Here's the latest SF Bay Comic from Gnartoons, featuring some lovely depictions of what the Mayan apocalypse will look like in SF.
(Also, I've also suspected this to be the reason San Francisco smells like New York every fall. Has MythBusters performed any tinkle reconstitution experiments yet to prove this theory yet?)

Mission Comics and Art brings us word of the release of a new comic book guide to the Mission that looks pretty rad. Of course, I've never seen any zombies rolling through the hood, this Where's Waldo approach to the Mission sure does work.
The release party is happening at Mission Comics and Art on March 11th (plan ahead!) and promises “Food! Drinks! Fun!” Word.

We weren't there to witness this for ourselves, but Mission Loc@l reports that “The Unemployed Man” was at Dolores Park this afternoon showing off both his new graphic novel and his package. The Huffington Post has some excerpts for your amusement (of the book, not the bulge).

Apparently, today is Free Comic Book Day. Basically, from what I’ve figured out, you just show up and they give you a free comic. It’ll probably be a pretty shitty one, but hey, it’s free, and you can just lie to your friends and say it’s “obscure” and “underrated”, unless of course they went and got the same shitty comic. Maybe you can bond over your shared secret and live in constant fear that the others will out you as an owner of crappy comics. whatevs, ITS FREE.
According to the website, Mission Comics and Art, Neon Monster, Isotope, and Comix Experience are all participating. Caffeinated Comics apparently doesn’t believe in free comics, and probably tells kids Santa isnt real either so screw those assholes (edit: looks like they believe in free comics). Considering I just woke up from a night of bartending and boozing and only pretend to read comics so nerdy boys will sleep with me, I don’t think I’m gonna make it, but hopefully just writing about it will give me that nerd boost that being obsessed with zombies just cant bring, and some guy in fake glasses and an argyle sweater vest will find me attractive. SWOON.
