“2nd Place” by Will Barnes - A collection of brilliantly funny short stories and comic strips that are sad at the same time. Who thought self-loathing could be so fun! Buy a copy so you can laugh AT him, not WITH him. © 2005. 13 page b&w digest, mature. $1.00 US # 1000
“James K. and the Amazing Monochromatic Steamcoat” by John Peters - History has never been so fun… or so literally inaccurate. John's amazing 24-hour comic from © 2005, influenced by the They Might Be Giants song James K. Polk. 24 pgs. b&w digest, General, $2.00 US #722
“Unseen on TV, Vol. 1” - We've taken the plots from TV's greatest (and worst!) moments and put them into a randomized plot generator. A comic for couch potatoes! Featured artists include Squid Works' own Stan Yan and John Peters, and SLG's Jen Feinberg (Chi). © 2005 Young American Comics. 40 pg b&w digest, color cover.
We'd also like to congratulate Stan Yan, whose “Tickle Tape” (http://www.squidworks.com/Stan/TickleTape/) cartoons and illustrations grace the newly-released, “Options Demystified” (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0071454152/qid=1119623004/sr=8-2/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i2_xgl14/103-4908929-1601443?v=glance&s=books&n=507846) by Thomas McCafferty (McGraw-Hill); and we'd like to congratulate T. Motley who's has a hilarious art modeling story appearing in Eros Comix's (http://www.eroscomix.com) Blow Job #16 (sorry no link or images available on their site yet). Ask your local comix retailer for this one.
