@alexheberling, my fellow podcast/tropecast co-host, webcomicker, and occasional (like once a year) drinking companion stands tipsy yet victorious in front of the skeeball machine we conquered at this year’s Penguicon.

For the full story (or as much of it as we can remember, anyway) tune in to this morning’s Tropecast at noon EST on The Webcomic Beacon.

Reason #57839 to go to Penguicon: arduino skee-ball and the Cupcake Dress.

I’M SO EXCITED FOR THE GEEK PROM THIS YEAR YOU HAVE NO IDEA.

Also I have no memory of this picture being taken.  Thanks, Barfleet!

Comics and the Human Body: April 28th in Dearborn

fatpeopleart:

FPA Moderators Megan Rose Gedris and Alex Heberling will be at Penguicon in Dearborn, Michigan on Saturday, April 28th, giving a talk called “Comics and the Human Body.” Comics are notorious for some pretty atrocious art when it comes to body types, but that’s just the surface, and there’s a wide range of creators drawing a wide range of body types. Come hear us talk about the very very good and the very very bad when it comes to bodies in comics. We’ll also be doing some quick tutorials on some different body types.

And please reblog this with good examples (both really good and really bad) that you think we should discuss!

If there’s interest, I’ll get into my skivvies for a real life fleshy fat demonstration!
