First, the cool thing: I received my author's copies of <i>Chicks Dig Comics</i> last night, and they are genuinely gorgeous. Every essay in this book, even the ones that relate to properties I'm not emotionally invested in, makes me go "oh, my people, oh, we are growing every day." I have a copy in my bag to take to my comic book store tonight, and I will give it to Joe, the owner, and say thank you. And he will understand, because he is awesome, and also, he is used to me.<br /><br />You can order <i>Chicks Dig Comics</i> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Chicks-Dig-Comics-Celebration-Comic/dp/1935234056">on Amazon.com</a>; it will be released, retail-wise, on April 10th. If you love comics, this is the book for you, regardless of gender. It says, very clearly, "you are not alone," both to men wondering what the female experience is like, and to women wondering if anyone else has ever <i>had</i> that female experience. I am so pleased to be a part of it. (Also, I am mentioned on the back cover. Great yayness.)<br /><br />Now, the favor: I'm preparing for the second batch of "Wicked Girls" shirts, and I realized that I no longer need to use the mock-up from the original post, because there are actual shirts in the world now. So please, if you have a shirt from batch one, and you don't mind being shown as an example of a wicked girl, snap a picture and leave it here for me to maybe link in the shirt post. I'm hoping to put the post up within the next week, so time is of the essence, but I'd really love to see all of your awesomeness.<br /><br />And that, for the moment, is all.
