I went to my first San Diego Comic-Con three weeks ago. Long story short, it was a work-filled, more or less sleepless, alcohol-infused 6-day bender of nerdiness. Long story even shorter, I had a blast.

I really should have realized this before, and it’s kind of a little thing, but I just noticed that my name appears in every Dark Horse comic book. In the company colophon featured in each Horsepower letters column, my name is listed alphabetically under the marketing department header.

After blogging yesterday’s Post-It doodles, I received a friendly prompt from Dark Horse super fan and knowledgeable comics aficionado Dirk Bauman reminding me that I owe him a doodle. I set blue Uniball pen to flimsy yellow paper and here’s what I came up with. It’s heavily inspired by this blog post from Dirk’s Comic Book Corner.

I’ve learned that one of the nicest parts of my job is that I am frequently exposed to books that I might not have encountered were I not attempting to get them publicity. One of these recent surprises—I’m ashamed to say “recent,” as his work is really tremendous—was the cartooning of Graham Annable.

Now, I won’t make a habit of flooding this blog with all the news and promotional links I helped to arrange at my day job, but as I’m only in my third week at Dark Horse, I figure one post full of links won’t kill the ol’ EoP! Plus, after two weeks of learning the ropes, I feel like this is the week I really started getting into the swing of things—and I “swang” hard! These links are evidence of that “swingage!”

Time to get back into this blogging game, one post at a time…

Though this blog over the past month has been almost entirely dedicated to moustaches, their greatness and why they’re an incredibly motivating reason to donate money to help combat men’s cancer, there actually has been a bit more than just facial hair pushing my life forward of late.

Jim Gibbons.
Currently, Jim Gibbons is a publicity coordinator at Dark Horse Comics. Please make an effort to read all their books and comics. They are fantastic! (Seriously. Read them.)
At some point in 2009, Jim decided to take his childhood hobby of doodling in the margins of his notebooks and attempted to hone his cartooning skills to a level above fledgling. All his current cartooning and illustration efforts can be viewed in the Webcomics section of this blog. Of late, a great deal of this doodling has been slowed by real life activities. However, you can still check out his “cartoons” and secure your place in the history of awesomeness by purchasing something from his Awesome Online Shop!
Once upon a time, Jim was a journalist. A semi-comprehensive collection of his work can be viewed in the Journalism section, though many of the links there are now inactive for unknown reasons.
Also, a great many aspects of the man who is Jim Gibbons were fashioned through ten summers of camp life. Most of Jim’s best stories, and many of his happiest memories, come from the time he spent at summer camp. Read more about them at his summer camp memoir Nothing More American. (Though it’s rarely updated.)
