The Endless Troubles of Johnny Tripod #2. Twenty interior pages of art plus covers and a free pin of either Johnny Tripod or L'Anana Francaise while supplies last.
The Premise head-shop receives a bong containing a genie and hilarity ensues.
Email me at littlefallsmets@hotmail.com with some kind of title line suggesting that it is about this, gimmie your address and I'll give you my address to which to send either a fiver in some form(three bucks for the comic, two for shipping) or your creative output in trade such as with wombles or... you know... if you'd already sent me a boatload of graphic novels as in another case.
Maybe I'll give you my parents' address upstate for sending checks or money orders in case we move back in three weeks because I am a terrible failure.

Done and done. If you got #1, I'd like that too. I don't know if that came out here when I was gone or what.
-
Number one came out in...
2003? And I don't have that many copies left, it was so long ago.
Worry not, though. While they are of a shared continuity, they are not of a continuing story. There is nothing you need to know from the first to enjoy this one.
-
Hotmail still exists? Are you afraid of google?
-
People still send money through the mail? Are you afraid of paypal?
-
People still print comics on paper? Are you afraid of the Internet?
OK, I think we're done now.
-
People still snark?

I didn't really want a copy for fear of losing the thread. I'm not expecting James Joyce all up ins.
-

Who am I kidding? I mail a check in for my car payment every month.

I pay my bills by directing thoughts at my implant.
-
I dispatched an email and did not get a response. Can I assume one will be forthcoming? Can I assume you feel I don't deserve a copy of the comic? Can I assume I should get mine from Paul?
-
I also emailed, so my guess is The Dude is processing a high volume of orders.

I hope he doesn't forget us now that he's become a big deal.
-
I was a bad listener and sent him a PM through this board instead. Also no response. Maybe (hopefully not) he's moving again?
-
I have learned from more than one person that PMs can sometimes sit unread for months. This may not be his situation, though.
-
I haven't received a response either.
Can somebody tell me again why he can't use paypal?
-
Because of an accident.

Because every time you use PayPal, God drowns a LOLcat.
-
Can somebody tell me again why he can't use paypal?
probably because of paranoia.
-
In't it kind of a documented thing that Paypal will fuck you over? I think I remember Ash having a problem with this. Or someone on the board.

Okay...
How about Amazon Checkout (https://payments.amazon.com/sdui/sdui/helpTab/Checkout-by-Amazon) then? Does anybody have a problem with Amazon?
-
I fuck*ng hate PayPal, submitted as anecdotal evidence.
-
Paypal is for shit and I'm still trying to figure out if I want you guys sending stuff to Bushwick or Little Falls...
Just give me a little longer to sort that out.
-
I want to tease you about turning immediately into Onstad and ignoring your fans now that you're getting some money, but doing it backwards and flaking out before the money even comes...
but I was worried it would sound mean instead of funny, so I am just mentioning the concept of a joke.
I can wait for the cool comic. I am cool with you making sure my money doesn't get lost in the mail/accidentally delivered to the bike-delivered artisan gochujang collective that replaces you in your apartment.

Ahem...
-
Ahem...
Yeah, PayPal sure sucks.
-
I have sent mailing information to everyone who has contacted me so far from here!
I have... seven orders. That's rad as hell. Anyone else, I now have my shit a bit more together, I know where you're gonna be mailing payment to so, like, I will respond faster.
I am new at this.
I also have five copies on the shelf at Desert Island Comics in Williamsburg and that's cool too. As my foot gets better, I'mma bug at least five or six more comic shops around Brooklyn and Manhattan. We'll see.
-
Have you sent it around to anyone who might review it?
-
I'mma want more than one copy. Also, because i happen to be in this thread right now, this goes here (sorry):

-
I... have no idea who to send it to that would review it for me?
I'm very new at this.
If anyone wants multiple copies, just mention it in the e-mail and... uhm... I don't know, maybe four bucks for additional copies instead of five because of bulk shipping?
And if anyone has ideas on how to get it to reviewer, I'm open to suggestions.
-
You don't care that Rocky digs G. Love? Because that pisses me off.
-
I didn't really get why any of them liked particular bands. Except that guy who likes the 'mats, because they are the best band.

I have done video game reviews for a site that also reviews comics (http://www.popmatters.com/pm/comics/). They love indie stuff. Let me get in touch with the editor of that department and find out where you should send it.
-
Thanks for the help, jayelle!

Not even Lucy?
-
Oh, crap! That one was out of the frame of my browser.
Most people don't know about the plotline where Lucy murders Schroeder. Controversial.
-
All the orders I have as of tonight are going in the mail tomorrow!
Anyone wants to order one, it is still totally totally possible. Just e-mail me with your address as above.
(Yesterday, I gave one to Matt Groening at a comic show and though he'll probably never read it, that's just cool.)
-
That's really cool.
-

Oh, that is cool. I gave my first book to a few writers at a mystery conference - two mostly just for networking and the third because I really like him - but stupidly passed up the chance to give one to Sue Grafton, who was the most famous person there and I've not only read all her books, I've even read her father's obscure out of print books. I'm still kicking myself. Never wimp out on those opportunities.
-
The neat thing was, like, he was just... at... this little indie comics show in Williamsburg, just there as another festival goer.
It's not like I waited in line for an autograph or paid thirty bucks or something so he felt obligated to take it, we were just shopping at the same table that sold really elaborate pop-up books.
-
Even braver of you to give it to him then. I'm getting better at that sort of thing, but it takes guts.

Fuck, he's from Portland - if you had given him mine, we could have saved the postage.
-
As much as I can be a Hamlet-type asshole about long-process decisions?
On the subject of one-action leaps to action, I can kinda be a little bit of a shameless badass.
I think it's also why I have no stage fright ever.
If I can get myself to the moment of truth, I can get things done. But months-long processes, I have problems maintaining that momentum.
I am a welder, you know, I am not a blacksmith. I can go in and be all BZZT. I am good at the BZZT of shamelessness.

Here's one (http://www.regretsy.com/2011/12/05/cats-1-kids-0/) for all you Paypal haters.
