Let's Be Friends Again

Hello there.

Did you dudes have a good Thanksgiving?

I hope that you did.

You may recall me showing you the latest addition to my Superman and Scott Pilgrim high-fiving sketch collection a week or so ago, so I figured I might as well show you the first of my Superman and Scott Pilgrim high-fiving sketches..

Mr. Lee O’Malley drew this for me the first time Curt and I met him at HeroesCon 2008. We’d actually seen him briefly at MoCCA earlier in the year, but we were too busy trying to get people to buy our mini-comic to go talk to him.

I doubt there is a better way to start a themed sketch collection than by getting the dude responsible for half of the theme to get things going.

Let’s do this thing by the numbers..

1) I went ahead and coloured that Scott Pilgrim & Superman high-fiving sketch Bryan Lee O’Malley did for me.
I hope you do not think that I have ruined it.

2) A big thanks to The Daily What and the rest of you friends and fans for the links on the new strip. Truly, the Muppets stir something inside us that is universal.

3) An even bigger thanks to Rich Johnston at Bleeding Cool for plugging the book, for saying our comics are “rather good”, and comparing the “Good Intentions” strip to Perry Bible Fellowship. For doing all of this we will forgive that he left the “again” out of “Let’s Be Friends Again”.

4) Speaking of the book, our Master Designer, Dylan Todd, has created a new banner ad for the book, and it should be showing up over there to your right… but for some reason it is sporadically not showing up. Hopefully, that will be cleared up soon.

5) This is the “she” the latest strip is referring to.

6) And finally, here is another sketch for one of the cool people that played my Twitter Halloween guessing game.
It is intended to be Indiana Jones. I believe he is running away from the coyote from the Roadrunner cartoons.

I got inspired by Brandon Schaefer (and this Flickr group) to try my hand at designing some fake movie posters.

Well, I mean, they’re not for fake movies. Superman: The Movie is a real movie.

My design is a take on the classic original poster.

I don’t think I’m particularly adept at this sort of thing, but it was still fun to give it a try. I’m happy to hear what you think.

Here it is with the (almost) same credit trappings and what not as the original.

Commission sketch for a Let’s Be Friends Again reader.
This was like 8×10 or so, I think.
Obviously more detailed than the little freebie sketches I did for my Twitter guessing game since money was involved.

Okay, let’s do some thangs!

1) We’ve done an interview for a blog about pop culture that we’ve agreed is probably the best interview we’ve done so far. You should all read it, because honestly, you need more of us talking about pee holes and Hawkman in your life. The interview is broken into two parts: One & Two

2) Check out this amazing painting Sheli Hay did as part of an online art project she’s doing.

Amazing, right?
It features the first appearance of The Enthusiast and Mr. Fahrenheit Jr. in their Surf Mission Uniforms.

3) And finally, don’t forget, the LBFA 2nd Annual Original Art Sale is still in full swing! If you’d like to buy the original art of any of the strips (or any of the other miscellaneous art you may have seen on the site) e-mail me at thechrishaley@gmail.com and I’ll let you know if it’s been sold already or not and how much it will cost.

Since tomorrow’s comic is going to be a little late, I thought I’d share this with you guys to make it up to you.

I think that line is the thesis statement of All Star Superman.

I’m planning to get it as a tattoo at some point.
