I’m making my first-ever trip to Toronto for the Toronto Comics Arts Festival (TCAF), this weekend! It’s a free show, and everyone tells me it’s the greatest show ever…so you have no excuse! Come on out!

I’ll have all the books, all the t-shirts, and original Sheldon art (e-mail me if you have a specific one you want brought). And I’ll of course be giving out free sketches and lasting friendship to one and all!

…one caveat: This past weekend, I threw out my back…. So there’s a tiny chance I won’t be boarding that plane. I’ll know for sure by Friday: Fingers crossed!

It’s Eisner voting time! Sheldon has been nominated for an Eisner Award…and voting is now open! You’re eligible to vote if you’re a webcomics/print creator, graphic-novel librarian, editor or comics educator.

Sheldon’s “Literature” book was nominated in the Best Humor category (category 8), and I’d appreciate your support! Register to vote, or login here to vote!

Also! I’m giving out free PDF copies of the nominated book, for you to review ‘n enjoy before you vote. I don’t have the marketing reach of the big publishers I’m up against…so all I can do is let the work speak for itself. Download your review copy (11.5 MB, PDF format) here!

Quick heads up: This weekend I’ll be at the LA Times Festival of Books: Giving out free sketches, signin’ books, high-fivin’ passers-by, and just generally enjoying the gorgeous 75-degree days.

I’ll be there Saturday and Sunday with my friend David Malki of Wondermark fame! We’re at booth #871, which is really central to the whole, huge affair…so hopefully you can’t miss us. I’ll have all the books, posters, and $25-off all Sheldon original art. Oooh, but do drop me an e-mail if there’s a specific original you want me to bring out (as I can’t bring all 3,000 strips).

The Festival is outdoors at USC, and features pretty much every author you’ve ever heard of. So it’s worth coming out for a whole host of non-Sheldon-related reasons, too. So come on out!

To go along with today’s found document, it’s worth revisiting the previous times we’ve seen Tesskans:

Here, here, here, aaaaand here.

Today’s strip pretty much employs every hand-font I’m capable of, I’m noticing.

Hand-lettering in strips is one of those increasingly rare things…but I love it. Aaaand, I just need about 15 more years to master it, is all. 🙂

The alternate title for this strip could just as easily have been “6 Panels That Demonstrate How Dumb The Teenage Dave Was”.

I so rarely do autobiographical comics, but I was really struck by all the dumb bike maneuvers I have tried over the years.

Our ad slogan should pretty much be “GUYS: We’re not the brightest.”
