The article itself is about web comics and digital delivery, but Archaia, and The Grave Doug Freshley feature prominently.

With both The Grave Doug Freshley and Inanna's Tears coming your way within a short time frame, my respective partners and I are taking slightly different tacks in promoting these. RV has set up and arranged graphic design for a blog dedicated to our book, and I've posted a few images and comments already.

This whole promotions thing is something I'm still learning about. What are the best approaches and just how effective are they? More effective than not doing anything, I expect.

Doug Press Release

the press release for The Grave Doug Freshley is up at Archaia.

Both ADL and RL have offered lovely testimonials.

Its Commentin'Time!

JH and I have added comments to the first issue of The Grave Doug Freshley, now available at Graphicly. (They've officially dropped he period in the middle of their name.)

The Grave Doug Freshley on Graphic.Ly

I am lifting this directly from my Partner Josh Hechinger's blog. DOUG is finally after years of waiting coming to life albeit for digital download, rather than as a print OGN. If it generates enough response and enthusiasm here, well, a hardcover book may come eventually.

This and That

Well, this is looking like it will be a record low for me for posts in a month, but I have been busy and others have been busy on my behalf. Head Mechanics is still in process and I'll say no more about for now. L'ange de Bastogne is completed, and not a moment too soon. I dragged it out just a bit too long. Not that I was getting tired of it, but simply that I'm eager to get onto some other stuff. The art show at Pt Richmond is going up, but more on that in another post.And I've seen the dustjacket and interior layouts for The Grave Doug Freshley and it looks spectacular! See?
