Edie’s The Best!

gaylord3We’re super proud of Quimby’s employee, Edie Fake for winning the heavily competitive title of Best Alternative Comics Artist Behind the Counter at an Alternative Comics Mecca in the Chicago Reader’s Best of 2010 issue (out today)!

We’d also like to award him with The Best Alternative Comics Mecca Employee Behind An Alternative Comic title.  The same fantastic craftsmanship, design sense and creativity that go into such comics as Gaylord Phoenix and Rico Mc Taco are applied on a daily basis to the store

Way to go Edie!

Dear Deer Wolf Bear Shark and Little Brother

Jul ’10
23
7:00 pm

One and a half years ago, in an attempt to overcome his nigh crippling shyness and to get out of the basement, Brayton J. Cameron began the zine Dear Deer Wolf Bear Shark (Long Reach Publishing) so he wouldn’t just sit in the corner of venues silently weeping in the dark while on tour with local rock band Geronimo!  This kind of worked.    Issue 5 is Brayton’s celebrated final issue.  Some said it was funny, others said it was stupid, he just said the same as issue one, it was the “World’s best content.  World’s worst zine.”

Shaylah Kloska and Lauren Hunter teamed up early this year to create Little Brother, a zine about, well anything, their first issue contained stories, poems, comics, and drawing ranging in topics from actual brothers, to strangers, to an octopus with a typewriter.    Throughout this year Shaylah and Lauren have worked across the ocean, but this event brings the two of them together once again to officially release their 2nd delightful issue and, of course, read a bit from it.

Check Out Neil on Indie Spinner Rack!

Hey! Guess what? This week’s webcast of Indie Spinner Rack features Quimby’s very own Neil Brideau! Apparently, Charlito and Colin Panetta ambushed him (that’s right, “ambushed”) at the MoCCA fest in New York this spring and got him to give a reading from his totally adorable mini comic “What Is This?” The episode also features Liz Baillie, Kenan Rubenstein, Bill Ayers and Ryan Alexander-Tanner. What are you waiting for? Give it a listen here.
