I often get asked, “What makes a Cheese a Cheese?” And so long as we’re assuming you’re cool kids, you refer to the comics on Hello With Cheese as “A Cheese.”

Well, this comic is a pure “Cheese.” I had this pun stuck in my head – just the line, sung to the song, on a loop. And it made me giggle. So I sent it to O. And it made him giggle. And he got a mental picture going, so he drew it.

We’ve been doing this a lot. What we haven’t been doing is collecting all this silliness into a book. Until now…

Announcing Hello With Cheese: The Cheesen One.

This book collects over 100 comics from O and me over the past four years, including luchadores, Business Squirrel, Salebot9000, puns, wordplay, groaners, mash-ups, mess-ups and dress-ups.

And how much would you pay for such an amazing collection, with 100 pages using the dark magic of color printing, plus the far more traditional supplement of 20 wholesome black and white pages? A million dollars?

Wait, seriously? That seems a bit high. But if you want to, please contact me immediately, crazy millionaire reader.

And if you don’t have a million dollars, know that we’ll let you less-moneyed individuals purchase this masterpiece for only $20. That is, if you’re a slow and lazy less-moneyed individual. Why, I dare say if you’re a get-up-and-go-getter, then you should order your book today! Because until July 4, we’ll have this book up for a preorder special of $15 here!

World Tour Status

Four shows and many more years ago we started doing conventions. Here’s where the Scallywags International gang is heading:

June 12-16 – Origins (Columbus, OH): The Scallywags are setting up copies of Scurvy Dogs and Postumo and are ready to game.

June 28-July 1 – ALA (Chicago): The American Library Association has a small artist alley called Graphic Comic Con, and Scallywags will have Dern in Booth 2355. It’s 20 tables packed with some of the best comic talent out there.

July 12-14 – ConnectiCon (Hartford, CT): For the seventh straight year, Dern makes his journey to CTCon. And we just might have a surprise announcement in the works here. Look for us in the OMG.

Aug. 9-11 – Otakon (Baltimore, MD): Also hitting the seventh time in a row, Scallywags International will be at Booth U-06 in the Dealer Room.

Aug. 15-18 – GenCon (Indianapolis, IN): More gaming! Scallywags International will be testing out and showing off some new items, bringing in a special guest, and even hosting a tournament.

The unofficials:
Just a head’s up on the shows we’re working on. We fully expect to be at Baltimore Comic-Con. And finally, there’s two mystery shows towards the end of the year that we might add, pending a strong start to the year.

NOTE: While we’ll still be doing the comic, Dern will be taking a break from Conventions in November for Paternity leave.

The Monster Numbers

This is probably the most expected announcement we’ve made in a while – The Monster Numbers, a sequel to The Monster Alphabet, is now currently running as a Kickstarter. Viola:
