Kibbles ‘n’ Bits 4/21/15: Introducing Deerdevil

§ I got a note from Incachild Creative stating that in remembrance of Spectacular Spider-Ham, they made a tribute video called Deerdevil. You can watch it above. I guess it’s funnier if you remember Mark Armstrong’s Spider-Ham, which was part of the kid-oriented Star line, but it might be funny without that. I love it.

§ Another email directed me to this TEST PRESS MoCCA 2015 Review by – Jefe aka Johnny Chiba y la mocca loca. This is a fantastic line-up of comics by about 75% I never even heard of so go rootle around and have fun!

§ Legendary Last Gsap publisher Ron Turner is doing a Reddit AMA today from 12-1 pm (PDT? or EDT? unknown.). Turner is a legend of the Bay Area and he knows a LOT of things that you can ask him about.

§ Hazel Cills interviews Jillian Tamaki about Super Mutant Magic Academy:

You describe on the comic’s Tumblr that the series is kind of like a diary of sorts, too?

It is for sure the most personal work of mine. As an illustrator I’m used to interpreting other people’s content although with Mariko’s books I don’t consider myself just an illustrator, they’re definitely collaboration. But this, just because it was installments and I made them unprompted, did feel like a diary. In 2007 I started a sketch blog when that was sort of a more novel idea than it is now. That was great for just putting things online and building a relationship with people that was more than just finished pieces. You’re sort of showing a peek behind your personality, but eventually I got sick of putting up just sketchbook work. So I feel like the comic kind of replaced that.

§ Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP) and DC Entertainment (DCE) got together thousnads of people worldwide to participate in a 24 hour “dress like a DC superhero” event. Can this be a new comics holiday?
