Validation

 BLTX2 was a huge success! Only stayed for about 3 hours so I wasn't able to go around much & check out stuff. But from what I've been hearing there were tons of great books, zines & comics that came out. Had fun hanging out & talking to some komiks peeps, too. 
Thanks to everyone who bought ??? #2! Seeing peoples reactions when they crack open a copy was priceless & I am extremely flattered by all the nice things people said & are saying about the comic...
"...??? #2 was one of the better reads from this summer's BETTER LIVING THROUGH XEROXOGRAPHY. It felt like listening to a girl you've been crazy about for months finally talk to you about her favourite movie." - Adam David (El Bimbo Variations)
"‎???#2 is the !!!" - Dark Chapel (Silent Sanctum Manga!)
I'm not sure if the last one was a compliment though, but I U Chaps! More "Josel & Chappy Show"! I feel validated as a komik-book-making-person. Yey! Props to Josel for cleaning up my sloppy lettering & getting the book printed. Also for being the biggest supporter of my stuff. You da man, BROOO!
Here's the original cover, where my one-armed Deathlok action figure makes an appearance...
If you have anything to say about ???#2 (good, bad, whatever), please leave a comment. Would very much like to know what you thought of the komik. Again, thank you komiks-buying-person! See you next issue (which will be out hopefully by December 2012). Oh yeah! Baro Investigations this (fingers crossed) November 2012! 
P.S. - Check out Rob Cham's The Amazing Topless Head. Rob (who along with his girlfriend Pat are very nice peeps) released a printed version of the komik at BLTX. Reminded me a lot of Invader Zim. Also, buy a copy of SSM Jet at the next 'Kon or at them comic shops (Comic Odyssey / Sputnik)! Fun kid friendly komik done the SSM! way.

Tuwang-tuwa si Christian sa ???, lalong-lalo na dun sa first time lapse page.

Medyo broke ako nung BLTX kaya sa Summer Kon na lang ako bibili.
