Previous Post: The Epilogue

Mark and I missed our train to Minneapolis last month for MIX (long story [actually, short story: we left too late for the station]), so we ended up renting a car and driving the entire way. There's a lot of America between St. Louis and Minneapolis: about nine hours of cornfields, six hours during which the only song on the radio is "Take It Off" by Ke$ha, and three hours during which the only food you can purchase is cheese curds. There's also Iowa's Biggest Frying Pan.

Once we got there, though, it was a Small Comics Press Temporary Editor's dream: we met several Grimalkin favorites (including aforementioned Noah Van Sciver and Dave O'Shell, Sam Sharpe, and Reynold Kissling), networked with potential Grimalkin favorites, and got little pieces of our souls stolen by the local metromix page.

Mark showed me the ways of the big city, including how to use an ATM and how to order room service. I paid big money for a tiny gin and tonic.

New Releases from Noah Van Sciver and O'Shell!

Mark and I are getting ready to embark on 15 hour+ journey to display our goods at the Minneapolis Indie Xpo (MIX). Hasn't aero-flight technology made it possible to get from St. Louis to Minneapolis in a matter of hours, you ask? The answer is: yes, it has, but Grimalkin Press travels in style, via Amtrak. Taking the Amtrak is a good way to double or triple your trip time, spend nearly as much money as you would flying, eat weird, grainy veggie burgers, pay $10 for a BudLight, and sit next to people who want to cut your head off, but Mark and I happen to enjoy these things.

Anyway, the main purpose of this post is not to make you jealous about our train trip, but to announce the release of two new Grimalkin publications: Noah Van Sciver's hilarious memoir, Noah Novella, and Dave O'Shell's funny-sad memorial of his father, Owe Apostrophe. We'll get these up on our Etsy store and into your eager hands ASAP.

Noah's so good he has a religion named after him!

O'Shell does his laundries at the laundromat, just like you and me!

See you at MIX!
