Meanwhile… Desi’s Throuple

National Cartoonists Society

I was floored to find out that I had been nominated for Best Online Longform Comic by the members of the National Cartoonists Society. This is my second nomination in two years, and I'm overwhelmed by the honor!

Also nominated this year are two powerhouse cartoonists. Jason Chatfield is a New Yorker cartoonist whose longform comic "You're Not A Real Parent Until..." started as a special feature at The New Yorker's website. It reassures all parents that everything’s going to be totally fine — whether it’s accepting dried vomit as a constant presence or learning to fear silence!

Evan Dahm's Third Voice is a tour de force of visual storytelling. The story is an ambitious fantasy graphic novel following wandering scavengers in an ending world. Spondule and Navichet are set in "an invented world in a state of apocalyptic crisis, and the precarious lives of many people therein."

Kickstarter update

Thank you so much for your outpouring of support for my Kickstarter campaign! I’m really excited to be so close to funding so quickly! A few of you have asked for an option to buy all eight books and get all eight PDFs. It’s something I should have thought about to begin with! But it’s an easy fix, so if you were someone who wanted that option, it now exists! EIv8_Kickstarter_chart_NEW
Also… I originally set a limit of 25 for the package of all eight books, but that limit got met so quickly that I realized I may have underestimated the demand for this reward. So I’ve re-set the limit for 50. If you wanted all eight books — but were prevented from ordering it due to the limit — you’ve got a second chance! Thanks again for your encouragement and support. If you haven’t shared your support of this campaign through Twitter/Facebook/Tumblr/etc., please consider doing so. It really helps! Here’s the URL to link to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/guigar/evil-inc-annual-report-vol-8 We’re past the halfway point, and quickly getting to the point of Stretch Goals. If you have an idea for something you’d really like to see offered through this campaign, please don’t hesitate to drop me a line! I’d be thrilled to hear your ideas!
