Nobody Puts Soda Popinski in the Corner

That hippo question is really something people have asked in interviews. It is allegedly designed to either test your creativity or engineering skills. They always look at me funny when I say “send in Little Mac” and then start air boxing. Seems to be the point in which I get ushered out expeditiously. Our one shot Sci Fi comic book is now live on comiXology! You can find out more about it at the [Wayward Raven site](https://waywardraven.com/) or [pick it up at cX for just 1.99](https://www.comixology.com/inFusion/digital-comic/551519?ref=c2VhcmNoL2luZGV4L2Rlc2t0b3Avc2xpZGVyTGlzdC90b3BSZXN1bHRzU2xpZGVy). -Mark “Wants Hippopotamus for Christmas” I honestly can’t say which would stress me out more: sitting through another job interview, or getting in the ring with Mike Tyson. At least with Tyson, it’ll be over quickly. -Alex “The Original Glass Joe”

Thank you sir, may I have another?

Thank you sir, may I have another?

Personality tests are stupid. Mine keeps coming back with a “404 file not found.” Maybe that’s why coworkers keep poking me in the chest and shouting at me. My name is not Siri! Speaking of tests, go to comiXology and [get The Committee issue #2 today](http://bit.ly/2wbTFFE)! Seriously, what are you waiting for? It is making it’s debut on the platform just in time for New Comic Book Day. Need more info on The Committee? Just click [here](https://wayward-raven.squarespace.com/config/). Thanks! -Mark “Made You Click”

Why not Southpaw Sundays?

Why not Southpaw Sundays?

Just one week away from New York Comicon! I can’t believe this is our sixth year exhibiting. We’re looking forward to seeing all of our friends and hope to keep making new ones. We’d love it if you drop by and see us. We are in our usual spot on the show floor by Marvel, **booth 1266**. Hope to see you there! -Mark “No I’m not Comiconning You” I guess Sebastian has it pretty easy doing temp work for Zeus. I would assume Loki wouldn’t be as fun to work with. -Alex “Dionysus’s Stunt Double” Probably want to stay away from that Charon guy too… Mark “Not Going Out In The Styx”

Grab your ankles, please

Grab your ankles, please

New York Comic Con is here again! We are incredibly excited to be exhibiting for the sixth year in a row! We’ll be in our normal location, **booth 1266** on the show floor in small press (one row over from Marvel). Hope you stop by and say hello! -Mark “Livin’ the Con Life” I’m just going to say that I had suggested an alternative ending to this strip, but Mark had to reign me in. Let that sink in for a minute. – Alex “Not Safe For Work” For the record, it surprised me as well. Probably best if you stayed away from some of those naughty sites. -Mark “Wagging His Finger in a Scolding Motion”

I prefer starlight mints in mine…

A huge shout-out to everyone who stopped by and helped make NYCC a huge success for us! It was great to see you and we really appreciate your support. Thank you so much, you folks are the reason we make comics and webcomics. Looking forward to seeing you all again either next year or at another con soon! -Mark “Super Grateful and Still in Need of Copious Amounts of Rest” First time I ever made hot cocoa that wasn’t from a packet, I used Hersey’s Cocoa and Starlight mints. It’s become something of a tradition every year. One time I managed to find Peppermint Marshmallows. Oh what a glorious day.
