Had a good but exhausting time at Comic World Seoul. It wasn’t even all that hot, but my fragile Canadian metabolism just can’t take temperatures in the high twenties or above. The team at the next table gave me a free fan because I must’ve looked like I was about to die.

Here’s Jason Burnett and me at the Polar Bear Comix table. I was honestly considering not attending the summer con, since it might kill me, but peer pressure won out in the end.

Here’s the SnowCone City sales pitch:

This weekend I’ll be heading to Comic World Seoul. I’ll be staying for both days this time. With any luck, carrying 500 books all the way across the country won’t kill me.

Comic World Busan was a blast! Once again I met a lot of great people and bought some cool comics.

The folks at the next table were team “BL”, one of whom drew an awesome rendition of Red. They were fun folks to sit next to.

Here’s a closeup of the sketch.

SnowCone City has arrived! I’ve added the book to the online shop, and there’s also an ebook version for those who need instant gratification.

Tomorrow I’m off to Comic World Busan for the big debut. Wish me luck.

A combination of events at home and work have conspired to make sure I don’t have any free time this week. At least it’s been interesting!

I’ll admit that I had some doubts about SnowCone City. It’s quite different from my usual stuff- there’s not a lot of satire, the humor is visual rather than verbal, and it’s aimed at a much younger audience. Then yesterday I sat down to read the book with two elementary school students… they were cracking up the whole time.

Now all I’m worried about is coming up with five more issues.

While writing the story, I imagine Yellow’s voice as being Tara Spencer-Nairn from Corner Gas. Red’s voice is, of course, Adam West.

I am too exhausted to write anything about today’s comic… been making pancakes all day.

We had a game of D&D at the English Commons tonight. Everybody died. Next time we may try Paranoia instead.
