Upstate Troy, NY will see some inevitably fun webcomic events on the weekend of January 16-18. The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Genericon promises another year of panels and special guests, plus some new surprises. The small, intimate convention has been an annual gathering for anime, comics, and gaming fans for years. Check out some guests you can expect to see:

Here is a close up color detail of one of the panels of my online comic. Check out the inks if you want to see the differences in black and white to color work. You can also find pencil works in progress of this panel as well as new pencil sketches that we added just last week in our online sketchbook at www.gutterflycomix.com. Lemme know what ya think.

Phillip and Jon will be appearing at the January 14th meeting of the Cartoonist Alliance in Manhattan. They'll be speaking about the economics of webcomics and the process of putting together the new printed Goats collection.
