Annnnddd... We're Back.

Hey Y'all,

It's been way to long since we've last heard from each other. How have you been doing? What's new? Tell us. TELL US NOW!

Well, what's new with us is that we've been trying to settle back into life... something we sometimes can't believe, yo.

And what news do we have to report? Well, for starters, DTWA&K has been awarded the Xeric Grant for Wall City! MY oh MY, you should have seen our faces when we heard the news. Astonished! We were speechless, dumbfounded, etc... So for the summer, along with trying to keep our minds at our job, we've been working on getting it ready for printing.

There's not a lot that's changed, we would have liked to have redrawn the entire damn thing... but well, you don't always get what you want.

We did, though, draw a new cover. Check it, yo's:



It'll be a wrap around deal, so the right side is the front cover. We also worked on a couple of new design pages, but they're not all that interesting.

Summer has gone by too quickly, has it not? And yet, at the same time, we feel as though it's been so long since it first started. Oh well. In honor of summer, here's the other Eagle Fight Squad drawing we did for the Sundays Anthology, which came out this past MoCCA:






So what else has been going on with us? Well earlier this summer, DTWA&K was lucky enough to have a table representing The Center for Cartoon Studies at HEROSCON in North Carolina. Here are some highlights from that weekend:


The Table


Nice one, McChazzy!

NACHOS, a popular snack food!


On the road, again, with McBuck and The Lamb.


And Finally, Starbucks got Sven's order wrong... He went Hulk on us.

Anyhow Y'all. We've also been interviewed by the gracious Carrie of Try Harder, a most impressive book blog. Check out the interview here. She was also kind enough to write a review of Wall City.... here. We recommend her blog very very highly.

We're guessing that's it. That's all we have to report. Oh wait, what else? Well, ok ok, we've also visited Vermont several times, went to a lovely wedding in Mystic Connecticut and have hung around NYC, walking reall fast. Here are some random pictures from our summer.



See ya in a couple of days, New York!


Hey, Y'all? What's cooking? Some friends in Vermont... and don't they look, ummm.. just delighted to see us?


A lake... We can't remember the name, though.


The Stars!


And then off we went to Mystic... to take in the sights...


Drink a lot...


And of course to celebrate Fiona (on the left) and Jeremiah's (on the right) Wedding. AWESOME, GUYS! AWESOME!


And finally, we can't forget the mushrooms... Mighty Mushroom, mighty mushroom, soak the ground up, grow up str-ong, grow stro-ong, and keep your head up.

OK OK, we're done. Thanks y'all for sticking with us this long. THANKS to the Xeric Foundation. They're the best! and, of course, thanks to our peeps, who have gotten us through this summer.

We'll be at SPX'08 with the new Xeric funded version of Wall City. Hope to see some of yer lovely mugs there.

Your ever loving, ever believing, always MC-ing Sucka MC correspondents from the block, far far out in Brooklyn. NY,
DTWA&K

P.S. We Love You!
