Vancouver Comic Arts Festival

It's here, it's here! The Vancouver Comic Arts Festival kicks off tomorrow. I hope to see many of you there. (Or at least, many of the chunk of you that live in the Greater Vancouver area!)

Now, to go get ready and help set up the exhibitor hall! Come back on Monday for the full, inevitably exhausted report, along with our next strip.

Mad dash

Things will be a little quiet down here while we all pitch in to launch this weekend's inaugural Vancouver Comic Arts Festival! There's a huge swath of awesome cartoonists coming to town -- some of whom we are housing, and many of whom I am picking up from the airport -- so it's going to be pretty busy!

But worry not... your regularly scheduled Sam and Fuzzy comics will still arrive on time! So come back on Friday for our next strip. And see you on Saturday, VanCAF attendees!

EDIT: A couple folks have asked if we were going to make the Ninja Mafia Coat of Arms into a t-shirt. I hadn't intended to, but with a couple minor tweaks I think it could work pretty well. (I’d probably using a more subtle crossed-out/written-in “help out” instead of the yellow sticky note.)

What do you guys think? Is that a thing any of you would want to buy? E-mail or tweet me and let me know!

The shouting and waving of arms commences now

Big week! Lots to talk about. Let's go!

First of all... the Vancouver Comic Arts Festival is this weekend, and it's free to attend! If you are going to be in the Vancouver area, you have to come. You also have to tell everyone you know to come. It is basically the law. Perhaps direct yourself and others to this tumblr post I made, in which I namedrop a ton of our awesome guests and give you the hard sell.

Second of all! I have completed the Ninja Mafia Coat of Arms.

This was the number-one result in our Book Club member poll to pick what our next exclusive club desktop would be, and in keeping with the theme, I have done my best to make it awesome-yet-classy.

For those who don't know how the book club works, here is the deal: when you purchase a copy of Sam and Fuzzy Are Very Famous, you don't just get a (great, heavy, enormous) book. You also periodically get bundles of free digital bonus goodies emailed to you! The next bundle emails out on June 6th, and includes the Coat of Arms desktop, the Team Fortress 2 parody desktop, and some exclusive pre-web Sam and Fuzzy comics.

If you want in on the latest pack, just make sure you place an order for your book before the 6th. And if you've already got a book, worry not... you'll receive the bundle automatically. Bam!
