The Eagle Has Landed
Tracy White writes re: San Diego Comic-Con:
Watch for Tranquility Base (booth #1230) where I've teamed up with four of my all-time favorite webcomics artists (Patrick Farley, Jenn Manley Lee, Daniel Merlin Goodbrey and Tracy White) to showcase our work and, well... have a place to sit! You can find us right across from the Image Comics pavillion, featuring the Flight Anthology booth (including Pants Press) and Scott Kurtz; and right next to Dumbrella and Keenspot. Y'think San Diego's getting a handle on this web thing? Sure looks like it. [This just in: You can also find Lea Hernandez at 1429!]
R. Stevens has dubbed our neighborhood on the floor as "Sexy Lagoon." Here's a map:
also be on a panel: "Friday: 12:00-1:00 24 Hour Comics. Why would a cartoonist try to create a 24-page story in 24 straight hours? Concept creator Scott McCloud (Understanding Comics ), 24 Hour Comics Day founder Nat Gertler, comics shop owner Atom! Freeman, and cartoonists Christian Gossett of The Red Star, Josh Howard of Dead@17, and Ryan Browne of 24 Hour Comics Day Highlights 2004 talk about their 24 hour comics experiences. Room 1B."

PJ Update
News from artist, musician, archivist and renaissance man Peter Jetnikoff:
I'm currently working on two graphic novels, The Island and The Coast, one a kind of sequel to the other. Both vaguely in the horror genre but more like recent Japanese films like Ringu or Kairo that anything Gothic or Hollywood.
They have their origin in a short story I wrote a long time ago which I was going to recycle as clean waste paper about two years ago. I took a second look at the old arch file I kept the story in and thought: well, I'm on holidays anyway, read it again.
It was a self-conscious bore but for the setting and the characters so I started thinking of it visually and realised that all that time I'd spent years ago had persistently left out a face-slappingly obvious element: sea monsters. So, I now had a comic that needed doing.
The Island is set the week after the end of school 1979 on Magnetic Island, North Queensland where two school friends prepare to make their farewells to adolescence, what innocence remains within them, the provincial city they grew up in, and, finally, each other, before they fight lots and lots of seamonsters.
With The Coast, I decided to take the two characters who were leaving town in the first one and plonk them on the Gold Coast for Schoolies Week 1980 where the loss of innocence happens on an epidemic scale, hearts are torn, minds lost, and spirits vaccumed out of each last partying soul, before the entire place is invaded by insane numbers of sea monsters. (Ok, the last bit there doesn't happen, but I thought, consistency and all.)
Apart from that I'm continuing on my voyage of discovery through the realm of short film scoring, having just handed one in to SBS TV and now getting through another with great promises of increased funding (which will probably just end up being a pot of beer and a packet of twisties at the pub but we must start somewhere).
Apart from that the Rouge Homme Pinot Noir has plummeted in quality since its magnificent 1998 vintage and ... Oh, crikey, who am I kidding, I work, I play, I do my laundry.

No time for night school
ok, just so you know there is actually some political dissent in the states...
WORLD WAR 3 ILLUSTRATED # 35: LIFE DURING WARTIME, $5.00
Top Shelf is proud to present the latest edition of WORLD WAR 3 ILLUSTRATED. In this issue the WW3 gang asks the question: "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?", and gets some insightful answers from cartoonists like: Sue Coe, Peter Kuper, Seth Tobocman, Sabrina Jones, Sandy Jimenez, Issabella Bannerman, Paula Hewit, Susan Wilmarth, Kevin Pyle, Christopher Cardinale, Ryan Inzana, Kate Evans and others. WORLD WAR 3 ILLUSTRATED is the longest running comics zine in history, and this cutting-edge, politically charged publication is not to be missed. Edited by Seth Tobocman, Sabrina Jones, & Chris Cardinale.
==================================================
THE MADNESS OF KING GEORGE
Friends, Enemies, Countrymen, and even Those from Lands with Sane Political Leadership,
The Comics Interpreter welcomes your bitter repudiations and denunciations of the worst President in American history. Strips, panels, brutal caricatures...draw one, draw all. And of course you need not limit your ire to Gee Dubya alone; feel free to take on any or all of his Axis of Evil as well (Blair, Condi, Rummy, Cheney, Asshcroft). Or issues: You know, the rape of the environment, the chill on free speech, the brutalization of prisoners (and Janet Jackson!), the homophobia, even the little skirmish in MeSSopotamia ("Mission Accomplished!") etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. *
Of course anyone who thinks that Bush is doing a swell job, that he in fact is the second coming of Abe Lincoln, is encouraged to submit also.
The best stuff, and there’s room for quite a bit, will run in the next ish of TCI (and perhaps some on the website as well). The issue is sceduled to come out just prior to the November elections.
Interested parties email (delete relevant spamblock) comicsmag_nospamplease_@yahoo.com for submission info. Thank you.
