Flex Fantastic in book stores!

Well, okay - actually the first issue is in only one book store, but so what? It's in a book store! And so is Chew's special issue of Hairball, a comic about pirates, a moose and other tall tales of comical insanity. Special thanks to Robert at Bizarro Wuxtry in Athens, Georgia for taking the time to talk to us, buying our books and allowing us to have our books prominently displayed. If anyone is near the Athens area, stop by Bizarro Wuxtry and buy a book. It's a great store full of little comic gems and really rare and bizarre finds. And while you're at it, check out their music store, which is right below the comic book store and right across from Tasty World where Fluke 2009 was held (that's three shameless plugs - phew). Chew and I also fully endorse the little Italian Bistro that's located just one block away. Food's a little pricey, but they have really good eats. Fresh pasta, fresh bread, great view from the second floor and they have really good espresso. That's all from our recent trip to Athens ... more blogs very soon.

Flying to the vet ...

The very first panel of the glorious and infamous Flex Fantastic Comic: Doggone Troubles Part One in full color. We ended up using this image as a poster for our table at Fluke. Book Two is in progress and Chew just finished a very disturbing close-up of a villain named ... The Snoz. It puts his rendition of Princess Bertha (please see the earlier "How ah Met Your Mother" posts) to shame. I imagine we will post something new from the second issue of Flex on this blog soon. I'm thinking perhaps an entire sequence instead of just one panel. What scene? Just wait and see ...

And so it begins...

...Mmmuargh har har har hahahaha! Welcome to Globster Press. It's our own little publishing imprint! Yep. Just some guys tryin' 'ta make comics. We will use this blog to update everyone on our projects and convention appearances. We'll show you the process, the ideas, the arguments, the injuries and all the other good stuff that goes into our books. We'll try to keep a regular schedule for our posts so check back often!

Here's some info about us. Globster Press is currently comprised of Chew and myself, Jeff Tuffenstuff. We both have day jobs --in fact, we actually work together--and in our very limited spare time we try to make comics. Chew and I will take turns updating and we will sign each post accordingly--everyone will see why in the near future.

We finished our first book, Flex Fantastic, and displayed it at Fluke, a mini/indie comic convention located in Tasty World (Athens, Georgia). Our table was five bucks...and for anyone wanting to do this...Fluke is a great place to start. We met some really nice people there--including the Seqalab crew from SCAD, who were nice enough to feature us on their podcast. Fluke is a really interesting con. There is none of the crazyness that surrounds the bigger cons. No Klingons. No Body Builders. No Over-The-Hill Actors. No Jedis. No Cosplay. No...well, you get the idea. Just a bunch of geeks an nerds (I'm one too, by the way) that are really into the alternative press or who...well, just don't know any better. Chew and I had a blast and were able to sell a few books and prints. I've posted a few panels from the book and we'll explain our process in the next few posts. Until then...Happy Easter and...

May the awesome power of the globster corrupt you all!

(and if anyone thought that was lame, just wait...I've got a thousand of these coming your way)
