I was going through Newsarama the other day when I came upon an article listing all the comics coming out on FCBD, and there was the Comic Genesis one! Check it out! This is so cool, you guys! I can't wait to see the final product.

Aww, sweet! Humbug's cover looks perfect with the rest of them.

I just got payment for a 1/4 page ad, with ad details to follow.

... am I getting the details of the ads now too? I thought you were getting those. And did you know the ad was coming in, or should I be telling you that?
I knew about the ad, Ryan, but the person who bought it may not have given me all the details. If you could forward me the information from her payment, that would be great. Also, we have sold a full-page ad, and that money should be coming in soon as well, with details to follow.

cool. I'll forward you details of sold ads then.

The covers are available here, too.

This comic is going to kick ass!

After looking at all the covers, yes, I can say our cover is really awesome! They even mentioned Humbug's name and pimped her site in the summary. Great promotion there.

Also, MAJOR UPGRADE on Keenspot's cover for FCBD 2007's cover compared to last year's. Like, for real.

as of 5:35pm AEST, i am the proud owner of a completed foxfire FCBD submission.

Cort i'm gonna send it to ya so you can nitpick it half to death and to see if the text is right and such..

Cortland- I never heard anything back from you about my submission, so I assume it arrived and there were no problems with it. I hope.

That list of covers makes this suddenly seem terrifyingly real--I mean, man, Lynda Barry! Eddie Campbell!

Here is my submission--the text is much more readable in the huge tiff version, natcherly. Are there any problems anyone sees that should be fixed before Wednesday?

(I finished inking this at a coffeeshop where this same basic conversation was going on, tragically)

Cort, I'm gonna get my greys done tonight, and change the panel spacing so it fits the pages better.

Keffria · Post by **Keffria** » Sat Jan 27, 2007 5:32 pm

Okies, I think I'm done. :3

I'm gonna hold off on sending you the mega-high-res pieces, Corto. I want to sit on them for a couple of days, then come back and make sure I haven't, say, forgotten to shade something.

Garneta · Post by **Garneta** » Sat Jan 27, 2007 7:03 pm

Well, since I did finish mine a couple days ago, maybe I should post it here, eh? (It fits in between some of the real strips...but everyone else's submissions seem so much more awesome!!! Y'all Rock!)

Yep! It came through just fine.

And yay! More pages coming in! It's nice to see this book coming together at last.

Corto, is there any chance we'll be able to do a test-run before the final version is distributed? I've never had my work printed before, so I'm kind of worried about how it'll turn out.

Mine is probably done. Just making sure I get the size right.

very true, although one's average printer does a good job, i wouldn't mind seeing it in its true-to-life form..
