Comic Con 2006 Part Four
So ends another series of comics about going to Comic-Con. Now all there is left to do is wait.
I was going to help Mr. Jon Rosenberg move into his new "inside" house (they won't let him live outside anymore) but now I'm not. Here's the finished version of that Edmonton Journal article, and to the right you can see a small scan of the page. Topato is pleased with this.
Two more styles added to the Snakes shirts! Now you can get it in plain black and navy American Apparel.
Here's a link (60mb .mov, please save to desktop). There are cusses and it is boring. I'm the kind of effeminate sounding dude to Sam's right.

"Rowland does all right selling merchandise for Wigu, and distributing products linked to other comics through TopatoCo, an online company named for one of Rowland's most popular characters, a talking potato superhero made of poison."
Say this out loud a few times. It is more awesome each utterance.
I'm normally not a brown noser, but
"Some people can draw really well, and some people can write really well," says Jeffrey Rowland, creator of the well-known but defunct strip Wigu. "I can't do either of these really well but I can do both of them well enough to be able to make a coherent comic strip."
While potentially correct, I think you drawn purdy comics. They are comics, not some stick up your ass post modern expression of angst. People drawn what fits to the attitude and nature of the subject, usually that works well.
Well, the article sort of seems centerless-- as if it was pieced together through a bunch of random Google searches and hasty phone interviews. But... it does have a giant picture of Topato. And slightly incoherent and naive press is better than no press at all right?

PS: I'm kind of disappointed that you don't live the flashy lifestyle I always dreamed you famous webcomic artists lived. I always pictured you, for example, getting up every morning and brushing your teeth with caviar for toothpaste and Cristal for water. And a brush for a brush. But a really nice brush, with, like, a gold handle and bristles from a snow leopard who died with an immaculately pure soul.
Webcomic creators need to be more like rappers in their means of living, dang it. Where else am I going to funnel my burning, round-the-clock desire for attention?
Web Cartoonists are so rich that they've all joined together and built a second reality, away from all of us shmoes, to keep their wealth in.
By the time you read this, they will have assassinated me already for divulging this information, using special mind powers that they bought from God.
Soo, if you're coming to LA, might there be an appearance in the works, where we can drink Mexican beer and discuss the topics of the day?
AS in, maybe you could make an appearance at the Nucleus Gallery in Alhambra. I'm sure you're buddy Kazu could make that happen. Eh? Eh? maybe sell some swag? Eh? Eh?
I have that paper, Man If I ever go to comic-con, gunna get jeff to sign it. Woot Edmonton
Haha, that's cool. I actually made my own little comics for a while in high school in a typical spiral notebook. It was awesome and people laughed.
But then I ran out of ideas.
becomethesea, yeah, I did too. Then my ex-girlfriend threatened to sue me and I had to stop, and then my web site got hacked.
Good times!
heh, me and some friends put up a site but were taking it down cause we got lazy, and almost got sued once, and our parents hated it cause it was so bad, if you want check www.partyfoul.ca cause on augest 1st were taking it down, i think everone should try making a comic atleast once though.
I love comics, you can do certain things with comic strips and animation that can't be done by any other means. I think that Jeffrey Rowland has perfected the comic strip and all it's powers. I also think that having international recognition as well as being quoted numerous times by the media and having a devoted following, even if it is simply on the internet, is about as famous as any one person can hope to be in this world overpopulated with billions of people.
