Goats: Infinite Typewriters pics

Thursday, April 16, 2009 - 10:25 AM

I've posted a set of blurry iPhone pics of my just-arrived preview copy of Book 1 (coming out from Del Rey on June 23rd, bookstores everywhere etc. but also available right here from Yours Truly). They don't do justice to the actual book, which is a beauty, but I'll try and get my hands on a better camera soon. In the meantime I hope these will suffice!

The pictures weren't awful. They just whetted my appetite for the book even more.

that's fantastic! i've already read all this, but i'm excited to have a book so that when i'm trying to convince people to read goats and i don't think they'd be open to the idea of reading years of archives on a website, i can just hand them a physical book. "Just read THIS!" i'll say, confident in my knowledge that they'll soon be hooked.

Day one purchase. I love having the strips online, free, and searchable, but to quote somebody who said something about a comic art exhibition at the Hammer Museum last year, comics just aren't framed correctly without a thumb on either side.

Actually the photo isn't bad, looks pretty clear on my end. Congrats on the new book it looks great.

I have been telling myself that I was going to write a book for years now, still have not done it.

Looks great, Jon!

Is it all published strips, or is there new material as well? IMG_0813 seemed new, though maybe it was in "Contains One Space Battle"..

I think it's adorable, sort of like Double-Vision from Too Much Drinking... Internet~Style!

That's probably how "Llama" came to be spelled with two L's... some shepherd combined literacy lessons with drinking games, and hey-- presto!

The spelling that confuses me is Ms Witherspoon's first name, because i have a male relative who spells his first name with a "C" instead of an "S": Reece. And so whenever i'm addressing a salutation to him, i always hesitate and do some head-scratching because i need to dig through old correspondence every time to determine whether i'm naming him properly, or whether i'm accidentally referring to him as though he were some kind of Oscar-winning actress.

It would be so much easier if his name were "Grif" or "Fish". I can spell those without all the headscratchery.

There are seven new pages at the beginning of the book leading into the Space Battle intro. It's mostly a quick intro to the core cast for people picking not familiar with the strip. A lot of the art from the early stuff has also been reworked a little here and there for the sake of consistency.
