Yo Gabba Gabba Comics

I recently received an advance copy of Good Night, Gabbaland from Oni Press. First of all, it looks gorgeous. Artist Matt Loux and the Oni design team did a terrific job with the visuals. The book is a "board comic," a comic book printed on thicker paperboard just like those picture books made for the smaller but rougher readers out there like my two (almost three) year old son. I wrote the book especially for him because he's the biggest little Gabba fan in a house of Gabba fans.

Oni is also releasing a second Yo Gabba Gabba board comic this month: Gabba Ball by cartoonist, animator and all around cool cat Chris Eliopoulos. Look for both books at your local comic shop starting November 17 and bookstores on November 30. Just in time for Christmas!

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love John Byrne

Someone named haiku321 on YouTube created a "fan film" (for lack of a better term) out of the short comic story "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love John Byrne" from The Copybook Tales series created by yours truly and artist Tim Levins (who also sent me the link).
