. . . And we're back! HI all my buddies! (yes that's a quote from Thrilling Adventure Hour's Jib Janeen, who I'm obsessed with)
I'll be staying local for the next few months, which will be a good thing for Bonnie updates. If you want to read a wee bit (and see pretty car pictures) of what I was up to the last couple weekends, click here to visit ZE BLOG!
The updates are a little staggered this week as a result of ALL THE TRAVELING (Monday I was in Boston, tomorrow I'll be in California!) but rest assured there will be TWO! One may appear on Friday . . . or tomorrow . . . if there's one thing I like, it's keeping my loyal readership on their toes. :)
Thanks to everyone who came out to Boston Comic Con this weekend! It was way too fast and furious a trip - I need to spend more time actually exploring the city, but since my route home was a lot less punishing than my ride up had been, you can bet I'll be back!
And we're back! . . . With kind of a tense moment, sorry guys!
Click here to go back to the last "in continuity" strip to catch up on the last thing that happened before our fab guest strips landed. Just one update this week, for I will BE AT BOSTON COMIC CON THIS WEEKEND, hoorah! I've never been to Boston before, so I'm really excited to see the sights and hang out where my grandmother was born and raised. McArthur Pride! Also, I'll be tabling/staying out with my favorite cohort TIM FISH, so please do come visit us at D-323 and 324 on Saturday n' Sunday! (the con is Friday too, but for me that's a driving day)
GUEST STRIPS WEEK THREE!
This one is pretty amazing - the story of how Herb & Harold met! I love how debonair Herb was, even in 1990. He really escapes all the typical bad werewolf fashion traps.
Strip courtesy of Danyell Thillet, of the comic Sorry, I Was Just Talking to Myself! Be sure to check out Danyell's webcomic and say hello in the comments below! :D
This is the last of the epic guest strip one (unless I get a submission in the next couple of days - which I'm not opposed to!). This has been SO much fun for me to see the characters through other people's eyes. Plus it lets me know how clever *gulp* all my readers are! No pressure for me …. :D
GUEST STRIPS WEEK TWO continues!
Herb and his managerial advice! Also, a little bit about some of the things he and Bonnie have in common - like being adorably terrifying :)
Today's half-week strip is from Jon Eaton, of the webcomic This is 65! Jon's another Bmore local, who's exhibited at a bunch of our Bmore Into Comics and ALSO has a podcast where they do fun things like review movies and read aloud chapters of Goosebumps. Make sure to check out Jon's webcomic, podcast, and leave him some howdy's in the comments below! :D
GUEST STRIPS WEEK TWO!
This gorgeous little ditty is from Michael S. Bracco! I've known Mike for years as one of the friendliest, MOST prolific Baltimore comickers (he's also in Super Art Fight and has been one of our exhibitors at Bmore Into Comics), and he's got a NEW webcomic called Creators!
A Fran strip! I love the movement and the way he captured Fran's inner, hidden fierceness. Make sure to check out Mike's webcomic, and leave him some howdy's in the comments below! :D
GUEST STRIPS DAY TWO!
The credit for this one goes to Matt Van Dinter!
This one is a special fave of mine, since it features the faces and personalities of all Bonnie's coworkers. Check out Matt's stuff here, and give him some love in the comments below!
GUEST STRIPS BEGIN!
And since they're amazing, I'm giving each one half a week, as opposed to just a few days. :)
First up - JOSH WINTHROP!
You may remember Josh for his fabulous fan art a couple years back - Bonnie + road treads = oops. I especially love this because never once have I thought to put Herb in a cone head! Genius. Thanks Josh! Check out his awesome webcomic The Heroes of Crash here!
Grown-ups still totally use the term "like-like" when describing someone they're interested in, right? And hip people use the term "milquetoast", too?
So next week begins some GUEST STRIPS! I have enough for a couple weeks, but I'm super interested in more if any of you out there wanna draw Voluptuous Bonnie, Dapper Herb, Awkward Stuart, Supervillain Cheryl, etc. Click here for the deets!
Awkward Twinsies!
AW YEAHHHHHH.
The winner of the Summer Swimsuit Special Edition Print Spectacular is HERB!
The dapper werewolf is sporting some very vintage, but still fashion-appropriate duds to ring in the summer cheer. Also, he has a lime margarita, which never goes out of style.
Yay Herb! Thanks to y'all for voting!! It was super super close. Bonnie came in 2nd place, but she already has her own Summer Swimsuit Print.
This print will be available all summer long! And if you get something else in my shop, you can have it for FREEEEEEE.
... That moment when you're wearing your mustache-bleaching strips.
Guest Strip Summer! Beyond the magical Summer Edition Swimsuit Print that I'm currently working on, I'm also looking for guest strips! I've already received a few AMAZING ONES I can't wait to show you, but since I'm lazy I'm in need of more! If you're interested in drawing Bonnie/Herb/Fran/Mimi/Cheryl, Check here for the deets!
The survey results are in! Stay tuned for the winner and their Special Summer Swimsuit Print! EEEE! Thanks everyone for voting. :)
Also, it's GUEST STRIP TIME! That's right, I'm looking for people who are willing to draw Bonnie (or Herb or whoever you please) for an upcoming strip! Check here for the deets!
"Seven Habits of Highly Stealthy People". Also, it's GUEST STRIP TIME! That's right, I'm looking for people who are willing to draw Bonnie (or Herb or whoever you please) for an upcoming strip!
The survey is officially closed!
Alright folks - looks like Bonnie's in the lead! Act fast if you'd rather see someone ELSE (*cough*HERB*cough*) in their bathing trunks for my super special summer print! (I did get a vote for Herb sans speedo, which I may take into consideration)

Bonnie N. Collide, savior of derby egos everywhere!
(Also, I'd say if you're even attempting to skate backwards and not falling on your ass, you're doing it successfully.)
Awwww yeah, Fran's wearing a Maleficent shirt! I finally got to see that this weekend, and although there were a lot of embarrassing plot holes and Disney-isms (and part of me just wanted her to murder everyone all the time), it still added to the Maleficent Mythos. Which we can never have too much of!

Skating from rink to carpet is something I STILL psychologically can freak myself out about.
OTHER NEWS - didja know my other webcomic (the one about Greek Gods n' college kids) started up again last week? And I'm throwing a sale in my shop to celebrate?

Hey local peeps - I'll be at LadyFest Baltimore this Saturday at The Wind-Up Space with all my wares and prints and sketches! Come say howdy - looks to be a really neat, supportive, YAY LADIES show!
