Wondercon is this Weekend!
February 20, 2008

Hey folks,
Just a reminder that Wondercon is coming up this weekend in San Francisco!

WonderCon celebrates its 22nd year as Northern California's most popular comics and pop culture event with a return to Moscone Center South on February 22-24, 2008. The February date solidifies WonderCon's status as the first major convention of the year in the United States.

Again, I'll have a table there in Artists Alley, so look for me at Table AA-55. And on Saturday, I'll be participating in a panel spotlighting Bay Area artists:

SATURDAY, FEB. 23, 2:00-3:30pm-The Cartoon Art Museum Presents: Spotlight on Local Cartoonists:

San Francisco has been a hotbed of cartooning for over 100 years, and that tradition continues today with the Bay Area's vibrant creative community. Join panel moderator Andrew Farago (Curator of San Francisco's Cartoon Art Museum) as he interviews six of the Bay Area's most talented cartoonists: MariNaomi (Estrus Comics), Fredo (altgeek.net), Lloyd Dangle (Troubletown), Justin Hall (True Travel Tales), Debbie Huey (Bumperboy) and Michael Jantze (The Norm). Room 232/234

More info about Wondercon and all its programming at: wondercon.com.

And here's a picture of the 2nd reprint covers of First Day of School. Yep, they look a bit different because now they use green ink on yellow paper!

See you at Wondercon!

Review for Bumperboy Learns How to Ride a Bike
August 21, 2007
Scott Tingley from "Comics in the Classroom" just posted this review of my latest Bumperboy minicomic, Bumperboy Learns How to Ride a Bike!

Interview with Comic Talk Cafe
August 9, 2007
I did several audio and video interviews at San Diego Comic-Con, but I'm not sure if all of them are online yet. Here is the first that I've been notified about: Podcast Interview with Comic Talk Cafe. We conducted this interview directly after I participated in a Kids Comics Panel, and it was a bit noisy in the hall that we were standing in, so the audio may be a little choppy at times. But all in all, I think the interview went well!

New Minicomic and San Diego Comic-Con!
July 17, 2007
Hey folks, there's a new Bumperboy story out! It's a brand new minicomic called Bumperboy Learns How to Ride a Bike! Follow Bumperboy on his embarassing quest to learn how to ride through crazy obstacles, including the dreaded Hugga Hugga Bear! The book will be debuting at the San Diego Comic-Con, but if you can't make it to the convention, you can always order it from the Bumperboy Shop!

If you're thinking of attending the San Diego Comic-Con (July 26-29), be sure to stop by at the Bumperboy booth in the Small Press Pavilion, table #O-16! I will be making appearances at a couple other spots around the con too! On Friday, July 27, from 4-5pm, I will be sketching and signing at the Cartoon Art Museum booth, E-11. And on Sunday, July 29, from 1-2pm, I'll be participating on a panel that features some of the greatest comic artists working on comics for kids today:

1:00-2:00 What's Happening in Kids' Comics Today? Some of the most creative work in the industry is being done in kids' comics. Svetlana Chmakova (Dramacon), Jimmy Gownley (Amelia Rules!), Debbie Huey (Bumperboy), Kazu Kibuishi (Flight, Amulet), George O'Connor (Journey into Mohawk Country), and Gene Yang (American Born Chinese) talk with moderator Dave Roman (Nickelodeon) about the importance of kids' comics - and the fun they have creating them! Room 8

Hooray! Bumperboy and the Loud, Loud Mountain was named to Booklist's 2007 Top 10 List of Graphic Novels for Youth! Click here for the rest of the list!

From Booklist:
