Newsletter #45: PFT OMG
To have a great conversation you must be a great LISTENER, so none of us will be talking I guess
Okay, so normally I save this kind of thing to the end of the newsletter because of my standard shame, but this is a BIG DEAL OK??
Tonight! Jason and I are having a discussion with … PAUL F. TOMPKINS!! A lot of people say the “F” is for “Fun” but it’s actually for “Francis.” How do I know that? Well, because I’m a superfan, that’s how!!
The event is TONIGHT and it’s LIVE and FREE! So you should really sign up for it because anything can happen. Will Jason and I drone on about conveying motion in a medium made up of still images while Paul looks at his expensive watch wondering why he’s agreed to do this? Probably!
Anyhoo, Paul is wonderful and very accomplished and incredibly funny. He’s Mr. Peanutbutter AND Cake Boss, both of which sound quite delicious out of context, and he’s currently the most popular voice coming out of your phone with his podcasts STAY F. HOMEKINS and THREEDOM!
So, yeah! Come join us! Tonight!
HUH. THAT’S ACTUALLY PRETTY COOL
Yeah, I’m pretty impressive.
YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE DO WITH WHY THAT’S PRETTY COOL
Can’t you let me have ANYTHING?!
I’m also a small part of the new issue of STILLWATER, which ALSO makes me PRETTY COOL, I guess!!
It’s an issue I’ve been dying to write from the beginning! Where we get into the shit-heel Ted and what his shit-heel deal is! Ramon and Mike, as always, deliver beauty to the masses. Here’s a sneak peek!
It’s very pretty.
And hey! If you’re a trade-waiter, then there’s something for YOU this week too! DAREDEVIL VOL.5: TRUTH/DARE is out! I’ve held off on spoilers until this comes out, so boy oh boy next week I’m gonna be all about the spoiling.
There’s fun stuff in here! Matt Murdock at the mercy of the judicial system and his own guilt! Spider-Man being Spider-Man! Blasts from the past! Magical stones?? It’s a lot!
ENOUGH ABOUT YOU I’M SICK OF YOU WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING
Well! My favourite artist and Kaptara co-creator Kagan McLeod has started a new serialized webcomic called THE TENTMASTER! It’s going to be amazing, I guarantee it.
And I guess Ed and Sean have a new OGN out soon. I know what you’re thinking: didn’t they JUST have a new, highly successful book out? Yes. It’s incredibly upsetting.
In any case, the new one, FRIEND OF THE DEVIL, is on FOC soon so let your shop know to order a bunch. What’s “FOC” you ask? That means “Fresh Out of Comics,” which is the order cutoff date for stores to order them.
And because I’m a FRIEND OF THE BRU, I get a special sneak peek preview page to share with you, EXCLUSIVE to ZDARSKY.SUBSTACK.COM subscribers!
Until next week!
