Kids Read Comics This Weekend!

Mission Control — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 02:00:25 +0000

Just a reminder that I’ll be at Kids Read Comics at the An Arbor District Library this Saturday and Sunday in Ann Arbor, MI. I’ll have some Ellie goods on sale, as well as a brand new little sketchbook full of all kinds of fun.

And, don’t forget, Ellie On Planet X is nominated for the Kids’ Comics Revolution 2013 Awards in the category of Favorite Webcomic! You can still vote (if you’re a kid), so head on over to the link and fill out a ballot.

Sean Murray over at Atomic Moo gave Ellie On Planet X a nice little shout out today! Go check it out. Plus, the logo is a cow/luchador, or as they call it over on the Atomic Moo blog, a Moochador! How can you not love that?

Tales Of The Brothers Three

Mission Control — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 04:37:28 +0000

To help celebrate the fourth anniversary of his comic Tales Of The Brothers Three, Joshua Hauke asked me to sit in for him this week! Go check out his amazing strip about, well, three brothers who have a bit of sibling rivalry going on while they’re out having some fun adventures. There’s monsters, dinosaurs, killer sweatpants, and even a mounted moose head that talks! As a bonus, there’s some fatherly advice from Joshua’s dad on the site as well. It’s a lot of fun and four years is enough time to get a pretty big archive going.

Congratulations on four years, Joshua!

It’s Almost Kids Read Comics Time Again

Mission Control — Mon, 27 May 2013 16:10:06 +0000

The Strang Institute is closed today for Memorial Day here in the U.S.A. – which is why there wasn’t a new installment from Ellie this morning. She’ll be back on Thursday this week. Meanwhile, I wanted to share a few things going on for Kids Read Comics, an upcoming comic event at the Ann Arbor District Library on June 22 and 23. I’ll be representing Mission Control there and will have a few things Ellie related to sell, like comics, buttons, and prints. Right now this will be the only place to get your Ellie swag (until the Institute gets an online gift shop set up).

First, here’s the bookmark I designed, featuring a new interpretation of this event in Ellie history:

Next, I’m putting together a little manga-sized sketchbook inspired by the cool sketchbooks that Chris Sanders does. Hopefully these will be ready on time as I’m still finishing it up. Here’s a spread of Ellie related stuff, but there’ll be a whole variety of fun things to look at inside.

Finally, I made up this fancy banner to hang behind the booth!

Lastly, don’t forget! You can still have your kids vote for Ellie On Planet X for Favorite Webcomic at the Kids’ Comics Revolution Awards! The winners will be announced after the Kids Read Comics event next month!

Thanks for reading and Ellie will be back on Thursday!
