Bloomington, Indiana, home of Indiana University and the setting of Dumbing of Age itself, will be my location on October 5! I’ll be signing Dumbing of Age books at Vintage Phoenix Comic Books from 5-7pm! I’ll bring a stack of them with me, of course, plus probably a few Shortpacked! book 1 reprints. If you live in or around Bloomington and wanna come meet me and maybe get a book or a sketch, I’ll be there!
I will eat at Mother Bear’s Pizza or I will die.
One last reminder: Webcomic Rampage this weekend in Austin, TX!

Hopping on a plane to Austin in just a few hours! I’ll be there, along with some of my best webcomic buddies. It’s gonna be crazy awesome. Get more information on Dragon’s Lair’s website!
I will have a bunch of Shortpacked! Book 4s with me and… three Dumbing of Age Dina hats. Just three. Perhaps their owners will be determined by brutal gladiator sport.

Dragon’s Lair is hosting the 3rd Annual Webcomic Rampage at their Austin, TX, location on December 10 and 11! If you want to get into the Q&A panels, you gotta RSVP, as there’s limited room. There is unlimited room for the buyings and signings.
Who else besides me will be there?
Danielle Corsetto of Girls with Slingshots
Randy Milholland of Something Positive
Joel Watson of Hijinks Ensue
Bill Williams of Side Chicks
Jeph Jacques of Questionable Content
Rob DenBleyker of Cyanide and Happiness
Nicholas Gurewitch of Perry Bible Fellowship
Josh Lesnick of Girly
It will be fantastic.
If you need fodder for questions, know that Joel and I will be sharing a hotel room.
Here’s one. The rest are on my Tumblr!
First of all, yay! Mid-Ohio Con is this coming weekend. Saturday and Sunday, I believe? October 22-23rd! That is good news! The bad news is Book 4 won’t be in the States quite yet. The big pile o’ books isn’t expected to reach Columbus until the first week of November… if customs doesn’t flag it for being terrorism, that is. We’ll see. But I will have Roomies! book 1 and Shortpacked! books 2 and 3, as always. I will have an extremely limited number of Dina hats. And finally more Dinobot “Honor” posters came in, so phew.
The bummer part is I have a big pile of deaths to announce! Two hamsters within the past week (mommy ham and “Pirate” ham), and on Friday my grandfather passed away after suffering from Alzheimer’s for a very long while. His body finally caught up with his mind. You’d think, since he hasn’t recognized me in about over a year, that this would be easier to handle, but it still stings surprisingly. So this Wednesday and Thursday I’ll be off in Indiana for the visitation and funeral.
We have one remaining hamster from our current batch. She used to be the most skittish and wild one, but once mommy disappeared from her cage she just sits there, depressed. We can even pet her now, which was a near impossibility before. She just takes it, like she’s given up. This is definitely not helping my mood.
Wizard World Chicago (an amazing convention) drained me of freebie Dumbing of Age bookmarks, so it’s time to stock up before the next convention. (Mid-Ohio-Con in my hometown of Columbus from October 22 through 23!) But rather than go with the old bookmarks, I decided to experiment with double-sided postcards for freebies. This way I can get more comics on there. This is good, because I don’t have many stand-alone comics anyway. Choosing two consecutive or similarly-themed comics is much easier than trying to find a solitary strip that would appeal to a random stranger.
I’ve ordered about 500 of them. Let’s see how they perform at Mid-Ohio-Con…
This required some digging, but here’s my first drawing of both Dumbing of Age Robin and Leslie, which I believe I drew while at Animefest in Dallas last year, the week or so before Dumbing of Age premiered. So this drawing’s almost exactly one year old!
I finally get to, you know, show it, now that somebody’s out of the bag.
Congresswoman Robin DeSanto in today’s strip is drawn from my memory of this sketch, and so I’d forgotten that I’d drawn her with her hair down and had given her a dress shirt and tie. Eh, no big. I like what I ended up with.
