* * *
Once you download your copy, take it to Seattle’s EMERALD CITY COMIC-CON this weekend, March 13th and 14th, and have Chris Wisnia sign it! He’ll be at table H-04 (pronounced “Ho 4”) throughout the weekend, and making some appearances at the SLG booth 902 as well!
We haven’t hit the Seattle show since 2007, and are looking forward to seeing all our old friends! Oh do come say hi!
* * *
Our best friend EVAN DORKIN had some very kind words to say about “Doris Danger Giant Monster Adventures” a few months ago, which we neglected to share! You can read it at his blog!
Then pop over to BLOG TALK RADIO and listen to a chat Chris did with SLG Publisher Dan Vado, and some after talk with our aforementioned best friend, Evan!

See you soon, fans!

Dear non-comics readers, how can you help our struggling comics industry?

BUY DORIS DANGER GIANT MONSTER ADVENTURES … RIGHT NOW!

In the comic business (or “biz”), the book’s success or cancellation is determined by pre-orders! If stores don’t know fans want “DORIS DANGER by SLG, SEP090572” … THEY WON’T ORDER IT, and then their shop won’t carry it, and then millions of potential fans will miss out! This is no laughing matter!

Get frantic! Call 1-888-COMIC-BOOK or go to http://www.comicshoplocator.com to find where your nearest comics shop is, rush in or call them, and demand that they order you at least one copy!

Tabloia Mailer # 48,874

Fans,

Print a copy of this email and save it in your wallet (men) or purse (women or men) for reference! This week, you can find artistic hack CHRIS WISNIA at SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON, Small Press area, table K-9 (like the dog)! It’s a corner booth against the farthermost, back, 2-mile-long wall (so easy to find)! And those who stopped by last year will remember how conveniently close the restrooms are after getting to know Chris!

BEWARE, those of you from the Midwest who are thinking it might be fun to drive into town for a quick easy day trip, maybe pop in for a quick hello … Comic-Con has been sold out for over three years, and hotels are sold out for six hundred miles around! Car traffic is in a grid-locked standstill throughout Southern California! Grocery store shelves are ravenously emptied and barren! Local crops are trampled! Buy your tickets to Comic-Con 2010 right away!

As for the measley 100,000 of you who managed to obtain tickets, we’ll see you there! – Rob Oder, Editor-in-Chief!

SECRET TIP: Ask Chris to see his 14-page sneak peek of the latest, full-length Dr. DeBunko adventure, or one of his two new secret projects, or photos of his three-year old and five-month old boys!

UNSUBSCRIBE: Please reply to this email with the heading, “boo hoo, I’ve had enough!”

Tabloia Mailer #293478
Wow, fans! It’s been years since we’ve published any books (besides a few chintzy mini-comics)! It’s been over half a year since our last weekly mailer! It’s been four months since we’ve made any appearances, or even bothered to update our website, www.chriswisniaarts.com! The economy is poor and the comics industry is suffering! IS THIS THE END OF TABLOIA??!!
* * *
DORIS DANGER SIGNS ON WITH SLAVE LABOR GRAPHICS!
That’s right, fans! We’ve been dying to tell you for over a year!, but waiting for negotiations to be finalized! At last the contract is signed! Expect a 96-page, digest-sized (5″x7.5″) DORIS DANGER treasury, published by Slave Labor (that’s www.slgcomic.com) this year! Be sure to write in and congratulate us, and tell us how proud you are of us! More soon!
* * *
TABLOIA VS. THE DIABOLICAL CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION KNOWN AS THE I.R.S.!
We’ve been dying to tell you for over a year and a half!, but waiting for negotiations to be finalized! At last the papers are signed! At last the story can be told!
At their most insidious and dishonest, the lying, bullying, evil I.R.S intimidated that Tabloia was a hobby and not a profession, and that Tabloia therefore owed $13,000!
Those criminal, %&&%@?!-sucking %&*#$-holes, in reality, owed Tabloia thousands of dollars! It took a year and a half of beating them off with a stick (and the most expensive lawyer Tabloia could find) . . . with the result being, those pieces of &%$!?&*$ had to eat our bagoo, pay out, and acknowledge that TABLOIA IS NOT A HOBBY! So kiss &%?$#*, you lousy #@!&-wits!
Be sure and write in and congratulate us on that taxing, hard-fought victory, against perhaps the most wicked force of evil the world has ever known!
* * *
BABY ANNOUNCEMENT!
In the thick of all this Tabloia excitement and business, on March 1st 2009, Tabloia’s artistic hack, Chris Wisnia, had a second baby son! Be sure and write in to congratulate Chris, and welcome baby Boris to the Wisnia artistic hack family! You can look forward to meeting him at the next convention!
* * *
WONDERCON MARCH 2009 UPDATE!
Tabloia’s artistic hack, Chris Wisnia, will be unable to attend last month’s Wondercon 2009 (see “Baby Announcement” above)! He’ll sorely miss seeing all of you and bitterly resents his family for this poorly scheduled birth of his son, so be sure and write in and let Chris know how much you’ll miss seeing him!
* * *
APRIL FOOL’S ANNOUNCEMENT!
Tabloia Weekly Magazine doesn’t celebrate April Fool’s, fans! We think it’s cruel!
