IDEA FOR A VIDEO GAME

A Paper Mario-style RPG… wherein the princesses of two different kingdoms get word that the other princess needs to be rescued, and they simultaneously set out to rescue… each other.

Like how Paper Mario would switch between the viewpoints of Mario and Peach, this game would switch between the two princesses, culminating in the final chapter where it’s revealed they were tricked into being captured by…. another princess! Or something like that

I’d play the shit out of this.

leecherolis:

So I got the letter saying I’m on the waiting list for the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo (CAKE). I’m seriously bummed out. For an independent comic artist in the midwest, convention options are limited and alternative/small press shows even more limited. We’re just getting our comic off the ground. We were going to debut our first collection (100 pages) at the show…

I know space was extremely limited, I just keep wishing they’d considered how much a show like that would mean to an indie creator trying to get noticed versus giving those spots to established creators who already have the attention of the community.

I’m probably going to try to attend anyway. I still want to support the community I’m trying desperately to be a part of.

Congrats to those exhibiting this year, maybe I’ll be joining you next year.

Remember that scene in Watchmen #9 where an ornate crystal palace shattered because it was hit with a bottle of a perfume called “Nostalgia?”

I think that might’ve been a metaphor.

Do you remember The Adventures of Pete & Pete? We do.

It was the best show ever: the precise distillation of all the strangeness and wonder of childhood. The sublime ache of that perfect summer you know will never come again, or a song you can’t quite capture.

Anyway, we love Pete & Pete, and we know some of you, do, too. So, we’re making a tribute zine, and we want you to be part of it.

Write or draw your favorite memories of Pete & Pete—stories, art, songs, comics, or anything else you dream up. Send ‘em to us by May 1, 2012. We’ll collect our favorites and print ‘em in a zine.

Contributors get a comp copy, plus a print-res PDF so they can print and sell their own. We’re not looking to make money from this. We just want it to exist.

THE FINE PRINT:

E-mail submissions to peteandpetezine@gmail.com by May 1, 2012.

Written submissions—essays, interviews, memoirs, poetry, whatever—should be .doc or .rtf files. No length limit, but bear in mind that it’ll be easier for us to place shorter pieces. We’re not really looking for straight-up fanfiction, but we’ll definitely consider any and all submissions.

Comics, illustrations, and other visual media should be .tif or .jpg files, black-and-white or greyscale (maybe if this thing takes waaaaay off, we’ll do a limited color run, but we’re not counting on that), formatted to fit a 4.25” x 5.5” page at 300-600 DPI. Again, no length limit, but bear in mind that shorter pieces will be easier for us to place. If you need a spread, please indicate that somewhere in your submission.

Keep it reasonably clean: if it wouldn’t fly on the show, we probably won’t print it.

By submitting work to Waiting for October via peteandpetezine@gmail.com, you give us the right to use it in the Waiting for October print zine and tumblr. Anywhere we use your work, it’ll be credited to you. If your work appears in the print zine, you’ll get a contributor copy and a print-res PDF. The whole deal will be under a Creative Commons license, and contributors are free to print ‘n sell copies.

We are in no way affiliated with The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Nickelodeon, Polaris, or anyone but our own bad selves.

Stay pipe!

-Miles & Rachel

P.S. Special thanks to Kory Bing, who took all the pictures. You can read Kory’s comics here.

The Dangers of SOPA, The Stop Online Piracy Act, to Comic Books and You [Op-Ed]

By Aaron Colter

If you spend any amount of time on the Internet that doesn’t involve asking someone younger why you can’t get Google to work, then you’ve probably seen a united and unprecedented team of companies and creative professionals — including ComicsAlliance’s parent company AOL — coming out against the proposed legislation referred to as SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act.

The debate over the bill has caused Get Your War On creator David Rees to start a new webcomic, seen above, called Get Your Censor On. Popular aggregate site Reddit is going dark on January 18 to protest the bill, as is Wikipedia. The video game industry is split over the issue, although most major corporations seem to still be supporting the underlying notions of SOPA.

As both fans who love the comics and critics who believe that the open exchange of art and ideas is essential to the vitality of the medium and its distribution, here’s why we think proposed laws like SOPA are damning to both comic books and the creative industry generally, and why there has been such a conflicting response — or lack of one — from comics publishers.

SOPA came to the forefront on the comics blogosphere recently when Marvel Entertainment and its parent company Walt Disney, along with DC Comics owner Time Warner, were named on a list of SOPA supporters released by congress and publicized online. Seeing the ostensible support of the bill from the two biggest publishers in comics prompted a variety of responses within the comics community, including some pointedly negative ones from creators like Steve Niles.

The internet has become an essential tool for the distribution of comic books and discussion about them. Fans and pros alike promote both individual comics and the medium itself by creating and sharing art on forums, websites, and social networks, practices that are directly imperiled by these laws.

ComicsAlliance is officially against such destructive legislation.
