If you came to Denver Comic Con or Denver Pride this past weekend and stopped by either booth I was at, thank you! I’m not sure I’m gonna double-book like that again, at least not when it’s 100 degrees out. But it was good to talk to the folks who came buy, and both shows went well!
Next up is Denver Zine Fest, which is this Saturday, June 25. Click through that link for hours and location. It’s FREE admission, so you have none excuse. ZERO OF EXCUSES.
Also! I will reveal more about this later on, but I just signed a contract to work on a short autobio comic. This is going to mean a delay in running Chapter 7 of Valley of the Silk Sky, but it’ll be worth it, I promise.
Cheers,
Dylan

Just in case you’re curious: while Chadsen is not biologically related to Beneke and Amihan, xe was fostered by them as a teen, so there’s more than a little parent/child dynamic to their relationship.
Oh, also I was interviewed for Asexual Artists. Read my ramblings here.
So anyway! I’m doing TWO shows this weekend, on account of I am bananas.
I’ll be at Denver Comic Con this weekend (June 17-19, 2016) AND Denver Pride (June 18-19).
My current plan is to be at Pride in the mornings (before the weather gets too gross, ha ha), and to retreat to the air conditioned Colorado Convention Center for the afternoons.
At DCC you can find me at the Northwest Press booth AA25.
At Pride I’ll be with the Out in Colorado booth J25-26.
SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO BUY QUEER COMICS.
Cheers,
Dylan

Valley of the Silk Sky page 60, CAKE, and Beyond!
First up, if you’re a giant nerd and want to read all about my linguistic choices for Valley of the Silk Sky, I answered an ask on Tumblr about that very subject.
Valley of the Silk Sky page 60 is up, and it features THRILLING DISCUSSIONS of GRANT MONEY ALLOCATION. Witness the shocking revelations here:

Speaking of shocking revelations that are VoSS-related, the Beyond Anthology won the Lambda Literary Award for Best Fiction Anthology! Full list of winners is here. This comes shortly after Beyond was placed on the James Tiptree, Jr. Literary Award Honor List, so it’s been a good couple weeks for queer SFF comics!
Should you be thinking to yourself, gosh, I sure would like to BUY some queer comics, WELL. I just updated my publications list with hot, fresh links for where to purchase said titles.
Also, speaking of buying books (I’m all about the segues today). I will not be at CAKE myself, but you can find a selection of my comics at Table 6 with Ed Luce/Wuvable Oaf. So if you’re in Chicago and want some queer comics, head on over there.
Cheers,
Dylan

If you read my story in the Beyond Anthology, you will no doubt recognize Beneke and Amihan and their Lab of Much Science.
WisCon went really, really well! I’m super happy about it and will definitely be making plans to attend next year.
Next up is Denver Comic Con and Denver Pride (both the same weekend! Ha ha!), and then Denver Zine Fest the weekend after that. You can find all the details on my Appearances page, but I’ll give some further particulars as the dates approach.
But yes, I’m splitting my time between Denver Comic Con and Denver Pride. Not sure yet which specific hours and days I’ll be where, but once it’s sorted I’ll post about it.
ANYHOW.
Until next week,
Dylan

I’m experimenting with a new way of saving large image files, so this page SHOULD load much faster than previous pages. The question now is whether I go back and re-save and re-upload ALLLLLL previous 57 pages. Hah. Heh. Oh my.
But it ain’t gonna happen this week because WisCon!
Yes, indeed, I am vending and paneling in Madison, WI this long weekend, Friday through Monday. I believe this is my first midwest show, as it happens. So yeah, if you’re in the area you should swing by. I will have loads of queer comics to sell you, and a selection of Feeping Creatures itemries for your monster purchasing needs.
