Bonnie N. Collide, Nine to Five #412

I'm still out in the UK for a bit, but here's a new Bonnie for ya! And a huge, big shoutout to all the folks who came and chatted with me and shared their derby stories with me this past weekend at Thought Bubble!! It was such an unexpected warm welcome and I apologize for squealing every time someone said they'd read my comic. What an amazing show and so much positive energy swirling about (enough to keep everyone cheery amidst gray weather and flooding!) Also big shoutout to amazingly fun table neighbors Danny NobleMatt Boyce, and Pablo Ientile! Great comics + great banter = convention magic!

Meeting all SORTS of women different from me was one of my favorite things about derby. Oh and HEY - fun fact - Facebook told me yesterday it's been SIX years since I first made it on to my roller derby league! I can't belieeeve it's been so long. And of course, I was only on the league for a year and a half BUT STILL! Aw, I miss it so much.

Once again, I'll be in Leeds this weekend for THOUGHT BUBBLE! I'm super excited slash nervous slash not sure at all what to wear/bring, but I'll be there! Table 69A in Royal Armouries Hall. I'll have copies of my Oni books that I reeeeeally won't want to try to bring back home, so if you're a UK fan of mine, please do say hi, I'd love to meetcha!

HAYYY everyone! I'm back from NYCC and still pretty blitzed, but here's last week's 2nd Bonnie! Since I didn't get it up before the FOUR DAY CON MEGA COMICS HAPPY TIRING AWESOMENESS of the weekend, there'll be three strips this week! I'll be sharing all the sketches I did this weekend in a bit. A big HOLLAH to everyone who came by the table - you guys were awesome, and really made my weekend!

Aw, Fran's moment. Her MOMENT!

Not sure if Slam is groaning because of Bonnie's joke or because she still insists on saying "WINK" WHILE winking. SOOO this week is NEW YORK COMIC CON!! I'll be at table BB15 in Artist Alley, unless I'm at one of these things: Thu 3:30-4:45 & Sun 11-12:15 Signings at the Oni Press Booth, and Fri 1:30-2:30 Kickstarter 101 Panel: An Intro to Funding Your Dream Comics Project in Room 1A24. :) Come say howdy!

BONNIE RETURNS and we're at strip #400! Ever since watching Mad Max, I feel like the "pressing forehead" move is especially touching. Furiosa does it when she reunites with her long lost kin, and then the other day while on my way to work, I saw a rockabilly dad press foreheads with his son to say goodbye. Both situations -- almost cried. It melted away allll my morning anger.

So hey - anyone who's coming to NEW YORK COMIC CON next week, come visit me! I'll be at table BB15 in Artist Alley, and on a Kickstarter Panel on Friday from 1:30 - 2:30! Plus, next Thursday is my birthday so you can come by and say what my brother says to me every year: "HAPPY OLD". :)

I always prefer to aim low so that I'm PLEASANTLY SURPRISED if I do a decent job. ;) Hey THANKS EVERYONE who came out to see me this past weekend at Baltimore Comic Con! I always love getting to chat with peeps about my comics - hopefully that's not TOO self indulgent! Especially loved how many people came up to me and said "Stuart, nooooo", heh heh. And I can hardly believe it but NEW YORK COMIC CON is next week and I'll be there, so you can yell at me about Stuart there, too!

***ANNOYING WEBSITE ISSUE - I don't know why it's not letting you view strip #398 at the moment, but click here to see the image itself, and then proceed to Strip #399. Sorry for the annoyance!

MOAR FUN YESSSS. Though this may have to be the last time Slam is shirtless and I have to draw all his GODDAMN TATTOOS. (just kidding, I love them)

THANKS EVERYONE who came by and visited me at SPX last weekend! AGH that's such a good show, such a good vibe, so many cool people! And all you locals better GIRD YOUR LOINS for Baltimore Comic Con THIS weekend! I don't know why all the local comics have to happen back to back, but I'll be there and ready for it!

SECRET AGENT pillow talk. Alllll secrets, no info!

I will be at THE FABULOUS SPX this weekend, which as always is a treasure, since it was my first convention and the one I've gone to the most AND near my hometown!
