Unfortunately, it's in Michigan, and I'm not old enough to rent a car (yet). The good news, however, is that our artist Ryan Dow will be there to sell copies of our debut comic, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Jack and Zack Make a Comic</span>!<br /><br />Go to the Kids Read Comics website for more details:<br /><br />http://mlatcomics.com/krc/<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://mlatcomics.com/krc/"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 41px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_euUMnWyqajE/SiMUvtc1gLI/AAAAAAAAAK0/gUySWTj77zY/s320/468x60_krc03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342136392878489778" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Zack<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5291436840778812814-1544975911181430557?l=thejackandzack.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ryan Downoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5291436840778812814.post-29687357595911941972009-04-23T04:16:00.000-07:002009-04-23T04:44:51.970-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_euUMnWyqajE/SfBOwXU9haI/AAAAAAAAAKA/XOqCjHwGV60/s1600-h/Jack-Avatar.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 178px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_euUMnWyqajE/SfBOwXU9haI/AAAAAAAAAKA/XOqCjHwGV60/s320/Jack-Avatar.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327844951981917602" border="0" /></a><br />We've finally found an artist to draw our awesome life story! He draws me too short (I'm way taller in real life), but he's willing to work for free so you get what you pay for. His name is Ryan Dow (yeah, I never heard of him either).<br /><br />The comic series will be called <span style="font-weight: bold;">Jack and Zack Make a Comic</span>. Ryan seems really excited about this project as it will be his first attempt to make a true all-ages comic. Here's a sample of the cover:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_euUMnWyqajE/SfBQJsPsGHI/AAAAAAAAAKI/6Bm4pJ70MYA/s1600-h/cover.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 271px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_euUMnWyqajE/SfBQJsPsGHI/AAAAAAAAAKI/6Bm4pJ70MYA/s320/cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327846486605305970" border="0" /></a><br />Jack<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5291436840778812814-2968735759591194197?l=thejackandzack.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ryan Downoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5291436840778812814.post-31972108881164273432009-04-22T18:41:00.001-07:002009-04-23T04:45:37.214-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_euUMnWyqajE/Se_HYvK8UoI/AAAAAAAAAJo/1M62nbYPicQ/s1600-h/Zack-Avatar.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 192px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_euUMnWyqajE/Se_HYvK8UoI/AAAAAAAAAJo/1M62nbYPicQ/s320/Zack-Avatar.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327696111995736706" border="0" /></a><br />Jack said that I should write something up here. I don't know what I'm supposed to say here. I like to draw, but I'm not that good at it. Jack says I'm awesome at it, but he tends to exaggerate things.<br /><br />It would be nice to be good at something cool, like football. I've never been that good at running, though. Or throwing. Or catching. Or tackling. Or memorizing playbooks. I'm not all that good at anything, really.<br /><br />I asked Jack what people put on these blogs. He said pictures of cats, so here you go:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_euUMnWyqajE/Se_LoXhabaI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/pcUSyShtuwo/s1600-h/378793.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_euUMnWyqajE/Se_LoXhabaI/AAAAAAAAAJ4/pcUSyShtuwo/s320/378793.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327700778571951522" border="0" /></a><br />Zack<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5291436840778812814-3197210888116427343?l=thejackandzack.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ryan Downoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5291436840778812814.post-35593557285173824042009-04-22T04:51:00.000-07:002009-04-22T20:32:46.242-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_euUMnWyqajE/Se8EyULTYJI/AAAAAAAAAJg/LaY7bijp484/s1600-h/Jack-Avatar.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 178px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_euUMnWyqajE/Se8EyULTYJI/AAAAAAAAAJg/LaY7bijp484/s320/Jack-Avatar.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327482146658672786" border="0" /></a><br />Hey everybody! My name is Jack, and I like to make comics. My friend Sally said that I should start a blog. She's pretty cool and really smart when it comes to computer stuff, mostly because her parents are rich and can afford to buy her lots of computers and iPhones and stuff. Yeah, I'm jealous.<br /><br />Anyhoo, I asked my friend Jack if he had anything to say on here, but it looks like he's in the "Zone" right now. He gets that way when he's drawing. I worry about that kid, sometimes.<br /><br />I asked Sally what people put on blogs, and she said mostly its just funny pictures of cats, so here goes:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://icanhascheezburger.com/2009/04/18/funny-pictures-run-save-urselfs/"><img class="mine_3770006" title="funny-pictures-cat-says-you-should-save-yourself" src="http://icanhascheezburger.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/funny-pictures-cat-says-you-should-save-yourself.jpg" alt="funny pictures of cats with captions" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">see more <a href="http://icanhascheezburger.com/">Lolcats and funny pictures</a><br /></div><br />Jack<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5291436840778812814-3559355728517382404?l=thejackandzack.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Ryan Downoreply@blogger.com0
