GR2700 R.I.P.

Hey Oilers,

See this lovely machine? That is Oily's new (used) Risograph. I had to plunk down a hefty chunk of change to get it. Last week, the old risograph malfunctioned and it was beyond my know-how to get it back up and running (if anyone wants a GR 2700 for parts get at me). So luckily there was a machine for sale a couple hours away and I jumped on it. Why am I annoying you with this? Well, this really ate into Oily's budget for the rest of the year so, so I have decided to keep the subscription offer open until the end of July. Since I have had to push back printing since my old machine broke, I have more time to let more people in. I didn't hit my goal of 200 subscribers this time out. Currently, we have about 150. If I can get 50 more, I would be a happy camper. Maybe I didn't push this subscription campaign as hard as I could or maybe you all are just sick of Oily. I don't know. So yeah, if you want to subscribe to some cool comic books, now is the time. Get 5 comics in the mail every month. Quality shit. Some names I of cartoonists, I have coming down the pike are: Leslie Stein, Sam Gaskin, Melissa Mendes, me, Michel Fiffe (interview zine), Ben Urkowitz, Darryl Seitchik, and more.

Thanks for reading. I never take your support for granted.

Oh BTW Here comes F.O.O.C.

Oily Comics is now entering into a subscription experiment called F.O.O.C. (Friends of Oily Comics).  I am offering a subscription to ALL of Oily Comics releases for a limited time. Your choice. $30 for 3 months and $50 for 6 months. I hope this isn't too steep a price but I feel like I will make it worth it. I'm giving out extras like an Oily Comics button, a Friends of Oily Comics membership card designed by Michael DeForge, a hand embroidered "O" patch by Melissa Mendes and whatever else I feel like throwing in there. Consider this sort of a fund drive as well. I really want to keep making and publishing mini comics and possibly some bigger productions down the line.

I recently acquired an old Risograph printer which is already making my like with Oily Comics easier. But that thing can also print color but I need some dough to make that happen. When subscribing you are really helping me get to that next level where I can make some cool stuff with talented young cartoonists as well as some more established ones.

So yeah, in other news. Summer is going well. Really getting used to living way out here in the mountains. It's not so good for my verbal skills, though. I'm working away on TEOTFW and a new comic I hope to have at BCGF in November. Thanks for stopping by.
