So if you want to do your research at the Roswell Public Library, you gotta head down on Tuesday or Saturday between the hours of 10 and 6. The other five days (because God forbid they open on Sunday) are curbside-pickup only. My local library ain’t much help either since they’ve moved to only being open 2 days a week. The problem is I don’t know very much about El Paso, the 1920s, or Russian vampires. Kind of a weird west story where a Russian vampire fights the Klan. In the meantime, I’ve also been throwing around the idea of a vampire novel set in El Paso, TX around 1925 or so. I’ll let you fine folks know once issue 1 is ready to go. A little steep maybe, but after printing and postage costs, I’ll only be making about 50 cents per comic. Each comic is about 8 pages and will cost just 3 dollars. What all that means is while I’m letting Bubblegum-Man fade into obscurity, soon I’ll be making hundreds of mini-comics available to you, my loyal minions. I took some advice from comics legend Chris Staros and started working on a series of mini-comics called Secret Operations, focusing on the satirical, self-aware aspects of my writing and incorporating Twilight Zone-style twists to each self-contained tale. So allow me to take this time to say “Oops! I totally meant to have a newsletter this month and just plain didn’t have time.” It’s a lame excuse, but the upside is that means I’ve been super busy this month working on my nonprofit and creating comics like the one at the top of this page. They made like it was a mistake, but it was a marketing gimmick, and it worked well enough that you can still find “Oops! All Berries”-style cereal in stores today. When I was a kid, Captain Crunch cereal did a promotion called “Oops! All Berries” where they sent out boxes of cereal filled with only the berry-flavored “crunch berries” and no regular corn puffs.
