 (on a corner! yay!) with many wondrous books to show you. Including one that's premiering there:

Once again, Robert, holy crud

"Robert H. Stevenson is a creative force to be reckoned with."

Such Timing

Sorry it's been quiet on the Shortpants front. Apparently either Shortpants can make comics and neglect the blog, or blog really often and neglect the comics. Lately we've been making comics.

Specifically we've been making a new issue of Shuteye. The work is done, the pages are printed, we'll be hand-silkscreening the covers this weekend in time for the book to premier at next week's SPX!

Coincidentally, yesterday we found this tidy little review of the first three Shuteye issues. It made us all blushy, so we're in a good mood and figured, hey, why not post some teaser images from the new book? (bonus points if you recognize the schmo sweeping the street outside the barbershop)
