I read 3 really solid books that came out today, and one that was okay.
Nobody wanted to talk about them
Doesn't seem like a big week for anyone tbh

That's it. This must be how Kipp feels every day. Also, god dammit, looks like the Death Vigil litho got pushed back to August 5th.
But when I got home I FOUND SDCC BISHOUJO RED SHE-HULK-CHAN WAITING FOR ME OMFG AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE HER AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH
I bought 10 books

Also, read Southern Bastards vol 1 earlier. That was really good. I did not see the ending coming, but after contemplating a bit, I suppose it makes sense.
That is slow.

I loved the original green version, but the angry face resculpt on this one turned out amazing.

I spent too much on comics/manga in the last three days. I feel a bit ill. But at least I filled in a lot of stuff from my to-buy list.
(No floppies though).

Super excited to check it out. Can it fit into a potato launcher?

Don't mistreat your waifus, Zombeen-san.
Dead Yamcha is the one true waifu, and that won't be in until October.

That figure still makes me laugh.
Not really. I tried baking my own once and it was OKAY and i off the novelty of Boston Market corn bread, too sweet.
I think i'm going to read the first issue of Hellboy library vol 1 tonight, tune in to see if i hate it. Also, i'm tired of thinking about statues and figures that are months to years from releasing, this is worse than video game waiting as i'm accustomed to that.

Huh that's interesting. I'll have to try this. Cornbread and grits are like one of our staples.

My boss said she liked the idea of me continuing to write up sponsored posts and other offers like that (since that's the main part of my job currently) on my own time for a flat fee after I stopped working for her as a traditional employee. Just told her I believe $100 would be a fair fee (I gave good reasons for this). They usually take like an hour and a half to do, so if she says yes this could be sweeeet.
If I got 5 or so posts to write a week, I'd be making almost the same amount as before, but working WAY less hours (probably no more than 10 hours per week), and I wouldn't have to go into an office, and I could work whenever I wanted, and I wouldn't have to deal with the stress of my boss constantly asking me to do little tasks since I'd just be doing one task and that's it.
I told her she didn't have to give me an answer write away if she needed to think about it and she said "ok. I'll let you know"
*crossing fingers*

I'll do it for 90. What's your boss's email?
That's extremely disappointing
I loved the original.Decided not to head out to the LCS today, just felt like I'd be wasting too much time on the road. Ordered Fables and some other stuff through IST instead.
I think Green Lantern Omnibus by Johns Vol 2 is out next week too, right?
Ssshhhhhh.
But real talk, I'm expecting/hoping for $90. She's cheap, so there's no way she wouldn't try to bargain with me, which is fair enough.
Not to count my chickens before they hatch or anything, but if my boss agrees to this, between that and my new job and even if I quit my retail job, I'd be making gooood money. AND I wouldn't be working insane hours. Like, I'd probably be at 45 hours or so and would make around $10k more than I make now working 60 hours.

If you wanted to get $100, you should have said $140.

Not bad for $55. This book and other orders arriving next week means I need more shelves. Time for a Swedish Meatballs Ikea trip.
I feel like with her, asking $100 is already pushing the limit. If I had asked anything over $100 she probably would've straight up said no. Plus I wouldn't have been able to justify $140 very well, but $100 was justifiable.
Woo! Nice. Such a great run/omnibus.

That extra $40? Oh, that's the Kipp tax.
Or more like the tax tax, since I get paid through Paypal and need to file my taxes the hard way rather than them coming out automatically..
Don't worry we'll get more Ennis Punisher eventually.

Just tell her to send it through Paypal as a gift.
Why are you trying get Kipp audited?
Oh yeah! Forgot to mention it, but I totally dig it too.
Do you have a higher resolution scan of it somewhere so I can take a better look at it?
I'm actually going to be paying my taxes because I'm not about that avoiding-taxes-lifestyle, but my boss straight up told me during my interview how to avoid having to pay taxes due to how they were paying me. I was just like "Uuuuh okay thanks"

when I crush your comics industry and comics are not read
know that they are not read with 14 billion eyes
when comics are not bought
know that they are not bought with 7 billion wallets
Thanks bud. Im not terribly happy with the jaw/teeth but Im ok with it overall!
Mignola makes me want to totally change how I approach my work.
Toppi makes me reconsider my approach to drawing
Marcos Martin makes me feel silly for
This happens more often than Id like haha

It was just a quick sketch drawn at 600 x 720 I think
Im not sure why, but the reds and blacks in the image do not compress well when it was made in to an avatar
I'm frugal, but not so frugal that I won't pay my dues. Haha
Besides the teeth and jaw which I'd have to agree are slightly off, that is absolutely BRILLIANT. Seriously amazing work, Ed. And that's saying a lot, since Mignola's Hellboy design is my favorite character design ever.
I'm going to go see Pokey LaFarge in San Francisco tonight and I'm super stoked about it! I've been trying to see him and his band live since I heard his set at the Newport Folk Festival in 2010, thanks to NPR's streaming of that festival every year. If you're into old-timey music, there isn't much better than this.
Unfortunately, this means no time for comics until Thursday.
