THE NEW YORK TIMES LIKES THE FOG MOUND!

Or at least Larry Doyle does. He wrote a really nice review that was in the May 11 issue of the New York Times Book Review.

WEBSITE INTERVIEW

On the occasion of the publication of Simon's Dream, the third volume of our FOG MOUND TRILOGY, Jon Buller was interviewed by Zack Smith for Newsarama, a website devoted to comics and things comics-related. Although the interview was conducted over the phone, we were later sent a transcript. This offered the chance to improve the word choice and syntax, but we thought this might be cheating, so we left it as it was originally spoken. Warning: In the course of the interview, some details of the plot are revealed. Here is the link.

FOG MOUND POST CARDS

These can be seen as either expensive post cards ($10 for the set of 4), or quite inexpensive giclee prints. Each card is approximately 4 1/4 inches by 6 inches. The paper is 100% cotton, and they have been printed by an Epson 2400 printer that uses archival and lightfast inks. Three of the images have been taken from THE TRAVELS OF THELONIOUS, and one from FARADAWN. Color was added by computer using Corel Painter. Have a look.

FOG MOUND T-SHIRTS AND MUGS

There are now four Fog Mound t-shirts and four Fog Mound mugs to choose from, as well as a few non-Fog Mound products. The t-shirt designs are primarily black-and-white, and we feel these look best on the colored shirts, but you can also choose plain white shirts, which cost less. For the mugs, we have chosen the trim colors that appeal to us, but the site allows you to change these to suit your own taste. They can all be seen by clicking here. (If you want a shirt in a size other than the one that is shown, you have to click on the "customize this design" button, and then click on "apparel info.")

HOW TO BE A CARTOONIST

This latest addition to our website is a short course for kids in the art of cartooning. All you need to get started is some paper and a pencil (the pen comes later). The course starts here.
