I wish I could say this strip wasn’t based on a real life event.
But I can’t.
That being said, this weekend is the VA Comic Con. I will be there Saturday and Sunday and will be on a panel about independent and small press comics on Saturday from 3:30 – 4:00pm. I will be offering a special incentive on the “You Can’t Print Flick” book… if you buy the book, you’ll get three 1.5″ buttons of Joey, Marc and Roy FOR FREE!
The buttons will be making their convention debut.
If you’re going to the con, I will be located next to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund table so I look forwar to seeing you there.

I figured, with a werewolf AND a vampire in my strip, I absolutely HAD to do SOMETHING with the new Twilight movie coming out. For everyone that gets a huge laugh out of this, you can thank my wife – she gave me the idea that eventually turned into this strip (once her idea got into my head, festered for a while and became THIS twisted thing).
You all can praise (or blame) her! LOL!
Another couple of things:
1) Thursday night, the Lightbox – Illuminating Webcomics podcast will be featuring my good friend, Joe Combs who does the comic strip “Business Casual“.
2) This weekend is the Virginia Comic Con in Richmond, Virginia. I will be there selling my book, “You Can’t print Flick” – the TPB of the first 200 Capes & Babes strips. Plus, if you buy the book, not only will you get an artist sketch of your favorite Capes & Babes character (you have one, don’t you?), you’ll also get 1.5″ buttons of Joey, Marc and Roy ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!
You can also get a free picture with Roy the Werewolf too! How ’bout that???!!!
I hope to see you all there this weekend!
Currently listening to “Paparazzi” by Lady Gaga…

You guys didn’t seriously think you saw the last of I.R. Hungré, did you???
For those of you that might just be reading Capes & Babes for the first time, I.R. Hungré made his Capes & Babes debut back in April. You can check out the start of his story arc here. I had a lot of fun writing those strips with I.R. and hopefully, you had a lot of fun reading them as well. So… heeeeeee’s baaaaack!!!
In other news…
As you can see by that little graphic, I will be in Baltimore this coming weekend (October 10 & 11). I will be in ARTIST ALLEY at Table #26.
Now, sometimes, the table arrangements can get a little out of whack so if I’m not at Table #26, I should be very close. In any case, I will have the stand-up of Roy with me so he’ll be pretty hard to miss.
I will also be selling copies of my book, “You Can’t Print Flick” – the collection of the first 200 strips of Capes & Babes with a TON of extra content! I will be drawing full-color commissions again and selling my (almost) infamous Coffee shirt. In addition to that, I will be offering a brand new print of my cartoon, “Darth Puff – the Staypuff Marshmellow Man as a Sith Lord”.
So, if you’re in the Baltimore area this weekend, come to the Convention Center and check out the show!
Also, remember, we will be recording another episode of The Lightbox – Illuminating Webcomics this Thursday night on Talkshoe at 8:00pm EST.

UPDATE: I was mentioned on the Webcomics Weekly Episode #63 Podcast…
Well, SORT OF. If you have listened to the Podcast, when Scott talks about doing a Google Image search for Kris, he mentions something I did a little while before I started Capes & Babes. It was when Kris and Scott were going through Ray Ban sunglasses phase. I did a “Separated at Birth” joke with Kris. Here is the image Scott is talking about:
Now you all know the ONE Manga Roy has read and that would be “Deathnote”. 
How many of you are going to be in Dan Diego this weekend?
If you don’t know what’s going on in California this weekend, than you probably don’t know about the San Diego Comic-Con… one of biggest if not THE biggest Comic-Con’s in the country!
If you ARE one of the lucky few are going, than I want to GREATLY encourage you all to try and take some time out and visit two of my friends who will be there: Topher Davila and Joe Combs. They will be at the same table and Topher will have a copy of my “You Can’t Print Flick” book if you want to see it. He will also be handing out some of my postcards for me as well. If you want to check out Joe’s work, you can check him out three times a week at Business Casual.
Since the SDCC is so big, Topher has been kind enough to post a location map on his blog where you can EASILY find him and Joe hanging out this week. There are also some freebies he is giving out but you have to mention the blog in order to get them. Go to his blog for more details.
Hope you all have fun.
I am EXTREMELY jealous!

After having a bit of a discussion with my new friend Ricky, I decided to re-visit my strip from last Friday and re-do the punchline. That’s the nice thing about having a strip that’s all yours… you get to change the rules whenever you want. So, I am re-running last Friday’s strip again – only this time, with a different punchline.
I don’t really know if it’s better or funnier (mostly because of the subject matter). That’s for you all to decide. But heck… if there’s room in the web comic community for fart and sex jokes, surely there’s at least a LITTLE room for a vampire to say one of the benefits of being a vampire is… well, she doesn’t have to worry about buying Sunshine & rainbow products.
On to something else a little more positive…
Because I have been so focussed on my current job search (and something I need to get a better handle on), I have been very slack in letting people know about how the book has been received so far. So, without further ado, here are a couple of things I wanted to mention…
First, from my friend, Tovias…
Tovias was the first one to buy an artist edition of “You can’t print Flick”. If you’re interested in buying one for yourself, send me an e-mail at capesnbabes [at] gmail.com for more information.
Ben just recently blogged about the book he received in the mail. You can read about it here:
You can’t print Flick.
Second…
I recently sold three copies to my local comic book shop, Painted Visions. I just heard from Aaron and this is what he had to say:
wow good stuff. ill have the 3 books sold verry soon. ive told and shown it to lots of people today, and they now have it as a book to pick up as soon as thay get payed.(people come into the shop broke and pre shop so they know what to get when they do have money.) and a lot of people like and get what i recommend, as i only recomend good stuff.
aaron.
So that puts a lot of enthusiasm and confidence in me as I prepare to go to Heroes Con next weekend. And it would really be lousy of me if I didn’t mention I was going to heroes with my VERY good friends from Little Fish Comics in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
I’m really looking forward to getting together and heading down there with you guys, Mike and Ed (I know… that sounds like a Nickelodeon cartoon, doesn’t it? “Mike, Ed & Flick”…).
