Thanks to everybody who came out to see us at the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco this weekend! As always we loved meeting fans and hanging out with our pals and colleagues. This year's gold star goes to Frank Santoro, who provided us with our best photo ops and cheerfully helped us out packing up at the end of the show. We can't wait to read your Comics Comics post about the ninja comics you bought, Frank! Frank flexes the muscles he'd later use packing boxes, while Dash Shaw and Jon Vermilyea look on.

Webcomics update for 10/16/09
It might already be Saturday where you are, but we don't want you to miss your Friday webcomics update! I don't think the folks at Cryptomundo could ever have imagined the events of this week's Blecky Yuckerella strip by Johnny Ryan…. …it's something completely different (no Yikes!) in this week's strip from Steven Weissman ("Chapter 1 of my new Graphic Novel, ha ha" says Steven)… …and careers, jealousy and bad dancing are topics of our Monday-Friday Rocky strips by Martin Kellerman. Enjoy!
Cory Doctorow on THIS SIDE OF JORDAN
Cory Doctorow praises Monte Schulz's new novel, THIS SIDE OF JORDAN, on BoingBoing this morning. "Did I mention how good the writing is? The writing is excellent… The setting is so vivid I felt like I could fall into the book and lose myself there, landing on some dusty road in a tourist camp where the hicks waited to be fleeced or killed by Chester," he writes. Monte's tour takes a few days off and reconvenes next Tuesday in San Francisco: Tues., Oct. 20, 7PM • Modern Times Books, San Francisco, CAWed., Oct. 21, 7PM • Copperfield's Books, Santa Rosa, CAThurs., Oct. 22,…
