In the past we have played music by jonathan coulton. He showed up this week on another blog I follow called the show with zefrank. They performed 10 minutes of songs all written about the show. I strongly recommend you check it out if your a fan of Jonathan Coultons or even just a fan of wacky songs.

A FAQ page has been added to the site
(http://www.panel2panel.com/faq.html) where you’ll find a HUGE list of common questions we get and their answers. Questions like “Whatever happened to the original No Stereotypes?” and “Would you be willing to
collaborate on something?” There’s also a question we often get; “How do I get into the comics industry?” which is followed by a very long and thorough list of books that is an excellent jumping off point for
anyone who’s serious about making comics for a living. We feel this list is an important resource for anyone starting out.
2 new columns have joined the site. There was a vote on the forums to pick the new columnist from 2 worthy candidates, Adam Barnett and Jason Brown. Not only was the vote “so” close but their material
covered so different from each other that Glych made the executive decision to have both join. Adam Barnett, blogger for Comics Make No Sense (http://comicsmakenosense.blogspot.com/) will be covering older comics and graphic novels from the main stream with his column “The Procrastinator,” while Jason Brown will be covering independent and small press comics and graphic novels with his column “Shoegazing.” Jason’s been published in many gaming magazines in the UK which, with his addition, officially makes P2P, not only international, but intercontinental.

So here’s the plan in a nutshell:
- Publish a 32-page one-shot comic book this summer
- Fill that book with the best YHT comics from 2006 to present
- Promote the hell out of it!The ultimate goal is to raise more awareness of my little comic strip, and encourage people to buy the collections. If the one-shot sells well, it may even lead to a bi-monthly YHT comic book. I’m not sure what the likelihood of that would be, but I’ve been told it’s a possibility.
But the book has to sell . . .
