Tom Tomorrow:
Upcoming events
I’ll be in Italy for the second half of September to promote the crowdfunded Italian compilation, “Il Pazzo Mondo a Stelle e Strisce” (which I think translates roughly as “The Crazy World of Stars and Stripes”). This is the itinerary that I have so far; I will update this as I get more information.
And then on the afternoon of Oct. 21, I’ll be giving a presentation at the Witching Hour Festival in my hometown of Iowa City. The event is at the Englert Theatre, which was the movie palace of my childhood, back when movie theaters would run old school animated shorts before the main feature. I spent countless hours at the Englert as a kid, and have been wanting to do an event there since it became a live performance venue, so I’m especially looking forward to this one.
If you missed out on the big Kickstarter compilation, comics publisher IDW has just put out a second edition. (If your local indy bookstore has it in stock, please buy it there, but if not you can buy it through the link below and I get a few bucks as an Amazon affiliate in addition to my royalty.)
This is an expanded edition, with some additional pages of Trump material (up through the election, basically). If you backed the original Kickstarter (at book level or higher) and would like to buy a copy of this edition, email me (tomtomorrow-at-gmail) and I’ll give you a code good for a discount.
I did an interview last week with Patrick Freyne of the Irish Times, ahead of my talk at the Galway Arts Festival in a couple of weeks. The article is here.
Somebody mentioned to me recently that my Wikipedia entry is not exactly up-to-date and boy were they right — judging from my Wiki page, my career stopped in 2009 and before that mostly consisted of some deals that fell through. My understanding is that it’s poor form to edit your own entry, but if anyone wants to take it on, in whole or part, here’s a (not so) short list of omissions and errors:
(UPDATE: continues below the fold. Many of these suggestions have been incorporated; the ones that haven’t are marked in boldface.)
The new book is available to order from Amazon! (Release date is Oct. 18 but I’ve heard that it may be shipping sooner.) It’s a compilation of cartoons from 2014-2016, from the days of Rancher Bundy and his cows through the tail end of the strangest election of my lifetime. It’ll be the perfect book to curl up with on November 9, either in quivering terror or exhausted relief tinged with apprehension.
I’ll be signing copies (and I think handing out Trump masks, assuming they made it back from the printer) at the IDW booth at New York Comic Con (#1844) on Saturday from 5-6 pm, and on Sunday from 11 am – noon. I will also be taking part in a panel on independent comics from 1:30-2:30 in room 1A02. Stop by and say hello!
