A while ago, Brendan Adkins did this ingenious creative writing project on his Twitter account called #IsawU, in which he wrote out fake personals ads that doubled as 140 character short stories.
I was so delighted by them that I wheedled him into letting me turn them into an illustrated 16 page mini-comic! And by mini, I do mean mini. 2.75″ x 4.25″, to be exact!
You can get a copy this weekend at Table B-8 during the Stumptown Comics Fest!

Why does this only have nine notes.
I am so excited, I am screenprinting this for Dylan thiiiiiiis weekend! People will be able to buy it at the Stumptown Comics Fest on super nice Arches paper and be all “This is so fucking classy, I can’t even handle it”
Star Trek ladies!
I’ve had these sketches sittin’ on my hard drive for too long! So here, have a line-up of the major female characters from the first two Star Trek shows. I had a good time!
Pro tip!
Chris Samnee and Ben Dewey are often mistaken for one another. Now, thanks to this handy chart it will be easy for everyone to differentiate between the two!
Dewey (of the Tragedy Series) did not draw himself wearing his hat that looks exactly like Samnee’s, which is something that happens in real life. Observe a party they both attended last summer:
THIS GUIDE IS NEEDED.
Oh my goodness, out of the 16 screen prints I made and yesterday put up for sale, I only have two left today!
Limited edition of 16 hand-pulled screen prints by Erika Moen.
10” x 10”, silver ink on indigo blue 98lb, acid free, Canson paper
The edition number, title, year, and artist’s signature is hand written down in peach colored pencil along a bottom edge of each print.
Would you like to own one of the final two? Then click’a right here’a.
Oglaf by Trudy Cooper is close to my golden ideal in comics. Fun, sexy, clever, and lovely to look at. It’s sassy and sometimes silly, but always adult.
When I first started making my dirty comic Small Favors in the early 2000s, one comment I heard a lot was “You don’t usually think of a woman making porn comics”, and another was “Oh! This is actually a lot of fun! What a surprise!” A decade later, thanks to women like Trudy Cooper, Erika Moen, Jess Fink and many others, I never hear that first comment, and it’s not a surprise any more!
We live in a world where blood and horror are considered appropriate for general audiences, but flash a nipple, and you’d think from the cries of outrage that Satan had just been handed the keys to the puppy farm. Comics like Oglaf exist to turn that world on its head , and we’re all richer for it.
You guys, my awesome friend Dylan Meconis has finally released this set of prints from her Goddess Series!
Look how pretty they are! You need these.
Also note: Dylan typically sells her prints for $15 a piece, so the fact that she’s selling this four print set for $40 means you are actually saving $20!
The last names of a couple of the creators are wrong (Married or otherwise =P) But here is the cover bitches. Sairobee is our cover artist and that makes me joy pee a little bit whenever I think about it.
Yaay! I am so excited for this book to come out!
