Happy Holidays!
We've had a busy year with twelve (12) events and our final one happening this upcoming weekend back at Northpark Mall in Davenport, Iowa on December 7-8th, 2024. Going to be in the neighborhood? Make sure to stop by and hang with Anthony & Julie and get your holiday shopping done during regular mall hours. THAT'S RIGHT! Our two elves will be on site ALL DAY for both days.
What ugly nerd sweaters will they be donning this weekend? You'll have to cometo Davenport to find out! Below are some possibilities from last year during their time hangin' at Paladins Gate Comics in Normal, IL
On top of going to various events, we also dropped the second issue of ASININE, This Comic is ASININE Too! Through this holiday season, it will be available at locally at Acme Comics (https://www.acmecomicspeoria.com/) in Peoria, IL as well as Graham Crackers Comics (https://www.grahamcrackers.com/store/normal-il) in Downtown Normal, IL.
Won't be able to shop at these locations? Don't fret! You can still order your copies directly through our website! BUT, the variant covers are limited editions and won't last forever. They also include limited edition prints with each copy that you can only get with the purchase of this issue. Our online store and these local locations are the ONLY places these variant copies are for sale! E-comic and retail editions are in the works to be released in early January of 2025!

Printing News!
As you may recall from earlier newsletters, Anthony is working on re-releasing previous publications and new ones for 2025. Here is a brief lineup of what's coming soon:
-BLITZ HOWSER: THE LOST STRIPS
-20th Anniversary Edition of THE TEDDY BEAR CONSPIRACIES
(March 2025 release)
-Issue Three ( #3) of ASININE
(Late 2025)
After we finish up our last event this weekend, (Davenport Comic and Toy Show run by Quad Con (https://quadcitycon.com/) ) Anthony will finish the re-coloring of the Sunday strips for Blitz Howser. He will also continue work on the second part to, I WAS A COMI-CON BOOTH BABE! for the third issue of ASININE.
AND, that's not all! Anthony has already re-paginated a new version of The Teddy Bar Conspiracies with a new cover which we are revealing for the first time below:
The current edition is still available to purchase through your local bookseller but won't be around for long. It is scheduled for OUT OF PRINT status next year and we will be running a Kickstarter campaign to help fund this new UPDATED edition with extras and FULL COLOR photos! This will be a BIG enhancement as we were not able to do this with the first edition. PLUS, backers of this updated edition may even get a chance to score a reprint of the novella sequel, The Wedding of Louis and Chocolate, originally published in our Out of Print pulp replica, Superlative Tales.
Keep an eye out for more news starting in 2025!
Thank you for supporting our small business! Without you, we wouldn't be able to do the things we enjoy: Making fantastic art and telling great stories for you!
See everyone this weekend and get ready for the holidays! Next year is coming sooner that you think!
