Evolutionary

In just a bit over 24 hours, Shannon and I will be heading out to Anime Evolution! As usual, I'll be stationed in the artist's alley, armed with the standard assortment of t-shirts, books, and original art... plus some exciting secret new products. Oooh!

Meanwhile, here on the site... you may or may not have noticed that we've temporarily taken down our t-shirt and art print shops. But don't worry! They'll be back soon... in our shiny new official Topatoco store! Topatoco has been handling all my mailing for several years already, but always separately from all their other clients. By moving into the main Topatoco store proper, we'll be able to provide faster service, quicker mailing, and a better range of bulk shipping discounts (especially for our poor beleaguered international buyers). Plus, I'll get to spend less time doing shirt inventory and more time drawing funny cartoons for you to read. Hooray!

Anime Evolution

Good news, Vancouverites... Anime Evolution is only a few days away! It's always been a great show for me, and I'm really excited to see it move into the Vancouver Trade and Exhibition Center for the first time this year. AE is the city's biggest comic/cartoon-related show by a wide margin, and I heartily recommend that any of you comic fans in the area come check it out at its new digs.

Anyhow, I'll be stationed in the artist's alley, armed with the usual assortment of t-shirts, books, and original art. I've also got a couple secret new products that I'll be field-testing. Excitement!

Sam and Fuzzy Q & A: Exploding Edition
Got a question you want answered? Just drop me an email with "Q & A" in the subject line!

"Are you planning on releasing some Fuzzy plushies? Or Conscience Cat plushies?" -Christian

I'd love to! I think Skull Panda plushes would be pretty fun, too. But they're a bit of an intimidating project... plushes have to be manufactured in pretty large numbers, and it's hard to find an outfit that can make them a) well and b) without slave labour.

Still, it's probably worth looking into. Is this something a lot of you would be interested in? Let me know!

"Whatever happened to Mr. Ackerman and Mr. Bunton?" -Edward

Mr. Ackerman retired, and passed X-Per-S Taxi on to Lance. Mr. Bunton expanded Bunton's Books into a chain of stores, and (eventually) left Alexa in charge of the original location. And Mr. Lebowski finally achieved his dream and got that double major in philosophy and interpretive dance.

Reach for the stars!

"Did Mr. Black know that Mr. Sin wasn't a man, but actually a... thing... in a robot body?" -Marvin

Absolutely. He knew about the tower and Fuzzy suits as well. I guess it's hard to keep secrets from your number two man.

That's it for this week! Have a solid weekend, and tune in on Monday for the start of our next story.
