Laugh Tracks

Ted Rall and his beard are headed to Afghanistan. Check out Rall's blog post about the trip (and his beard) here.

"Make Us Laugh in Three Words" Winner!

And the winner is...TheDLC, with "Double Complete Rainbow!"

Okay, we realize that "Double Complete Rainbow" is a bit...flavor of the month right now, but come on - Have you seen this thing? It's divine!

Once you've seen it, you can't hear the words "Double Complete Rainbow" and NOT laugh. And that's why TheDLC wins this little contest.

Thanks to all of our participants!

Bill Amend's SDCC Report

FoxTrot creator Bill Amend recaps his Comic-Con experience here. Highlights include his reflections on W00tstock and a badge mishap right before his book signing at the Universal Uclick booth...

Photos: Creator Signing Sessions at SDCC

More San Diego Comic-Con photos, as we had several creators in the GoComics booth for signing sessions last week.

Bill Amend signs a FoxTrot collection for an eager fan in a top hat.

As Glenn McCoy works on a sketch, John Glynn of Universal Uclick spots a Never-nude. He finds the sight vaguely unsettling, but cannot look away.

Radio Lalo!

Lalo Alcaraz was on LATINO USA on National Public Radio this weekend, with a nice segment about Arizona and his artistic response...listen for the shout-out to Ernesto Yerena and "Arizona Gonna Git Knocked Out!"

Listen here.

(credit where credit is due - I didn't write this. I took Lalo's informative email and changed some pronouns. Anything I might have done aside from that would just have made it boring. You're welcome, internet readership!)

La Cucaracha and Lalo's editorial cartoons are on GoComics! Read them!

Lalo Alcaraz takes San Francisco!

If you're in the area, GO! If you have any trouble with the image, it's a show on Friday (this Friday! July 30th!) from 6-8 PM at Galeria de la Raza (2857 24th St., San Francisco, CA 94110) called "Lalo Alcaraz Presente! When the Graphic Artist Defines Politics."

Comic Con Weekend

Well the dust has settled, the swords have been put away and the stars have made the trip back to Hollywood. All in all it was a fantastic week for new and old comics fans alike. For GoComics fans it was a chance to see many of the creators that they follow on a daily basis, and some walked away with great prizes.

Our grand prize winner of a framed First and Last Calvin and Hobbes was Jennifer Johnson. We saw her later lugging the prize through the Gas Lamp district but she confirmed it was worth it. Even if you couldn’t win the contest you can still get your own first and last framed print here.

The big RT Twitter contest winner was Lynn Savage who helped spread the word in the Twitt-o-sphere.

More pictures from the show are on the way, stay tuned. And a big thanks again to all of the creators who joined us at the GoComics booth and made the show such a success.
