Well how about that! Though I sent it over to them months ago, the tumbleblog for the upcoming Cartoon Network show “Adventure Time” has just started posting fan art left and right and finally got around to posting mine!

More EoP Fan Art!

October 07, 2009 By: Jim Gibbons Category: Comicks, Grassroots comics love, Real Life Happenings!

Back in July, Post-It Note artist extraordinaire Larry Joe Mitchell became the first person ever to draw a piece of Enemy of Peanuts fan art. I missed meeting up with Mr. Mitchell at Chicago Comic Con to receive the Post-It, but I think that turned out for the best. You see, if I had met him there, I would have never gotten another piece of EoP fan art on the envelope that contained the first Post-It!

Taking the PoP! Quiz

September 24, 2009 By: Jim Gibbons Category: Comicks, Grassroots comics love, Real Life Happenings!, Skimming the Internets

Way back at Chicago Comic-Con, the good fellows from Panels On Page asked me to step in front of the camera and complete their PoP! Quiz. Hosted by mic master Jason Kerouac, I fielded a series of semi-ridiculous questions about comics and the convention while attempting to be professional and hilarious in my haggard state at the end of the weekend. Though only a few of my responses made the final cut, it was a blast to participate and even more exciting to see it cut together all pretty-lookin’ thanks to my man Jason “K-Nice” Knize.

Alright, alright, on to the video… (more…)

Jim’s awesome A-Z poster

September 14, 2009 By: Jim Gibbons Category: Comicks, Grassroots comics love, Real Life Happenings!, Skimming the Internets

On Friday, I got a fantastic package in the mail. I received my “Neill’s A-Z of Awesomeness” poster—ordered from www.NeillCameron.com! And, living up to it’s name, it was/is awesome!

Thank you all!

September 04, 2009 By: Jim Gibbons Category: Comicks, Grassroots comics love, Marginalia, Real Life Happenings!, Skimming the Internets

Hey folks.

Last night, at a little before 8 p.m., I was let go from my job at Wizard Entertainment.

Since then, I have received an overwhelming amount of amazingly supportive, kind and flattering emails, Facebook messages and tweets from a ton of truly great people! Thank you all so much! I guess when the going gets tough, you really see how many wonderful people you’re surrounded with. I’m just grateful to be surrounded by so many.

Also, additional big thanks to Josh Wigler, Sean T. Collins, Mel Caylo, Kiel Phegley, all the fans over at the Wizard Universe Message Boards and the crew at Panels On Pages for voicing their support in the public forum, as well as privately.

TJ Dietsch—an extremely rad guy who was ToyFare’s Associate Editor—was also laid off last night. Check out his blog at www.unitedmonkee.com and spread the love.

Again, thank you so much, everyone! The outpouring of support has been truly touching and has only helped my love grow for all my friends, colleagues and the comic industry as a whole. Thank you.

Enemy of Peanuts’ PoP! video plug

September 03, 2009 By: Jim Gibbons Category: Comicks, Grassroots comics love, Real Life Happenings!, Skimming the Internets

At Chicago Comic-Con, the fellas from Panels On Pages were videoing in full effect and waved me down for an interview at the end of the con. Though—I’m told—parts of the “PoP! Quiz” I took will air in a later video, the PoP!stars had me film a quick plug for their site, Wizard and EnemyOfPeanuts.com that they used in their recent PoP! Invasion video.

My UFragTV interview on YouTube!

August 22, 2009 By: Jim Gibbons Category: Comicks, Grassroots comics love, Real Life Happenings!, Skimming the Internets

Sadly, it seems some camera problems kept the first—and larger—portion of my interview from being recorded, but the fantastic folks at UFrag took the time to pop up a YouTube video of their footage featuring me. Thanks guys!
