Mountain-Con! (oh, and you can keep pre-ordering sketches.)

Posted September 21st, 2007 by Howard Tayler

I’m at Mountain-Con this weekend. Starting now! (Well… okay, starting after I finish this blog post, put a coat of primer on a buffalo, take a quick nap, and then drive to Salt Lake City. Call it 2 hours from now.)

Busy man that I am, it’s too much work to turn off the Sketch Edition pre-ordering just now. I have that buffalo to paint, you know. Besides, Sandra’s mailbox is already full of customer support requests, and turning off sketch edition pre-ordering while it’s still in full-swing will only swamp her further.

So… keep pre-ordering sketches. We’ll leave it open for at least another 24 hours, and maybe even all weekend. That’s fair, since people at Mountain-Con can order sketch editions all weekend. Last year I drew in almost 900 books. This year my goal is to draw in a ton of books — an actual, physical ton of them. They weigh in at 1.75 pounds each, so that would be 1142.85 books. Another 300 sketch editions should just about do it.

Okay. I’m off. Where’s the paint?

    You know your cartoon’s successful when you’re measuring sketches by the ton…

    Would it be too horrendous a pun if I say “When pigs fly?”

    Hey Howard, I had an opportunity to chat with you in a panel discussion this afternoon. I appreciated your words of encouragement. I hope you have a great Con and I look forward to learning more about your comic.

    Okay – how do I order that .85 of a book?

  7. Howard Tayler Says:

    Bookworm: I’m sure there will be a damaged book in there somewhere. I’ll send you that one.

    brenatevi Just my pathetic best. After seeing Howard’s send-up of Doctor McCoy today, I’ll keep my “wit” to myself in the future.
