I can’t count how many times people would come to the booth asking if the copies of Arsenic Lullaby or the T-shirts were free. The response was always the same.
“No, they’re better than free. They’re worth money.”
Typically we’d just get a look and they’d walk off. What they didn’t consider was we were right.
First, [...]
Most of the booths started the Con like this: Lay out a nice table cloth. Stack every single book, print and flier you’ve ever had printed into giant stacks. Set up a huge banner to draw attention. Rig up lights to highlight said banner. Sit on your ass and wait for the excited customers.
They [...]
I don’t know how to describe San Diego ComicCon other than madness.
The first thing I would tell you is that it isn’t just about comic books. It’s more of a multimedia expo. Movie studios were promoting their new titles next to video game developers. Television networks, toy makers, publishers, special effects artists, comic artists, borderline [...]
Now that I’ve had some time to relax, I’d like to share some thoughts on my experience with San Diego Comic Con and working with Arsenic Lullaby. Over the next few days, I’ll have a post about some aspect of my experience there. Today is just about the setting: San Diego.
I didn’t see much of [...]
A while ago, my friend Doug from Arsenic Lullaby asked if I’d write something for him because he had a lot going on with his new comic book and seeing as Doug and I agree for the most part politically, I used the opportunity to give a few thoughts on Health Care.

I’m not much of a comic book fan. The few things I do read are because they’re funny. In my opinion, the funniest book out there right now has been Arsenic Lullaby by Douglas Paszkiewicz. It’s some extraordinarily dark humor that I was introduced to several years ago and continue to enjoy.
Thanks to the creation of MySpace (one [...]
My friend Doug writes and draws one of the funniest “comic books” I’ve ever seen, Arsenic Lullaby. I put “comic book” in quotes because Arsenic Lullaby isn’t what I would consider a typical comic. It’s something I would shove at someone who says they don’t like comic books because it’s not some ridiculous hero in [...]
Tomorrow I’m going to Wizard World Philly, which is a comic convention. Aside from a few guys like Doug Paszkiewicz of Arsenic Lullaby, there’s not a whole lot of interest me there. My wife is really the one who’s into comic books. At one point, she owned part of a comic book store and if [...]
This is a special Saturday blog to put out the word that my friend Doug, who writes the funniest dark humored comics ever, is releasing a new comic book. Doug does everything by himself and is uncompromisingly funny because of it.
I’m saying this not only because I want to help my friend out, but also [...]
