Another Monday
One day, all the work I've been doing will add up to a little green book, and hopefully the grand total of all the hours of enjoyment people get out of the book will add up to more than all the hours of toil I've spent creating it.

This will probably be my last post for a while, because I have some traveling lined up. (I mean, theoretically I'm still on hiatus, but...)

The weather here has been really lousy, and we can't wait to go someplace else. I hope to see some of you in New York this weekend, and I also hope to both eat and shop until I drop.

There is now a line of "Mr. Men" t-shirts and merchandise. Has anyone seen these? Like, at the mall? I bought a "Mr. Noisy" shirt. It actually has a Mr. Men tag and everything, they're a branded set, it's not a cheap knockoff, so that's nice. It's weird to have my childhood co-opted by someone other than me, but at least it's a cute shirt.

Here's an ad for the new book.

Even your advertisements look so good! I think more hours have been put into enjoying your book, and any other books you could possibly create by the very first volume of Scott Pilgrim! My copies of your book have already been enjoyed by 4 different people! Its like chickenpox, everyone's gonna catch it sooner or later.

odd that you would mention the "Mister Men" merchandise. One of my friends was just telling me about the work he was doing on the new series they're doing for it. It sounds promising.

PS. Scott Pilgrim (vol 1) contains a Mr. Men reference, so it was a topical mention

yeah, a new kids show. He tells me it's gonna remain mostly faithful to the franchise. It's being produced in flash, though.

Wow, I really got the dates wrong for New York. Argh, I guess I won't get to go this year after all. WELL GOOD LUCK ANYWAY, I'm sure it will be fun.

I'm pretty sure that image is referencing/homaging something but I just can't nail it, dammit.

BTW, I hadn't thought about the Mr. Men (called the "Señordones" here in Mexico) until I read SP v1. I even thought they were a local thing.

Yeah they sell them at my store(i work for urban outfitters), cant say i'm a huge fan, but they're incredibly popular here to the point where people were travelling the country trying to hunt a specific one down!

Will you be doing any promotional appearances in Toronto for this book?

(My recently-broken-up-with ex-girlfriend has my Scott Pilgrim 1-3, as signed by you at Anime North last year. I miss them, but I don't think I'm getting them back. Oops.)

oh yes, I saw some of the shirts at Zara (a spaniard clothing franchise) and was so hyped about buying one!
But it was kind of expensive so I didn't
Oh Mr. Happy shirt, how much do I regret not buying you T_________________T

Ha ha. Speaking of which, I need to get in touch with you about doing the S.P. website next month-ish... are you going to be available?

Hey what can I say, good kerning is important.

Yup my time is still ok for this. You can reach me through Facebook or email. I'll be in NY this weekend too, so should we cross paths we can chat. :)

Nice. Mouth watering actually. I think because those colors on black remind my Brand Storage Lobe of the packaging for some sort of sour candy I used to eat. Eye catching in the corner store and now the comic shop. People still ask on a weekly basis if they can buy the Raccoon Scott taped to the wall here.
