Dress your DS games in Tiny Cartridge X Mare Odomo stickers!
I’m unable to control my excitement about getting to reveal the culmination of literally years of secret work: our Tiny Cartridge X Maré Odomo “Tiny Cart Sticker Pack,” produced and sold by Fangamer.
With these, you can decorate your DS or 3DS cartridges (or, anything, really) with the face of our mascot or the cover of an imaginary game by Maré!
Each sheet includes:
- Face in a Cart - Tiny Cartridge’s iconic mascot, now available as a for-real tiny cartridge
- Letters to an Absent Father - A tender note from Maré Odomo’s wistful comic series
- (Creepy) Black - Own the haunted game, the creepiest of pastas
- Kissing Party - Give your lips practice with casual pecks or passionate make-out moments
- A special (virtual) gift!
This is basically my favorite thing we’ve ever done, and you can get your own sheet for $5. I hope you enjoy them! Thanks to Fangamer and Maré for working with us on this weird daydream of a project, and thanks to you for even briefly considering a purchase!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!
The Last and Final Word: Radstronomical
Radstronomical has just begun his journey into independent videogame development. He scored something of a hit with his first release, Ultimate Flirt-Off. It was a game that he wanted to expand upon but he worried that the complexity of his vision might take away from the bare-bones concept.
Hello, all of you who read of my tumblr! Did you know I was interviewed on Quote Unquote? I was! And you can read it.
Awww, I was reading this and Diego gave me a little shout-out. If you haven’t played Ultimate Flirt-Off yet, then… you… should.

Oh, I somehow missed this post! From November!

I do a lot of things last-minute. I like the momentum and spontaneity. Also, I’m dumb. I spent most of yesterday working on my four pages for kuš #10. The theme is OCEANS. My name means ocean! Or sea. Whatever.
A big mug of coffee, multiple steeps of black tea, a Red Bull, 5-Hour Energy, Naked Juice, an apple, some bananas for hydration [citation needed], two White Chocolate Macadamia Clif Bars. Radio Soulwax and the UNIQLO calendar (on mute) Cinch‘d/split-screened to give me something to look at. Then I started looping Brandon’s jam, which was at 40(?) plays last night… and is at 88 this morning. I don’t know how much of that was from me. (YouTube, for posterity).
I was in the middle of sending in my pages, and then I noticed that the deadline is the 25th, not the 21st. I thought I was late. But I’m not. I’m going to change a few things, but I’m really happy with how it turned out. It’s about scuba-diving in Okinawa.

William Gibson said something about capturing the zeitgeist.
And I drew this comic in a Michael Litven / catsnrats / ebbits style.
went to the William Gibson thing at Elliott Bay last Tuesday.
I’ve only read Neuromancer, and that was in high school. I should probably read more of his books, but I follow him on twitter. That’s worth something.
I drew some cyberpunks in the audience, and wrote some stuff down.
I was going to spend New Year’s in California with my family,
but I changed my flight. And I got that kiss.
Open Submissions for “DRAWN Out”: the LGBTQ+ Coming Out Comics Anthology!
It’s one of the scariest/happiest things a queer person can do: come out. Whether bad or good, funny or dramatic, it usually makes for an interesting story, and we want to hear those stories.
Drawn OUT is a comic book anthology of nonfictional coming out stories, and we are looking for submissions. We’re looking for 1-6 page stories in sequential art (comic) form, that revolve around coming out as any form of gender/sexual minority. We want to see the full spectrum, and we will be making sure as many identities are represented as possible.
From now through March 31st (2012), we’ll be accepting proposals. Proposals should include:
- Name (and pseudonym if you don’t want to publish under your real name)
- Summary of the story you’ll be telling
- Sample of the art
- Estimated number of pages
Don’t send completed pages. We don’t want you to do a bunch of hard work without knowing if it’ll get in the book. This is just the proposal stage. If you’re not an artist, you can find an artist to draw your story for you. Do this before you submit your proposal.
Once the submission period ends, editors Kate and Megan will figure out which stories we want to use. We will then contact you and then you can start working on your comic pages. You’ll have until September 30th to turn it in.
We are in talks with publishers, and it will most likely be in full color! We’ll be doing a kickstarter/indiegogo thing to fund it, with 100% of the funds going towards printing as many books as we can, and paying the people whose work is in it. (Payment has not been determined yet, but we’re making sure you get something for your effort.) We will be giving away many copies to schools and libraries, making sure these stories can be accessed by queer people (especially younger ones).
Follow us to stay up to date on future announcements and details of this project.
Submissions and questions may be sent to: drawnoutanthology@gmail.com
Me and Kate talked about this a couple months ago, and decided that we had to do it for real. Spread the word, please! Any kind of queer coming out stories are wanted! I know there are tons of LGBT+ comickers out there.
Sounds rad.
Zero Suit Samus for a book Chris Furniss is putting together soon that will feature his 31 days of cute Samus doing cute things, plus more stuff. Chris is a solidly cool guy who is solid and cool.
oh yeah, I need to do this too.
