I’ll be there. Table 97. Come on by and say hello and pick up a copy of the new Buyer Beware Comics publication Mewl #1 which will be debuting at CAKE.
Mewl is a collaboration between Chris Hoium and myself and I’m pretty excited about it… you should be too!

This 50+ page extravaganza is an experiment in that it is Pay What You Want! That’s right, no price is too great or too small to allow you to get your hands on this baby. If you don’t have much money send us what you can to the address at the bottom of this page for a copy. Conversely, if you’d like to support the arts, feel free to send more than you think it’s worth to help cover someone who sent a smaller amount. No matter what you send please include a buck or two for shipping. Also available on the small press shelves of fine comic book shops like Mavericks Cards and Comics in Kettering, Ohio.
Published by We Care Arts, this is an all ages friendly comic written by We Care Arts client Lauren Easley about a golden retriever who joins a bowling league. It’s pretty darn cute.
We Care is an art studio where people with physical, developmental or mental disabilities produce and sell artwork. I’ve been volunteering and working there for over two years and I can honestly say it’s the best thing I’ve ever been associated with. The difference this place makes in so many people’s lives is enormous.
You can purchase a copy of Striker for $3 by visiting the We Care Arts gift shop located at 3035 Wilmington Pike in Kettering, Oh (gift shop hours Mon-Fri 9am – 4pm and Sat 10am – 2pm).
Copies are also available at Mavericks Cards and Comics in Kettering or by sending payment in the mail to me at: Jason Young po box 20083 Dayton, Oh. 45420 (please add $1 for postage). All proceeds are split between Lauren Easley and We Care Arts.
Here are some samples of the book:
Hey there. Just wanted to let you all know that my computer isn’t really working right now and unless I can get it back up and running there may be a pause in my postings. I’ll still be busy filling my sketchbook with diary comics which I’ll post as soon as I can but in the interim I recommend checking out these other fine online strips by James Kochalka, Jason Bradshaw, Dustin Harbin and more.
The second image here is the beard artwork I mention in the first panel of today’s strip. It will be for sale or auction at this year’s Beard Con.
That’s right… a convention about beards! Only it’s not just about beards. It’s about artwork, crafts, food, drinks and most importantly fighting cancer. In addition to engaging in competition of the follicle kind attendees will be helping COMAPC to fight against prostate cancer with every dollar spent.
So even if you don’t have a beard you’d like to show off you can still have a great time for a good cause by attending this year’s Beard Con on October 6th at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. For more info click here.
