I got some Soapy fan art from my friend Britt Sabo in my inbox this morning…

It’s My Little Soapy! Having two daughters, I’ve actually had a lot of good times playing My Little Pony, especially using Scootaloo’s remote control scooter to run into things. It is actually the most fun remote control toy I’ve ever played with, as it can go forwards, backwards, and right (fast)… but not left… the limitations make it a fun challenge to get it where you want it to go, like full speed into Pinkie Pie’s Balloon House. My bronie friends Ted and Ryan are really going to dig this.
Britt is a fantastic cartoonist who you all should familiarize yourselves with if you haven’t already. Her Xeric winning collaboration with Anna Bratton, Francis Sharp in the Grip of the Uncanny, is indeed a wonder to behold… and she has some other wonderful stuff to witness on her website as well… do yourself a favor and check out Ghost Jars there.
Thanks, Britt!
In the event you are a long-time reader of Soapy the Chicken… you are probably also a reader of Sean Tenhoff’s ultra-violent comedy The Bean Men. Sean just posted a wonderful little video clip of the bean men in action the other month. You can view it here. I encourage you to go there, enjoy, and hassle Sean to post some more of his uniquely crazy-ass comic strips!

This site will have a new strip every Monday for the foreseeable future until it doesn’t. I’ve got the next month in the can, and a number of others in various stages of completion. I hope you’ll stick with me. You can subscribe here, if you’re inclined.

If you have a copy of the Soapy the Chicken book, you’ve already read the above strip and the one coming up next week, which I have had in the can a long time but not posted until now. More Soapy strips will be coming soon… I’m going to shoot for weekly updates for the time being.
Also, you may want to check out my new updating-every-Friday collaboration with my good friend Ben Zmith, Monkey’s Paw. The first four strips have already been posted here, here, here and here.
You can subscribe to the feed for Monkey’s Paw here.
I hope you enjoy the comics, if you decide to follow them!

I’ll have copies of the Soapy the Chicken book for sale… and if you buy one there, I’ll draw a free sketch in it for you. I hope to see you there!
I will be drawing cartoons this Friday with the Cartoonist Conspiracy to raise funds for Altered Esthetics, the wonderful non-profit community gallery we collaborate with, at their 7th anniversary party next Friday. For a suggested donation of $5, we’ll peer into your soul and give you a drawing of one of the following:
Psychic Readings
Dream Interpretations
Fortunes
Spirit Animals
Inner Demons
I haven’t updated in a long time, I know. One thing I have been up to is organizing an event called Mini-Comics Day, which is happening tomorrow.
On Mini-Comics Day, participating cartoonists from around the world will write, draw, and print copies of a mini-comic, completing the entire process from start to finish in a day or less. Anyone in the world can participate.
We currently have sixteen sites listed around the world planning events for Mini-Comics Day. If you are interested in hosting an event, let me know… email me at webmaster(at)cartoonistconspiracy.com.
Here is the scoop about the Minneapolis event which I will be participating in:
As with all our events, it is free and open to anyone who wants to participate. Table space is provided on a first-come, first-served basis. We hope to be getting started at 10:00AM sharp.
The copier on site, provided by our generous hosts at The Minnesota Center for Book Arts, will be available for use for a $5 donation… however, Big Brain Comics is giving us $50 to put towards this fee, so the first 10 people to use the copier will have their fee covered. Obviously, there will be a lot of demand for the copier at certain times of the day, so please be courteous of others and don’t bogart the machine. You’ll want to bring a $5 bill if you plan on using the on-site copier.
Wet Paint will be providing some free supplies, and will have useful items for sale for part of the event.
Big Time Attic will be donating some paper.
The Cartoonist Conspiracy will be providing some copies of our How to Make Mini-Comics mini-comic for folks to assemble and refer to.
We’ll be having an after party, where we will be giving out the prize for the Best Local Mini-Comic of the Day. This will be a block away from Book Arts in the side room at Grumpy’s Downtown (1111 Washington Ave. S.) from 5:30 to 9:00PM. We’ll clear out of the side room at 9:00 (a band will be taking over the space), and the fun will continue until whenever in the main room of the bar.
There will be a prize given out for the Best Local Mini-Comic of the Day. The prize will include a copy of the book Newave! The Underground Mini Comix of the 1980s, courtesy of Big Brain Comics, a Lutefisk Sushi box set and a copy of BIG FUNNY courtesy of Altered Esthetics, and probably some other goodies.
Obviously, only comics made entirely on the day of the event will be eligible for the prize. To enter your mini-comic, drop 4 copies of it in the box we will have at the Book Arts event, or bring it before 6:30 to the side room of Grumpy’s Downtown. Make sure to include your name, address, email address and other contact information you think is pertinent with your submission. All submitted comics will also be included in a reading rack at the upcoming Art? show at Altered Esthetics in May.
The submitted comics will be read and a winner will be determined by three local non-cartoonists; author of Superheroes, Strip Artists & Talking Animals: Minnesota’s Contemporary Cartoonists Britt Aamodt, Big Brain Comics proprietor Michael Drivas, and Altered Esthetics founder Jamie Schumacher.
Please do spread the word to everyone you know who likes to make comics! If you use facebook, you may want to check out the Mini-Comics Day facebook page.
