It's now five days to
Anthrocon where I'll have the annual "Kevin & Kell"
patron dinner on Friday, July 3 at 7:00 at
August Henry's. If you can make it to Pittsburgh, just let me know. Remember, you don't have to attend the con to come to the dinner, but I'm sure you'll have a good time if you do. During the con I'll be at the Moonbase Press table in the dealer's room at #A07/A08. The weekend after that will be
Dexcon and then the following weekend is
Otakon. I'll finish up my 2009 schedule on Labor Day weekend at
Dragoncon in Atlanta.
"Rules of Engagement," the fourteenth collection of strips featuring the complete year of 2007, has been printed and Moonbase is now shipping the preorders. While it makes its formal debut at Anthrocon, you can order it
here. It's also part of the
Complete Works offer. Also on sale is the second treasury,
"The Great Bird Conspiracy." This contains the complete material from March 1998 to Aug. 2000, encompassing the second half of "Accepting Domestication" and all of "Run Free!" and "For the Birds."
As you know, Ms. Aura, the leader of the birds, crossed through the dimensional portal to the human realm but changed into a dolphin instead of a member of
homo sapiens. However, in order to keep up with a certain webcomic that depicts (far too accurately) the world she left behind, she and Nigel have to become human. You can keep up with her through her
Twitter account at catherine_aura. She believes her tweets are secret, so don't tell her.

Lindesfarne is particularly concerned with this development, which she expresses in her
blog.
Repeating previous news, "Kevin & Kell" reader Art McBain has created a
searchable device for the archives. You can locate a particular strip through tag words.
"Kevin & Kell" books are now being offered by
Havens Distributors to comic books stores. (For Username and Password use "guest" and "guest" and then click on New Arrivals.) This is on a contingent basis, meaning that they're going to see how sales go. So, please go to your local comic book store and ask for "Kevin & Kell." If they get enough inquiries, they'll place an order with Havens.
Finally, for June we have four sponsors in the rotation. Please check them out!
