Howdy everybody!
I'm working to get things wrapped up for the print version of Issue #1 here… trying to get some content going for it that's a little above and beyond what you get here on the web. Hopefully it turns out to be a cool little package. Any ideas, or stuff you'd like to see in it, let me know.
SDCC is coming up in a week or two here, but I won't be there. Turns out to be an alright plan since i don't have any comics printed yet anyway! Hopefully next year I'll be there. I AM planning to be at San Francisco's APE (Alternative Press Expo) coming up here in November. I'm pretty excited about that– they've cashed my check an everything! I'm also looking to be at WonderCon there too, probably in February (a remember the time when WC was in Oakland in April). So that should be fun.
Bummed that the National League lost the All-Star game again. What's that? 12 years in a row now? Oh well, I'm a Giants fan, so I'm used to disappointment!
Finally, JAZZCOP is our second winner here, in the “Figure Out Where Matt Ripped the Names of Stuff Off Of” contest (doesn't that have a great ring to it?)! Yep, he figured out that Ogom-9 is a homage to Mogo! Who's Mogo? Well Mogo is a whole planet that is a Green Lantern (yes, another one, yet people seem to miss the two part phonetic one I've hidden).
Jazzcop is actually the co-creator of Mastorism (though the planet names and whatnot are as big a mystery to him as they are to anyone else, so it's all fair). He and I started this story about 15 years ago, which now I'm re-working for all to enjoy! I'm the one doing the comics nowadays, but he's making some pretty rad music with Cleo's Apartment (yes that was a link), so y'all should go and check that out. Good music to draw to!
Alright… next week, lets take a trip to Wog'Kee'Lo!!!!

Whew! Here we go: jazzcop - Looks like you're in it to win it! FIrst the Mogo thing, now you're the first comment! You're on fire! Cleo's Apartment is great, hopefully the link works for most people (its acting funky for me). sloo - Thanks! We needed a little comic relief, right? I think your work is brilliant, I look forward to a cover collab! DAJB - I had reservations about using the term in the first place, but "noob" has a good sound to it, and it kinda feels like one of those funny made up words like you'd find in Legion of Superheroes or something. And so true what you said... always1961 - Thanks, and you're rating worked for once! ha! Thirdteen - It might be that he's a pompous, smart-alecky narcissist... but he's OUR pompous, smart-alecky narcissist! Ha! Thanks! and thanks for checkin' out Mastorism... Ivy - Thanks! We ll See - Peter is all 'tude! Jabali - I'm excited to see it in print, myself! I'm planning on printing it at the standard comic book size. It will be available on the web. And don't even worry, you'll be getting a comp copy since you're helping me with the cover on this one! Thanks always for the kind words, and I'll be sure to report back here about how the events go! And yes... I'd like to see the NL win the All-Star game once in a while! Argh! I can at least take some solace in the fact that the Giants aren't in last place, but then again, the NL West is currently the worst devision in the entire MLB... so I guess that's not really saying much. --Thanks for reading everybody, see y'all tuesday on Wog'Kee'Lo!

Printing is always fun. What size will you print your comic? Will it be available to buy in the web? I'll love to get one copy... ok, I sounded like a fanboy, lol. I do dig your webcomic. I wish you luck in the up-coming events you're going. ... and yes, it's a 12 years streak, I read somewhere that it was record.
We ll See at 9:36PM, July 17, 2008
I like Peter's attitude!!

Don't know what it is about Peter that makes me want to smack him. Nice page.

good page...
DAJB at 11:36PM, July 16, 2008
Nice fun page! Doesn't D realise noobs are vital plot devices? How else can things be explained to readers?!
sloo at 11:26PM, July 16, 2008
Haha, page made me laugh. Great job :D And if you do a color cover, lets collab on it, for free. I can spruce it up really well. Check my Path fillers for example haha
