It’s Towel Day!

Today is the day we celebrate not only the works and life of author Douglas Adams, but the various uses of the towel. Here we see the towel’s usefulness in hand-to-hand combat. The various uses listed in The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy can be found here.

Donate $100 online to the Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firemen’s Fund and we’ll send you a commemorative LAFD beach towel. It’s a great way to honor Towel Day and help a hero at the same time. (Be sure to put “TOWEL” in the tribute field.)

Pass this post on and photo reply with your favorite use of the towel.

I’ve decided to give into the urge to make stupid graphics once in a while.

These redesigns are amazing. Is is bad that I kind of want Saturn/Hotaru’s outfit?

If you like horror and/or creator-owned comics, check out the Kickstarter for Anathema, a six-issue mini series written by Rachel Deering, a fellow Womanthology contributor (she lettered over thirty stories, including “Everwell”). The first issue has already been released to great reviews (I’m eagerly awaiting my copy) and the funds raised from the Kickstarter will pay the art team for issues 2-6. Come on, how many other comics out there bill themselves as a Lesbian Werewolf Epic?

I’m looking forward to seeing The Hunger Games tonight. Red Velvet is also rather excited about the movie in this week’s Cupcake POW! Think they like cupcakes in the Capitol?

Womanthology Interviews

I did a few interviews recently for Womanthology: Heroic. It was a bit weird, and it’s weirder still seeing my name pop up on Twitter along with links to hear me rambling. But here are the links for anyone interested:

Jody Houser Talks Womanthology With Fanboy Comics - The title sums it up pretty well. This was a video (awkward!) interview I did the week before WonderCon at Emerald Knights to help promote their Womanthology signing on March 25th.

Fandom Planet 40 “We Wander Wondercon” - During WonderCon, I did an impromtu interview with Fandom Planet while sitting at the Womanthology table. You can hear it about 17 minutes into the podcast.

I think I sound a lot more comfortable during the audio-only interview, but some of that may have been the people high I got from sitting at the Womanthology table at Artist Alley. There were so many people who came up to say how much the project meant to them. I hadn’t really expected that. It was incredibly moving to see so much support for Womanthology, especially with the announcement that it’s going to be an ongoing.

(Posting for the Tumblr crowd.) Today’s WonderCon is Black Alice. Come say hello if you see me.

Black Alice.

And don’t you ever doubt.

The only problem with Mac’s costume is that she didn’t find me at WonderCon so I could see it in person. The pictures look awesome though!

Today at my local comic shop (House of Secrets in Burbank), I watched a six-year-old girl page through every single comic in Womanthology: Heroic. I may have gotten a bit choked up. Isn’t this exactly who Womanthology was made for?

Shown in the photos are stories by Renae De Liz; Kate Leth; Gail Simone and Jean Kang; and myself, Fiona Staples and Adriana Blake. Reading through with her was Amy, House of Secrets employee and one of the Womanthology Kickstarter backers.

APE IN A CAPE: Female Comics Creators On Tumblr?

gailsimone:

A while back, I asked for creators who identified as LGBTQ to announce themselves and promote their work in a massive thread right here on Tumblr. It got hundreds of responses and tons of links to some incredibly wonderful work, most of which has not yet received the exposure it deserves, quite a…

My name is Jody Houser and I’m a writer focusing on comics and screenwriting. I’ve written comics for several anthologies (including Womanthology) and have created webcomics since 2006. I’m also scripting some longer creator-owned projects. There’s more info and links at my website, MindEclipse.com.
