A comic book you can buy: The Mothman Comics

Oh dear Lord what is this thing here? Oh, nothing much, just the culmination of my lifelong fascination/obsession with The Mothman, the mysterious, red-eyed, winged creature that was the focus of a bizarre monster flap in West Virginia and parts of southern Ohio in 1966-1967, a creature best known for inspiring one of John Keel's books and for harassing Richard Gere.

My imaginatively entitled new mini-comic The Mothman Comics is a 23-page black and white (and red!) gag comic featuring short strips (between one- to five-pages in length) mostly extrapolated from the real reported sightings of the creature. I've printed a fairly limited number of copies (having learned my lessons regarding just how great demand is for paper comics written and illustrated by me last time), and if you would like to purchase one, I would be happy to sell you one.

To order a copy of The Mothman Comics, please send $3 cash, check or money order (Ha ha, no PayPal! Because I am an Old!) to:

Caleb Mozzocco
7950 Mentor Avenue B102
Mentor, Ohio 44060

Be sure to include your address, so I'll know who to mail it to. If you live in Canada, add one dollar, for a total of $4. If you live in any country other than the United States of America or Canada, holla at me via email and I'll, I don't know, take one to the post office, have it weighed and shipping guestimated, and then get back to you, I guess.

Now here is a two-page preview, because it is my understanding that previews on the Internet is how real comic publishers manage to sell so many of their comics:

So, um, yeah. It's eight more comics kinda like that. Order now, while supplies last!

We interrupt this blog for a brief commercial message

Hello Canadian readers! Several of you have expressed interest in purchasing a copy of My Pet Halfling, my 25-page black-and-white self-published comic book, but noted that you live on the other side of the U.S./Canadian border, and wanted to know if there was a special step they needed to add to my ridiculously restrictive and Ludditical instructions for securing a copy.

Yes! Yes, there is! You must add one U.S. dollar to the price of three U.S. dollars. If you live in Canada and want a copy sent to you, it will cost you four U.S. dollars (Sorry! It's the postal service's fault!)

So, to review...

Americans, please send $3 to J. Caleb Mozzocco, 27645 Bishop Park Drive #715, Willoughby Hills, Ohio, 44092 via check, money order, or three one-dollar bills tucked into an envelope.

Canadians, please send $4 to J. Caleb Mozzocco, p.o. box 1102, Ashtabula, Ohio, 44005-1102 via check, money order, or four one-dollar bills tucked into an envelope.
Don't delay! Supplies are limited!

A comic book you can buy: My Pet Halfling by J. Caleb "The Person Who Writes This Blog" Mozzocco

One rainy afternoon...
...three roommates decide to get a pet......and make a rather unusual choice...Unfortunately, their new little companion attracts some pretty serious pests...
...which cause some pretty serious problems for the new pet-owners.
A bunch of running around, fightingand mild hilarity—or attempts at it, anyway—ensue.

My Pet Halfing is twenty-five, six-and-a-half-inch-by-ten-and-a-quarter-inch, black-and-white story pages written, illustrated and lettered by everyone's seventh-favorite comics blogger, J. Caleb Mozzocco (Hey, that's me!).To order a copy of your very own, send $3 to J. Caleb Mozzocco, 7950 Mentor Avenue B102, Mentor, Ohio 44060 (Checks, money orders, or three one dollar bills tucked into an envelope discretely are probably fine; sorry, no PayPal or any other crazy technological money exchanging, as I am old and dumb).

I've only printed 145 copies—which makes it an ultra-rare collectible, perhaps...?—since, honestly, it's not all that great (It was written about eight years ago, and the drawing started not long after that, so, quality-wise, it's the work of an even less skilled Caleb than the Caleb whose occasional short comics you may be familiar with) and I won't be sending out review copies to my peers, so order yours ASAP. (If you want; no pressure!)

My Pet Halfling—There are certainly worse comics you could buy.

Hey, if you have any questions about the comic, please feel free to leave 'em in the comments or shoot me an email—my addy is in the upper right corner there—as I may put together an FAQ or something at some point.

Quick programming note: I'm not going to update EDILW this weekend in order to just leave this sales pitch hanging at the top of the blog for a few days, so don't be alarmed if there aren't any updates until Monday-ish. I might double-post on Monday and Tuesday to make up for lack of posting this weekend..
