A few weeks ago we were elated to see Gabrielle Bell make the cut for Best American Comics 2011 volume. Today we learned that ‘Resolution’ from MOME Vol. 17 (written by Tom Kaczynski & drawn by Dash Shaw) was selected as one of the notable comics for 2011. Congrats Tom & Dash!

The BCGF festival was a blast! Thanks to everyone who stopped by! And thanks to the organizers for another amazing show! It was so busy we didn’t have time to take pictures!

Unfortunately Uncivilized Books will not make it to the MoCCA Festival this year. However two of our cartoonists, Gabrielle Bell and Jon Lewis, will be sharing a table (along with Karen Sneider, Joan Reilly and potentially Robyn Chapman) and will have copies of our books on hand. Gabrielle will have copies of Diary & L.A. Diary as well as some other swag (like this lovely Green Verses poster). Jon Lewis will have his recent Klagen mini and copies of vintage True Swamp material… to prepare you for new True Swamp mini coming in mid-April. Stop by at the show!
