I’m David: ‘Johnny Wander’ Is Charming & Who Should Own The Rights To Superman?
Like most of you, I’ve got a to-read stack that kills me every time I look at it. Friends laugh at it, small children cry at it, and the police keep giving me the stink eye. I’ve also got a to-read list for those things that I want to read in digital form, but haven’t yet. There’s a lot of webcomics in there (Chris Onstad returned to Achewoodlast year, you say?) and I’ve been remarkably lax about getting caught up because I’ve got a never-ending reservoir of excuses when it comes to not doing things. But I found myself with three volumes of the webcomic Johnny Wander, an inexplicably long commute to work, and a (very rare) lack of excuses. So I read it. And I loved it.
I’m David, and I want to talk to you about Johnny Wander, a comic drawn by Yuko Ota and written by Ananth Panagariya, about Yukond Ananth. It’s autobio, it’s funny, and it’s great.
David Brothers wrote a nice piece about Johnny Wander over on Comics Alliance! Check it out!
We’re doing a release party for Johnny Wander V3: Ballad of Laundry Cat at Bergen St. Comics! I think we’ll have a projector set up - the plan is to do some drawing games with you guys! We’ll have the books and probably some other stuff - hope you can make it!

Making some last-minute corrections for the printer. I’m posting this because what I’m trying to do is hilariously indecipherable …
We posted a (goofy) 2nd video over at the Kickstarter. Less than 24 hours to go if you’re interested in preordering Johnny Wander Vol. 3: Ballad of Laundry Cat! And if you’re already in, thanks so much!
Whenever we do a new book, I always mock-up the cover and wrap it around a like-sized book (in this case JW:V2) once or twice, to make sure the binding and everything else is aligned properly. It also allows me to do hardcopy mark-up (as you can see on the B&W mock). I started doing this with our first book, mostly because we were printing a lot of copies and that was a lot of motivation to get it right.

Meant to reblog this one a while ago - so cute. Thanks starexorcist!
can we all agree that death & cecilia are adorable?
A collection of thematically consistent Johnny Wander comics. Really great to see Yuko’s arc of improvement in action.
