Yep, there will be an official post, along with the Tiger design in the next TVB update, but this is official. that is ther next Turtle shirt. It debuted at Comic Con in a Forest green for boys and a Pink (berry) for the girls and promptly proceeded to sell out completely. I wasn't there to see it first hand because of my sister's wedding, but it's so nice to hear that people were responding well to it.

I don't have the Tiger image online yet but this prelim drawing shows you the weapon :

The final design is more animated. He's in mid throw.

How'd that go? Did the Princess Bride art go over well?

Stupid Tiger. Looking all cute with his homemade Molotov Cocktail.

Turtle shall defeat you, interloper!

I'm digging the new designs. Can't wait to see the official press. Speaking of TVB, when might the new update becoming? I'm assuming you took some time off in light of your sister's wedding and the Comic Con, but I'm just curious of an estimated return date.

Gah! I saw the Digital Pimp Banner. I started walking toward it...but then got distracted and never went back. Who knew I could have been sporting a new turtle shirt! I went through two of the original design.

Joe - it went pretty well. There were so many tables though. I felt like I didn't really get to pour 100% into those images. They came out nice, but I'm not surprised socks weren't knocked off.

Opie - tonight for sure. I hate not updateing the comics but I needed that time and I didn't want to post crap. The missing strips will be made up though over the next couple of weeks.

Styles - why not stop by? We're nice.

To be fair, no we're not.

My friend called and reminded me I needed to get to the Dark Horse booth to get my raffle ticket for the Hellboy 2 signing (I won by the way) so I b-lined for the booth which was at the front of the con. I don't think I made my way back to artists alley after that

I think I'm doing Heroes and Baltimore this year though so I'll definetly swing by at one of those if you're there

Joe... You said the shirts sold out - which is AWESOME!

Can I ask how much inventory you started with?

i watched that video, (the beginning at least) but then clicked the video of mike mignola, who goes on to say that soon he will finally finally finally go back to drawing interiors. both hellboy-verse projects and original works in the vein of screw-on head.

fuck yes.

I do have a semi amusing story:

Before the signing we were told that we weren't allowed to have personal items signed and no pics but one of the Dark Horse booth folks stealthily told us "If you have a comic or something in your hand just give it to them. They'll sign it. But try not to get something that's obviously a personal item like a poster".

Ok I thought. I had just gotten my Goon #7 signed by Eric Powell earlier that morning amd wanted Mike Mignola to sign it too.

So I handed the comic to Mike to sign when I got up to him. GDT was sitting next to him at the booth and Mike said "This has always been one of my favorite covers." GDT said "Oh yeah? Let me see that thing" and took it. He nodded his approval and proceeded to sign it. Mike looked a bit paniced and started to apologize and GDT went "Oh fuck. Did you want me to sign this? I'm sorry."

It was pretty funny. If GDT ever does the "Goon" I'm set:

I plan to just for the story behind it.

And it's true. She totally wants me.

Hey gang, NYC was kick ass! I have yet to finish unpacking, much less figure out if I even want to upload the little video that I took (especially one of Phil cuddling with his cousin at 2am after the bar, falling asleep).

But it was a blast! At one point I was 2 feet away from Stan Lee, and I got to play the Iron Man video game (it's difficult), as well as Metal Gear Online and LOST. I laughed at Rob Leifield, got hand sanitizer from the Andromeda Strain booth, and hung out with Cheecks for several hours.

All in all, it was a sweet con and I want to go back again next year.

When we die those that get into heaven will be greeted by angels in Turtle T. Turtleson shirts. For those in hell, bunnies await.
