I took the Jung Personality Test and came out in the middle of the road.

Go see how you do. Free Jung Personality Test (similar to Myers-Briggs/MBTI)
Shawn Hoke over at Size Matters, the mini-comic blog, has some reviews of a few of my minis. Save Me, So and Mail Stop.
I love it when a robot comes together. Like little Alonzoid here.
Well, SPACE was fun. I got an award for being a nominee for the Day Prize Awards. Dave Sim gave out the awards and said Zig Zag was “sincerely funny material”. How cool is that? I had no idea I would be getting an award for being a nominee, thus I gave a crappy speech at the awards ceremony. Check it here.

Adrew Davis made it to the show and was able to set up on the extra table beside us. Josh Cotter was there also but of course I didn’t take any photos.
Here’s the only drawing I did except for one in the crazy jam comic that Rob Ullman was passing around.
Uncle Kitchen even made it to the show. He was feeling lousy though.
Rob Venditti, Andy Runton and I rode up in Andy’s CRV. We had a flat and changed it on the side of a very busy highway. Of course I don’t have pics of that. Or pics of the 2 hours of driving I actually did! (Yes I drove.) But thankfully Andy was driving when we got the flat.
After the show we went to eat at P.F. Chang’s but luckily it was packed out and we couldn’t get in. So Rob U, Galen Showman, Rob V, Andy and Me headed on down the strip to Fadó Irish Pub, very yummy. We met Shana, Andy’s online buddy, who was able to hang with our comic geekiness all night. Afterwards we headed to The Cheesecake Factory, and I’d like to say I ate the best cheesecake ever, but I only had water cause I ate to much Shepards Pie and Chips. But they had like 5 billion different cheese cakes and I wished Holli was there with me.
In Conclusion:
As much as I’d like to say “this show rocked the world,” it was pretty much a wash for me. I didn’t get to walk around a lot cause not wanting to spend a wad of money. There wasn’t a bunch of people buying, not a single Attic Bugs T-shirt sold! I did win my first comic award, sold all my collages, slept with Andy and hung with new and old friends. But I think it’s probably the last time I’ll be going to SPACE. Unless it’s the real one with all the little twinkle things and blackness, at NASA.
I made up these little collage pieces to take to SPACE with me this weekend. I’ll be driving for 9 or so hours with my buddies Andy Runton and Rob Venditti. That’s guaranteed to be the funnest part. Oh, and hanging with Josh Cotter and Rob Ullman all day on Saturday should be extra cool also.
I’m up to 450 robots drawn for my robot mailing list.

What robot mailing list? Why the one you can join if you send an e-mail to:
3minuterobots-subscribe@jchriscampbell.com
You’ll become one of the “3MR” Army getting robots in your e-mail almost everyday.
Most of the robots look more Campbellesque like this little guy here.

A fun time for kids of all ages. Costumed or not. Thanks to everyone who came out to see me and pick up some free comics. Click here for more photos from my signing.
This is it folks! Kooky cartoonist J Chris Campbell fills it to the brim in this jumbo-sized issue of Zig Zag. It’s a barmy brew of businessmen, clerks, clowns, robots and especially bugs. Things have spiraled out of control for hapless friends, the Attic Bugs. Follow these lovable scamps as they get lost in the woods, battle monsters and find a new friend.

Hopefully you’ve all got your hands on the 2006 Free Comic Book Day offering of The Preposterous Adventures of IronHide Tom. It totally rocks and has a one page Attic Bugs Story in the back! If not, how about a look at the Apple Dumpler Story I did for the 2005 FCBD AdHouse Books – Superior Showcase. Featureing the Apple Dumpler and his chum Strudel. Enjoy.
I send out robots via e-mail. Drawn on the computer, with a mouse and sent almost everyday. Sometimes when I’m drawing it doesn’t want to be a robot. Thus was the case for Maurice the Horse and Gill his Enchanted Horseshoe.
Mr. Priddy wanted to see some other people’s take on IronHide Tom from his Free Comic Book Day story. So I did this up for him. It’s Ironhide Tom and the Creepy Cavern Critters.
