No, not Japan… someplace much closer (if you live in SoCal, that is).

So, what’re you doing the day before the Super Bowl? Well, if you live within 400-500 miles of San Diego, you OUGHTA be at Rising Sun Creations for an in-store book signing! It’s true! Fellow cartoonist/comics creator Ryan Claytor and I will be hanging with you aficionados Saturday, Feb. 2. Come on by and let me personally sell you a Hodabeast!

Here’s the poster Ryan Claytor and I whipped up to pimp our in-store signing.

There’s only two reasons why you shouldn’t be there, and that’s if you’re dead or in jail. And if you’re in jail, BREAK OUT!

* Rising Sun Creations (1620 Camino de la Reina, suite D, San Diego; 619.291.5264)

Mark your calendars, crew! On December 10, 2005, I’ll be at Comickaze (5517 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., San Diego) with three other local heroes of the San Diego indy comics scene… like a nano-comic-con! From 1-5pm, we — Ryan Claytor (Elephant Eater Comics), Shana Manion (Miss Anthropy), and Josep Blas (Space Punks) — will be spreading the gospel of our cool comics and meeting with our local fans. And, as you would expect, we’ll be peddling our wares. Just in time for the holidays, too!

Speaking for myself, I’ll have swell Cool Jerk and Doc Splatter T-shirts for sale, plus ashcan Cool Jerk sampler books and lots of free shwag.

Come one and come all! Be there AND be square!
