Con was FUCKING AWESOME. Also I'm back in New York- my internship is sadly over. I'll have a better report on all that stuff up soon- I just wanted to get the post announcing "Comicon! It's comin' up" off the top of the blog. So, yes.

Comicon! It's comin' up. On Tuesday Kris and I are heading out to San Diego! Here's what's going on:
I'll be wandering around with flyers and hanging around the Halfpixel booth (2107!), so stop by and see me! I'm dying to meet you guys (really!).
Here's the crazy exciting part- When you get to booth 2107, you can buy a Good Crook minicomic or some of my original art! This is the first time I've tried to sell any of my work so I'm really excited and a little nervous about this. The minicomic has the first twelve pages in grayscale, with many of the panels redrawn to not be so terrible. You're basically getting brand new, never before seen art which you won't find online! Of course you can also get that if you want to grab one of the Good Crook original pieces, which are one of a kind. I'm pretty happy with how they came out and I hope you'll like them too.
Also get some Starslip stuff too, it's pretty great. There's gonna be a whole bunch of awesome stuff going on and we've been getting ready all week, so I hope to see you there!
Also- I've also put up a new page in the Extra Comics section, which you might like. The comics that are up there are all little stories about the Good Crook characters that don't directly relate to the main plot, but I hope they add a little something after you've read them. This one is no exception but its probably the most direct "prequel" so far.

When I was a kid, probably eleven or twelve, I bought an Adam Sandler comedy cd. My dad immediately gave me a copy of George Carlin's You Are All Diseased, saying that if I was going to listen to that kind of thing, I might as well listen to the good stuff. From that point on, George Carlin was my all-time favorite comedian.

George Carlin passed away yesterday and I just wanted to write a little bit here about what he meant to me. What does this have to do with The Good Crook, you ask? Well, George Carlin's bit about how he prays to Joe Pesci (because he looks like a guy who can get things done, and the results are the same anyway) was a big part of what got me interested in mafia movies in the first place.

I'm still a little shocked about this. RIP, George. In one of his routines, he said he believes that when people die, they go wherever they think they're gonna go. I hope he thought he was going somewhere good.

Remember when I said I was gonna put up a forum? I totally wasn't lying. There's a link to it up now, and I've started a couple of (hopefully) fun threads! Please come hang out with me there. It's up to you guys to make this not suck.

Hey guys! Guess where I am right now. Okay, I'll just tell you- I'm in Dallas Texas, working with Kris Straub (and Erica Stephens) of Starslip Crisis! I have a blog post over there about it and there will be a few more over the month and a half I'll be here. Starslip is also one of my favorite comics so check it out if you haven't already. I'm learning tons about the webcomics business, and hopefully I'll use it to make this site and this comic better. Everyone wins!

Also, I'll be with Kris and some of the other Halfpixel guys at SDCC, so come visit me! This will be my first time actually working at the con so I'm really excited. See you there!

Hey guys! A few quick things-

Site updates: I've made some changes to the cast page. Check it out if you're interested in that kind of stuff. I'm gonna be fixing up most of the "extras" pages over the next week so they match the rest of the site, especially the "about" page which has been down for a little while. So NOW YOU KNOW.

Forum: I'm ... thinking of putting one up...? There's nothing sadder than a forum with no posts, but I think there's enough of you guys around by now to make it worth the risk. So... y'know, look for that. In the meantime, you can follow me on Twitter if you want!

Cons: Again, I'm gonna be at MoCCA and SDCC. So say hi! I'm told I'm a very nice person.

There's more big news coming up, but I'm not sure when to talk about it. Stay tuned!

It's my brother's birthday today. Happy birthday, Delaney!

Right now I'm excited because I'm done with school on Wednesday. I have to pack up all my crap by then. Wish me luck.

I'll be at Mocca this year, and also SDCC. For Mocca I'll just be wandering around, possibly with my mom, so I guess say hi if you see me? Seriously e-mail me (magnoliaporter@hotmail.com) if any of you guys in New York want to meet up there (Hi, Mary!). Unless you're crazy murderers. Anyway, it's gonna be awesome.
