Looking to raise travel money for Anthrocon next month, so I'm selling off old Sunday comics I collected over the years on eBay. Newspapers such as Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and more!

See the listings at https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ss.....arles_brubaker

Happy bidding!

Throughout the 2000s I saved up hundreds of Sunday comics sections from various newspapers (we traveled a lot). I initially wrote to the Billy Ireland Museum about donating them but they decided to turn it down, so now I'm gonna look into selling them off.

To start off with, a set of Stars and Stripes comics sections. Since we lived near a US base in Japan we got Stars and Stripes all the time, so I have a lot of those

Looks like I will be having a Dealer's Room table at Mephit Furmeet in Memphis this August! Even though I only live about 2 hours from Memphis this will be my first time there.

Hopefully I'll be seeing you there!

Anyone based in Louisville? LEO Weekly, an alt-weekly publication there, is running "Lauren" on an occasional basis, and I'd like to have a tearsheet for the most recent edition (dated May 9-22).

Let me know if you can help out!

All the slots are filled up! Thanks for everyone who ordered

You can now get the Kitz 'n' Katz book I edited from the following sites, in order from where we get the most revenue to the least

INGRAM - https://shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?.....KHSj41kVmaeLy9
AMAZON - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F2N4569G
BOOKSHOP - https://bookshop.org/p/books/kitz-n.....=9798990285637
BARNES AND NOBLE - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/ki.....=9798990285637

Ingram so far only delivers to US addresses, but the other three links should ship internationally.

I will update the list when more sites take them in. In addition, a few physical comic book shops and indie bookstores have picked up the book as well. Will provide the list once they get sent out.

If there's a local bookstore where you live, you can likely get them to order the book for you, as it is available for distribution via Ingram.

People asked for non-Amazon purchasing options for the "Kitz 'n' Katz" book.

I just set up a purchasing link at Ingram! Get it here!

Thanks to everyone who purchased the book so far.

The "Kitz 'n' Katz" book is now available for purchase!

You can order your copy now at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F2N4569G

This book contains
- All the strips that ran in Comics Buyers' Guide (1981-1985)
- All the pages done for the comic books (1984-1987)
- An introduction by Patrick McDonnell of "Mutts" fame, including a spin-off strip he created called "Tik 'n' Tak"
- A bio of Bob Laughlin by yours truly, including samples of his unsold strips
- Samples of his syndicated strip "Cuffy"
- Samples of "The Collectors", a panel he did for Sports Collectors News.

Really happy with how the book came out :)

I have some medical bills to pay off, so I'm reopening commissions early.

I finally clicked the "Stats" on my FA page, which lets you see the most favorited submissions/most commented/etc

I thought it was neat. Looking at this, this is my most favorited art on FA with 71. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/60068320/

People seem to like seeing Lauren and others in bikinis ;3
