Yuko Ota's Blog, page 69

Master of Stripes

There was a period during which Yuko was into buying colors but recently it's been all greys! It's a good look on her. 

Volume 2 is coming along! It's going to be 152 pages, so bigger than the last installment. More info as it comes! 

See you Thursday!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Halloween is Monday and our next update is Tuesday, so you get this early Halloween comic! That's how the candy corn crumbles (that's a joke, candy corn is made of a highly durable substance). We were in Easthampton working with/visiting pals and I guess the elevator has a light switch? So KC made our day very spooky. We stayed with Rich, who's the best host with the best cats. 

I caught whatever Yuko got after NYCC, so next week's blog updates might be a sentence long! But anyway, the important stuff: 

Still knee-deep in getting the book together. We're getting a new batch of patches in - a lot of you also expressed interest in Phoenix Down, Paleontololgy and Zoolology t-shirts. If you can specify interest in 1 or 2, I'LL SEE WHAT I CAN DO. *WINK*

That's all! Have a good Halloween, catch you Tuesday!

GEORGE

George has been visiting! Actually, he just left today. Godspeed Rohac! Punchmonkey went back to Portland.

Books are back in stock! Besides that, we'll be restocking a couple of things for the holiday season, including patches, CMYcat shirts and possibly another t-shirt - please let me know in the comments what you'd like to see in the store. We're also locked into a schedule for Volume 2, so that ought to be out for the holidays as well!

Speaking of V2, that's what we gotta get back to work on. Catch you Thursday!

Post-NYCC

Yuko got pretty sick after NYCC and she's still a little under the weather. You know that feeling when you can feel illness coming on and you're all, "Bluuuuh nooooo" and it's all "Hey what's up let's hang out" and then you're all "Get outta here no one likes you" and it's all "hey I'm staying over for a few days that's cool right?" Oh, in unrelated news George is staying with us for a few days. 

We're temporarily out of books! There'll be more in the store next week. NYCC was out last show of the year, so now we're full speed ahead on getting volume 2 finished. Which means we gotta get back to work - see you next week!

Bluuuugh

We're wiped after NYCC, here are some dragons from Yuko's notebook. Back to normal on Thursday!

Thanks everyone who came by NYCC! Always nice to see you guys and girls. 

Catch you Thursday!

NYCC this weekend!

For context, here's the full map. Yuko's also signing with Graphic Universe (Booth #1140) on Friday from 2-3 PM and Oni Press (Booth #1236) on Sunday from 11-11:45 AM. Come by, say hello, we'll have books and other stuff to bring you! See you there!

Finally, coffee we can agree on

It was mega gross, oh man. 

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes from last week! You guys and gals are really nice and I realized I forgot to thank ya. 

NYCC info will be up on Thursday! Yuko's got two signings, and we'll be in the webcomics area tabling with Frank and Becky of Tiny Kitten Teeth and next to Evan and Kel! A very thorough info post will be up on Thursday, so look for it then. 

October may end up being a hell month for us! So apologies in advance if posts get short(er) -- comics will update as usual. 

Have a good one, catch you Thursday!
