Sketch Edition Giveaway Sketches!

Posted on November 28, 2015 by Nathan
So a while back I gave away three Special Sketch Editions of Ethnic Albanians Need Not Apply on Goodreads.  I thought y’all might like to see the sketches that went with them. John wanted an alien: scan_0001 Winner Karyn is a librarian, so she asked for something with a “bookworm” theme: scan_0002 And Velda asked for something with the Tenth Doctor: scan_0003

So we’re just a couple of weeks away from hitting comic #600, which means that a second print volume, collecting the second 300 cartoons, is right around the corner.  In celebration, I’m giving away three copies of the first collection, Ethnic Albanians Need Not Apply.

Red-01-300x300[1]Today, tomorrow and Saturday I’ll be at Salt Lake Comic Con! You can find me at the Cold Fusion Media dealer’s table (that’s table Purple 13), where I’ll have sketch editions of Ethnic Albanians Need Not Apply. (Odds are I’ll give you a discount if you tell me that you love CheapCaffeine. Or even that you read it. Or have heard of it.)
