Last year, I published How Comics Were Made, a look at the whole process from an newspaper cartoonist’s hands to the printed page, under my own imprint after a very successful Kickstarter campaign. It sold well over 2,000 copies, and the whole process was delightful. After the Kickstarter campaign, Andrews McMeel Publishing was in touch about acquiring future printings and editions. My self-published version sold out in March, and a very slightly different new printing appears in bookstores as How Comics Are Made on June 3! You can pre-order the new printing from bookstores worldwide; I’ve assembled a list of links to indies and chains alike.

To celebrate the book’s release, I’m having an event with two syndicated cartoonists at Ada’s Technical Books in Seattle. Georgia Dunn of Breaking Cat News and Brian Basset of Red & Rover graciously agreed to join me. I’ll do a presentation about the book and Georgia about her cartooning, and then I’ll ask the two of them about their careers. We’ll have a Q&A and then sign books! If you’re in Seattle, please join us at 6 pm on June 3! Full details here.

I interviewed Georgia and Brian for the book, visited their studios, and included their work in the book. Georgia also is the artist featured in the contemporary part of the book, showing how cartoonists produce their work today.
