Well, there may only be a couple of Disney Adventures left, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't check 'em out. The current issue's got a one-page Wulf and Merl comic - here's the first panel:
Just for kicks, here's the first Wulf and Merl story from a few months back.
Man, I was totally just getting into the groove with Wulf and Merl. Best of luck to all the other comics artists and writers from DA - it was a fun ride.
I really hope to do more Wulf and Merl stuff in the future - keep an eye on the website.
There's a new 1-page Wulf and Merl story in the current issue of Disney Adventures - here's the first panel:
I went ahead and bought wulfandmerl.com - it's eventually going to have a little info and comics on it, but right now it's just a placeholder.
Eleanor and I are revving up for TCAF in a couple weeks - I don't think we're going to have anything new, but hopefully we'll have at least most of our minis reprinted. I'm excited to see Canada... having never been there before. I'm a little worried about coming back, though - I hear they rough you up at the border these days.
Once again I've neglected The Internet for over a month!
The rundown:
I've got a new Wulf and Merl comic in the current issue of Disney Adventures! It is a three page story, here is the first panel:
Eleanor is going to have some work in an art show at Giant Robot (the one in Los Angeles.) It's called "Panelists," and has got all kinds of hip comics artists. She's going to have a bunch of original art for sale, almost all of which was either in the most recent Mome or is going to be in the next one! You should stop by and take a look, if you're in the area! Buy something, hint hint.
Speaking of, have you seen the cover of the next Mome yet? Here it is:
It's definitely shaping up to be the year of Eleanor Davis! Grr.
We're both going to be out of the country for most of June! We're going on a walking trip in southern England! London to Winchester to Salisbury to Christchurch and back to London. This'll be the first time I've ever set foot outside of the country!
Anyway, since we obviously won't be around to be filling orders in the Little House shop, I'm going to go ahead and "close the shutters" on it till we get back. Don't worry, if you had an order in already, it'll get filled!
Hey! I'm not totally 100% sure that this is actually on the stands yet, but there's a new Wulf and Merl comic in the May issue of Disney Adventures! So feel free to browse through in the grocery aisle. This one's just a one-pager - here's the first panel:
Remember when I mentioned the McCloud clan rolling through Athens some weeks back? Well, a Winterview has finally surfaced - you can check it out here! Sky and Winter are so unreserved and charming that Eleanor and I pretty much felt like big lumps in comparison. Anyway, you can watch the interview see how boring we are for yourself. Our cat Momo pretty much steals the show. There are some shots of some of the nice crafty stuff Eleanor's made recently.
And one last bit of "news:" A couple of our comics (Blar, The Beast Mother, Bugbear) got reviewed in the current issue of the Comics Journal. The review was basically positive, but maybe a little condescending. Oh well!
On Saturday we went up to Atlanta with Devlin (the Bizarro Wuxtry guy) to see The Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3-D, with a pre-movie Spook Show. Man, they really went all out! Big "Amazon Jungle" plywood standees, paper mache monsters, makeup, the whole nine yards. The house was completely packed and in a good mood; everyone gamely shrieking whenever the "Gill-Man" showed up onscreen.
Hey! You should check out this month's "Disney Adventures" magazine, cause I've got a new monthly comic making its debut this issue. It's called "Wulf and Merl." It's a classic, fantasy-type comic about these two kids who are each the youngest in a long line of famous ancestors; Wulf from a proud family of warriors, Merl from a family of great wizards. Only, neither one of them is doing a particularly great job of living up to their famous namesakes - all of Merl's spells keep backfiring, and Wulf's folks think he's so puny they won't even let him handle a sword. So of course they each decide to set out and prove themselves, in the usual manner: Slaying fearsome damsels, rescuing beautiful dragons in distress, the works.
Anyways, it should be on the shelves at a store near you - I usually see it on the magazine racks up at the checkout stands at most grocery stores, so you could even just flip through it while you're waiting for the cashier. Or maybe you could actually buy a copy, and give it to a kid you know. Tell them to write to Disney Adventures about how great "Wulf and Merl" is, while you're at it. Tell them you'll beat them up if they don't. You totally could. You're way bigger than them.
This month's installment is a two-pager - here's the first panel:
