Postcards: The Interviews

Comic Book Resources is posting interviews with Postcards creators all week long. The Rick Spears and Rob G interview is already up, and just today, CBR posted the Ande Parks interview. Jason interviews each creator to get some insight into the creative process, and the interactions give a nice overview of the book. Later this week, the interview sessions end with Tom Beland, who not only answers questions but also gives readers a look at his entire story. Be sure to keep an eye on CBR all week long.

Boxing Day

Moving sucks. Especially when you're not moving. See, we're getting carpet put in next week, so I have the oh so fun task of boxing up nearly 500 books and who knows how many graphic novels. So on Saturday I started the ordeal. Of course, I'm so anal that I have to ensure that each box is not only labeled, but that each book is entered into my book tracking software. After just four boxes, I was ready to sell my entire collection. I mean, why the hell do I own half of these books? I not only will never read half of them, but they're all available for practically nothing on abe.com, so what's the point? Of course, this is me, so by the time I was taping up my 10th box, I was getting sad that all of my children would be stuck in tight, dark compartments for the next few days. The next thing I know, I was looking to fill in the cracks of my collection. What, I only have 33 Orson Scott Card books? What am I missing? I better look 'em up. So not five hours after considering giving up the hobby, I was already planning on taking my hobby one step further. What a sick man I am. I sealed up 13 boxes this weekend. I have another 4-5 left, I'm guessing, plus another for my paperbacks. And I'll most likely re-box the 8 I already have scattered around the house. I have to have the same size of box or I'll go insane, and the other boxes just aren't the same. Tonight I box up my graphic novels and trades. I'm already sad...
