Well, a big thanks to Rob Clough and The Comics Journal for listing my comic Morning Song as one of the top 30 mini-comics of 2011. I was on the list with a lot of great cartoonists and some really good friends. Check out the list and some of the amazing folks that make books!
This weekend is the SPX convention, and I for one am jazzed. I spent the last few weeks putting together comics and generally giving myself papercuts, gluing things where they should not go, and stapling. Lots of stapling.
I now have a ka-million copies of all my comics including a brand new set of comics, illustrations, and sketches that I like to call: Finding Moby Dick. It has enough skeletons and whales to warm the cockles of your heart.
I hope that if you attend SPX this year, you will take one look at the nominees for the Ignatz award and say, “My gosh, but I have a terrible urge to vote for Laura Terry in the category of outstanding mini-comic.” But whatever the case, there are some really amazing contenders in this category, and I am proud to be among them.
