Happy 4th of July, dear reader and supporter —
Let us hope this summer celebration isn’t the final dregs of the promise of free governance. I, Tyler, am dispatching from lovely Colorado while Trina aka @Trinscope works with her fabled fervor on the latest and I do dare say greatest pages of Gumball Man.
We are always mixing up our approach here if you haven’t noticed. We are now adding a whole new flavor with Flavor Pak Contributor Aditya Dasgupta aka @andacid attending his very first convention with me this week at the DENVER FAN EXPO.
If you’re in town, come say “howdy” between watching panels with the actors playing Captain Marvel… and Homelander… What would they think of Todd Ball? One must wonder. Hmmmmmmmm. Do you think Brie Larson will come to our table? Holy fuck! That must be how cons work! Either way I am just as excited to table with Adi and will share more on our experience after we make it through this week.
So who is this new man in your life? While we await more Gumball Man my collaboration with another incredible artist: Alina Cortez has breathed life into the next installment of the opioid awareness comic Narc(m)an® I started with Beverly Salas. I am beyond thrilled to unleash the first look at this latest version right in my hometown. BEHOLD:
This installment is actually based on a true story… sadly they all are… and we have a lot of fun collabs for Narc(m)an® being prepped to roll out later this year at LACC and some other conventions and fests.
I hope I am lucky enough to get your hands on a copy this week — but if you’d like one and can’t make the convention let me know, I might be able to send you one. This is a very special edition of this tale.
Much more to come as there is a LOT coming down the pipe for later this year… including the project Narc(m)an® sidetracked Alina and I from.
Stay safe, stay free, have a well deserved vacation!
Thank you for your support!!!!!!!!!!❤️🤍💙
