Brian, I have enjoyed following your blog for quite a while. Your inks are solid and you writing is quite good. So, I’ve nominated you for a “One Lovely Blog Award.” To read the nomination blog, go to this link: http://ourprocess.wordpress.com/2012/05/20/one-lovely-blog-award/
What a way cool blog. Look forward to chatting with you sometime over the comment section and such.
Thank you for following. I find your cartoons very appealing! 😀
Alaska is beautiful…beware the mosquitoes! 😉
I wanted to let you know that I have set up your publication to be reviewed in the NEXT issue of Indyfest Magazine. You can view the listing, and make sure I have things right as far as who did what and where to send people to buy it here:

We would love it if you would consider opening an account with Indyfest, we are building networking tools (you get your own facebook-like page and can build friends lists, etc) as well as working with other companies like King Chan’s Comics Underground Distribution, and we’re working on setting up printing. You can open up your own store in our system and sell PDFs and copies direct, while being linked in to the global cart and publicity system. Feel free to ask questions either direct to me, or in our forum. Use the top/left Indyfest navigation drop-down to see all the hubs of activity we have set up.
Hey,
Somebody handed me your 25th anniversary newsprint edition on the street in Columbus, OH. I really enjoyed it – thanks for doing cool things.
Thanks,
Bryan
I appreciate your kind words of support and am glad you liked my comic tabloid as well.
