			<description>&lt;p&gt;You may recall &lt;a href=&quot;index.php?option=com_myblog&amp;amp;show=Sorry-you-re-not-at-San-Diego-Have-your-Con-experience-anyway-with-these-amazing-savings-offers.html&amp;amp;Itemid=113&quot;&gt;the special offer we made&lt;/a&gt;  during Comic-Con this year for &amp;quot;sketch editions&amp;quot; of several of our books. While most of the sketches for that offer were done by their respective artists to-order, &lt;a href=&quot;frankstack&quot;&gt;Frank Stack&lt;/a&gt;  did a bunch of extras in advance, and so we&amp;#39;re able to offer them once more FREE with purchase of Frank&amp;#39;s book &lt;a href=&quot;browse-shop/the-new-adventures-of-jesus-the-second-coming.html&quot;&gt;The New Adventures of Jesus: The Second Coming&lt;/a&gt;! Order while supplies last and you&amp;#39;ll get a randomly-selected sketch at no extra charge. We made sure we got scans of the sketches before we send &amp;#39;em out &amp;mdash; he drew them 4 to a page, as shown below, but they&amp;#39;ve since been quartered. Click each image for a larger version. Oh my gosh they sure are great &amp;mdash; you can&amp;#39;t go wrong with any of &amp;#39;em!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;images/stories/bookplates/stack-01.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;images/flog/mike/201108/stack-01.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Frank Stack sketches 1&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;594&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;images/stories/bookplates/stack-02.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;images/flog/mike/201108/stack-02.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Frank Stack sketches 2&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;592&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;images/stories/bookplates/stack-03.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;images/flog/mike/201108/stack-03.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Frank Stack sketches 3&quot; width=&quot;450&quot; height=&quot;604&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description>

			<title>Sorry you're not at San Diego? Have your Con experience anyway with these amazing savings &amp; ...</title>

			<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;images/flog/mike/201107/comicnon.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Comic-Non&quot; width=&quot;246&quot; height=&quot;243&quot; /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Okay, we can&amp;#39;t offer you the ninety-minute wait in ninety-degree weather outside the convention center, the greasy ten-dollar pizzas, the terrifying crush of Saturday afternoon attendees here to get an autograph from a Battlestar: Galactica co-star, or the sight of costumed attendees who apparently only chose the Flash costume because their more appropriate pick, Jabba the Hutt, was out. But what we can do is this!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SORRY YOU WON&amp;#39;T GET THE EARLY BOOKS?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The following books will have their world premiere in San Diego. If you order them directly from us we will have them sent to you directly from our main U.S. distributor&amp;#39;s warehouse where they land on their journey from overseas in August, which means you will be getting your copy a few days before even the first of our distributors get them. (Note: U.S. orders only. Rush shipping not available &amp;mdash; choose Media Mail from the shipping options to avoid being overcharged.) To this list we will even add The Armed Garden, The Cabbie, and Walt Disney&amp;#39;s Mickey Mouse by Floyd Gottfredson Volume 2, three books that for various reasons will miss San Diego and thus you will really be the first customers to get!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;armedgarden&quot;&gt;The Armed Garden&lt;/a&gt; by David B.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;artofjoekubert&quot;&gt;The Art of Joe Kubert&lt;/a&gt; (edited by Bill Schelly)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;cabbie1&quot;&gt;The Cabbie Vol. 1&lt;/a&gt; by Mart&amp;iacute;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;peanuts16&quot;&gt;The Complete Peanuts 1981-1982&lt;/a&gt; by Charles M. Schulz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;peanuts15-16&quot;&gt;The Complete Peanuts 1979-1982 Box Set&lt;/a&gt; by Charles M.

Just hit those links above and you&amp;#39;ll see links to download PDF excerpts, and stay tuned for our usual photo and video previews.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SORRY YOU WON&amp;#39;T GET SKETCHES?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some of the cartoonists who will be attending the convention &amp;mdash; &lt;a href=&quot;joycefarmer&quot;&gt;Joyce Farmer&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;gilberthernandez&quot;&gt;Gilbert Hernandez&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;paulhornschemeier&quot;&gt;Paul Hornschemeier&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;markkalesniko&quot;&gt;Mark Kalesniko&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;johnnyryan&quot;&gt;Johnny Ryan&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;frankstack&quot;&gt;Frank Stack&lt;/a&gt;  and &lt;a href=&quot;estherpearlwatson&quot;&gt;Esther Pearl Watson&lt;/a&gt;  &amp;mdash; have agreed to provide anyone not attending the convention who buys one or more of their books off our website this week with a personalized sketch which will be mailed to him or her! (Note that sketches will be mailed separately from the books and at a later date.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SORRY YOU CAN&amp;#39;T SHMOOZE WITH THE OWNERS?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Part of everyone&amp;#39;s San Diego experience is to ask the Fantagraphics moguls penetrating questions such as &amp;quot;Where the hell is &lt;a href=&quot;pogo1&quot;&gt;Pogo&lt;/a&gt;?&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Why don&amp;#39;t you publish XXXX??&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Which &lt;a href=&quot;jacquestardi&quot;&gt;Jacques Tardi&lt;/a&gt;  album should I buy first?&amp;quot; For this weekend only, if you have a question for Gary Groth, Kim Thompson, or Eric Reynolds, add your question to your order and whoever you&amp;#39;re addressing will personally answer it!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SORRY YOU CAN&amp;#39;T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF DESPERATION SALES?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the last day of the convention, as Gary, Kim, and Eric survey the piles of unsold books and &amp;quot;God, do we have to lug all these back home?&amp;quot; panic sets in, suddenly fantastic sales deals begin to materialize faster than you can say &amp;quot;HOW MUCH for that Box Set?&amp;quot; Therefore we are not only offering 20% OFF EVERYTHING on our website &amp;mdash; use coupon code FANTACON11 at checkout &amp;mdash; but a whopping &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fantagraphics.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&amp;category_id=698&amp;option=com_virtuemart&amp;Itemid=62&quot;&gt;50% OFF ALL our biggest and heaviest books&lt;/a&gt;  (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fantagraphics.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&amp;category_id=698&amp;option=com_virtuemart&amp;Itemid=62&quot;&gt;see them all here&lt;/a&gt;  &amp;mdash; note that items are discounted 40%, which works out to 50% when the coupon discount is applied) during the convention and beyond, from Thursday, July 21 (that&amp;#39;s today!) through Monday, July 25 &amp;mdash; and you won&amp;#39;t even have to lug them home or pay all those extra baggage fees! We&amp;#39;ll send them to you!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;See? THIS IS BETTER THAN ATTENDING COMIC-CON!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Shannon Wheeler will briefly present the historic  impact of comics on issues of contemporary social relevance and give a  quick overview of why this project was conceived and what it hopes to  accomplish. He&amp;#39;ll then present his sketches from the Gulf Coast and show  how he and collaborator Steve Duin transformed them into a compelling  portrait of what hope and challenges remain along a ravaged coastline,  one awash in both seafood and oil, that will be changed as irrevocably  as those Oregonians that chose to bear witness to the tragedy. Q&amp;amp;A  session to follow.   	Room&amp;nbsp;9&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whew! Get ready for a lot of running from room to room. Why, you&amp;#39;ll barely have time to hit our booth and buy books! &lt;/p&gt;</description>
