I am not attending SXSW this year, though I'm sure I will someday. I'd like to think that's where we'll all meet someday, and you'll all buy me dinner.

That's the winning bid on the All-Mustache-Edition of the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out, and the amount that'll be donated to Comedy Relief via RedNoseNet.com. If you missed the 24 hour broadcast, it was truly something special. They've tallied £ 3,843.69 so far, and it's never too late to donate.

There's a HOBOTOPIA feed on twitter. It's found here.
There's also an account maintained by Aloysius, which requires significant effort to locate.
I also twitter, though I don't like to talk about it. That's the first rule of twitter.

Thanks, Joshua, for the perfect re-title. If you haven't peeked in on the comments over on flickr, there's been some pretty funny stuff posted over the last week or so.

More about Red Nose Day

Here's the details on the aforementioned charity event coming up this very Friday, straight from the horses mouths*.
I am putting the finishing touches on the All Mustache Edition of the Laugh-Out-Loud Cats Sell Out (which involves drawing lots of mustaches).

This is a spoiler. This is one of the 30 previously-unseen comics from the new book. Avert your eyes if you'd rather the surprise not be spoiled until you see it in print!
Thanks to everyone who has blogged, written, or otherwise transmitted information about the new book.
This will likely be the only book exclusive comic I'll post here. It seemed appropriate.

Following up on previously mentioned matters


Happy Kitteh, originally uploaded by sandrino.

The previously hidden twitter account of Aloysius G. Koford can be found here: http://twitter.com/veryoldman (as previously noted here).
Also: thank you to everyone who has sent a SASE for a free bookplate. So far I've been able to get them back in the mail the very next day. The P.O. Box to which you can send a SASE now appears on the right side of this blog.
Furthermore: I'll be signing books in LA in a few weeks. More on that as things develop.
Too: welcome visitors from BoingBoing!
Finally: Sandrino is a dandy photographer, and I always like seeing his close-ups of the things I send him.

Tonight's upcoming comic comes from an almost true story. I merely chipped my tooth on a king cake baby in 2002.
Also: my great-grandfather's twitter updates appear to the right.
Also also: thanks to everyone who has sent a SASE (see also the right side of this blog). They are heading back to you as I type this.

Happy Mardi Gras!

An important message from Aloysius.

Greetings from Pitcairn Island.
In order to combat the loneliness inherent to manning this desolate numbers station, I've started using twitter.com, as I'm sure many of you have (though I hope for better reasons than mine).
If you would like to find and follow me on Twitter, please refer to the first video featuring me on BoingBoing tv.
My Fark handle is the same as my Twitter handle, with no spaces.
Be the first to find me on Twitter and my no good great-grandson will send you something. [Congratulations @sgnp]
But wait, there's more: from time to time, I will post updates on Twitter that will begin and end with 3 stars. Like so: ***blah blah blah***
Be the very first to properly translate these starred tweets and you will receive one of many possible surprises:
Original art from "the laugh-out-loud cats sell out", signed postcards, or something else.
In order to win, simply be the first to reply with an "at" symbol, followed by my Twitter name, then the decoded message.
If you are the first, I will contact you in due time: there's no need to pester me. I am very old.
You will need to sign up with Twitter in order to win (you were going to anyway), and you can only win something once.


Good night. May the calming hiss of the ocean be your lullaby.

Also: would the first person kind enough to properly this screed please post the proper translate in the comments? [thank you, az and Evil Nickname, et al]

Updated SASE details


SASE, originally uploaded by Ape Lad.

Here are the long-awaited answers to questions asked in the comments and elsewhere:
If you live outside the US, and your country no longer uses IRCs (I'm looking at you, Netherlands), just send a self-addressed envelope.
Also: if you are a member of the fan club, put your member number on the envelope somewhere.
Finally: regular sized envelopes are fine.
Thank you.
