There was very cool news announced a few weeks back in Publisher’s Weekly about an upcoming series of comics for young readers called TOON Books to be published by the Little Lit Library, which is to say Françoise Mouly and her husband, Art Spiegelman.

The lineup of artists for the first six books is awesome! I’m especially excited about the Silly Lilly and the Four Seasons comic by Agnés Rosenstiehl. It’s beautiful.

Check out the TOON site which has previews of the upcoming books as well as information about the series.

A recent Kimbly cartoon got a bunch of email requesting a t-shirt of the comic! So I’ve made the shirt and am now in pre-order!!

So if you like it. come on over and order one.. Then order one for you sister and mother! ☺

Seriously, if you like it please order one, I’m not going to be making very many extras!!
So if you want to be sure I have it in your size pre-order it up!!

Zip and Li’l Bit are back in an all-new story called The Sky Kayak! The new Website just launched yesterday with the very first page. Updates will continue at Zip and Bit’s usual schedule of Sundays and Thursdays. Come along and see what sort of craziness they’ll get themselves into this time.

Also you can still read Zip and Li’l Bit’s previous story, The Upside-Down Me, now at it’s own site. Both sites now feature commenting, a visual page archive and an updated zoom feature that allows you to enlarge any comic panel and then read through the panels at double the size.

So be sure to check out The Upside-Down Me as well as The Sky Kayak at their new sites!

I’ve got the 2 Kimbly prints now on sale!

I also made a package deal, where you get BOTH prints for a discounted price!!

The 2 prints i have for sale are Crime Wave and Soap Opera!

Get them while you can!

ALl last week and this week i’m doing harry potter and the deathy hallow comics. the comics are not all wizard and stuff, it’s just words i read in the HP books.

Many people ask me how I come up with all my puns. One way is a lot of reading, that and I’m used to looking for words. I actually got quite a few from reading the new Harry potter book. So this week and last week will be all puns I saw in Harry potter and the deathly hallows. Some will have pages numbers some won’t. But they are all from the book!

I won’t give away any spoilers. : )

So enjoy my Harry potter the deathly hallows comics!

It’s August already, which means September is right around the corner. I know for a lot of people this means back to school and we’re sorry, but to make up for it, this year September also means the return of Zip and Li’l Bit.

In case anyone wants to start counting down the days until they’re back, the first page of The Sky Kayak will post on Sunday, Sept. 16th. To help get you in the spirit, here’s some sneaky sample panels (in black and white) that I grabbed from the upcoming comic. Click on the links below and check them out. I hope you enjoy.

If you are not familiar with PVP the comic, this may be your first visit to comics on the internet. Welcome! PVP is one of the most popular, well-illustrated and humorous comics on the Web. Creator Scott Kurtz continues to be an inspiration to other creators as well as a wonderful supporter of Lunchbox Funnies.

Scott traditionally runs a week of guest comics at PVP this time of year when he is off to Comic-Con International (where he’s busy winning Eisners and being a special guest and stuff). This year he has extended a warm welcome to the creators of Lunchbox Funnies to handle the entire guest week for him, and we have enthusiastically accepted the challenge. Starting today, and throughout the following week, PVP will be publishing guest comics by our very own Ryan Sias, Trade Loeffler, Dean Trippe, Mike Maihack, Tyler Martin and Ryan Estrada.

PVP… all-week… all-ages… all-fun!

Hey all you Lunchbox funnies fans! Over at Silent Kimbly, i just completed a week of water comics! my water pun trilogy has Tap water, crime wave, and doggie paddle. If you like water or are hot come over to Kimbly to cool off with funny water comics!

Hey there, Tyler here with some quick news… the MOCCA Art Fest is happening this weekend if you love you some comics and cartoons, and I know you do. If you are in NY this weekend, it’s the place to be. Five of our members will be attending. Dave Roman will be there at the Comics Bakery booth with several of his comics available. Mike Maihack will also be there at his own booth (I think a Cowshell booth… just look for the Lunchbox Funnies logo on his banner), and he’ll have his Cow & Buffalo books available as well as postcards and minis from his graphic novel, Seed. Dean Trippe will be there, actually doing some reporting, and Ryan Sias and Trade Loeffler will be making an appearance as well. Lunchboxtacular!

I hope everyone that attends has a great time, I hear nothing but good from this convention. As for me, I’ll be here keeping the Lunchbox homefires warm and celebrating my anniversary with my beautiful wifey, yay!

Both Cow & Buffalo as well as Wally & Osborne have been known to put on undies and become superheroes. Creators Mike Maihack and Tyler Martin decided to collaborate on an image with the four characters teamed up into some sort of undie-wearing superfriends. They each inked their own characters and Mike handled coloring duties. Here’s the results:

Here’s some downloadable wallpaper of the image at various sizes.

800×600 | 1027×768 | 1152×864 | 1280×1024 | 1600×1200

Wear it on your computer proud. Wear your undies proud too!
