Austin English on Inkstuds
Blaze on the left and Austin on the right.Our favorite radio interview program from Canada presents an interview with Austin English. It is a pretty eye opening show, even if they are way too nice.

See-Saw - Sara Edward-Corbett: This is the most genius comic I've ever read to use "fartknocker" in almost every other strip. See-Saw plays out the schoolyard antics of four little kids- Chuckie, the bully; Georgie, the brainy wuss; Olga, the shy girl; and Meals, the girl with the inexplicable crush on Chuckie. The strip balances the kids' fears, insecurities, and understanding of the world around them with a childish crass streak, resulting in either really funny social commentary or hilarious fart jokes. The book itself is a beautiful silkscreened & hand-sewn work of art, and comes with a fortune teller tucked in the back. Worth every cent.

A new office place and store!
Sparkplug will be moving to 6340 SE Foster Road in Portland. It is an office space that also has a storefront, where Tim Goodyear and I will be opening a t-shirt, book (no comics) and dvd store called "The Bad Apple" soon. The space used to be a Cricket office and a tanning salon and is right next to the new Guapo Comics & Coffee. I'll be updating with pictures and such as we move in. I think we'll have a party or something in February.
