Us In Print.

By -


The booklet is being printed this week. This means that seven of our ten artist members will be appearing in print, most for the first time. Sure, it's just a small promo booklet, and it's in black and white, but still, there's 1500 of them being printed and as mentioned before, they'll be distributed in the Striptas on the Str!pdagen. I have the test print lying around in the house right now, in fact, and despite several points of perfectionism that annoy me, it came out pretty decent.
As for a few of the bigger issues with it, I already explained that to the people involved and I see no reason to mention that in public. The perfectionist things are embarassing enough as they are..

Anyway, just thought I'd keep you all up to date. So if you happen to be a member of Het Stripschap, or if you are one of the special invitees, expect to find this nifty little booklet in the free Striptas !

Now all there's left for me to do is pick the booklets up later this week, deliver them at the Archeon, and wait another week to see if Bandirah's prediction comes true and we really WILL see thousands of them just tossed on the floor in the Archeon, with muddy footsteps on them. If it does come true, I'll make sure to take pictures of the mess :)

I dragged a really big, really heavy suitcase out to Alphen a/d Rijn today with the 1500 booklets, folks. My back hurts, my hand has (thankfully invisible) blisters, and I sure as hell hope you guys appreciate what I'm doing for you ;)
Seriously, though, the booklets came out great, and I want to thank all the artists who contributed. I'm going to the convention tomorrow and if I see anyone reading the booklets, I'll do my best to take pics for you all !

Dordrecht

Stripfestijn Dordrecht is another big convention where Probeersel.com won't show up. Except for myself - I've gotten myself involved with a new comics magazine called De Lijn (the line), which will have a different theme (and title) for each issue and will feature the work of young and fairly unknown but promising artists. The zero-issue will be introduced at this convention, and I'm currently dotting the i's on my ten-page solo contribution to this, a story called "Reaper, Baby", which will appear on Probeersel.com sometime in the next few weeks as part of The Artificial Real. Since I'm usually the guy who arranges for us to be at a convention (usually meaning that I got 'us' on ClickBurg, and didn't get enough people enthousiastic to get us on the Groningen con) and I'm preoccupied, and since the sales of stands has closed by now (at least to my knowledge), Probeersel.com won't be there. Still, I hope to see some of you - artists ánd...

We have 15 members now. FIFTEEN members ! And 34 comics. And over five hundred unique readers average per day. Wowsah. When I started this site four years ago, I figured we'd get a group of five or six or so artists together and perhaps a few comics. It's all grown so damn big, it's hard to believe. Which makes this very hard for me to write. Because I've always loved the whole Probeersel.com project dearly and I love that it's fairly successful. But I may need to quit. Between Probeersel.com and ClickBurg I'm getting way too busy with everything and I'm more and more exhausted these days. I love every minute of it because both projects really have a heart AND a whole lot of people eagerly supporting it, but I'm really getting overworked. And I want to know that I'm getting overworked for a reason. If not, I may have to consider pulling the plug on some activities and projects, for the sake of my own sanity and wallet. And focus on my comics themselv...

Plagiarism is bad

Rene tells me this is really limited as far as readership is concerned, and I am fully aware of this, but I believe in spreading the word and all that "aware" shit. Also I am very fond of this cartoonist and hate to see a big corporate dickhole exploit that which is not his. So tell your friends. If you haven't heard of this already, here's the deal. Cartoonist Shmorky of Purple Pussy and Something Awful found out a few days ago that Todd "Goliath" has taken a panel from Purple Pussy, recreated it, and placed it on display in a major art gallery claiming it as his own. Legal action is being pursued, and the major opinion is that this hack of David and Goliath T-shirt fame has gone too far in his self-absorbed opinion that, just because he found this image online, nobody would EVER know. Fuck you, mister. For more info, check out Retro Crush . Oh, and be on the lookout for some Penguism!
