Brazilianoir!  That’s right, you heard it here first (or maybe here).  Emily Stackhouse and Nicholas Shahan’s  first mini comic, Brazilianoir, brought home the gold for Outstanding D.I.Y. at Stumptown Comics Fest 2009.

Thank you Portland for sharing your love!

I originally wanted to write a recap of my 2009 WonderCon, but I just can’t get into the details.  It seems if I focused on the specifics (like the fact that Mike Mignola’s table was two tables away from our own!) I’d be missing the big picture of WonderCon.

WonderCon 2009 is fast upon us and you can bet your bottom dollar that the dames and gents of Writers Old Fashioned will be there in tip top form (don’t make a liar outta me, boys)!  We’ll be slinging our comics until the whiskey runs dry or they kick us out, whichever comes first. This is just a reminder post but there will be more to come as the weekend gets closer.  That’s two months to pull yourself out of bed, write something, and slap it together, ok?
