New Toons: Closet Conservationist, Signs of Spring
I was listening to a debate on the Brian Lehrer show on WNYC over compact fluorescents and I have to say I have them in every room and I like them (and my lower electric bill) just fine. Anyway, the point of this cartoon isn't that individual acts of conservation don't matter, only that voluntary individual conservation isn't enough to stave off global environmental disaster without serious regulation of business and industry. (Stephanie is all over this with her upcoming graphic novel As the World Burns, and Ruben Bolling had a great cartoon about it last week, "Carbon Offsets 'R' Us")
I knew it was finally spring when I squeezed onto a hot, crowded, un-air-conditioned subway car full of scantily clad New Yorkers and unidentifiable odors and promptly stepped into a puddle of gum so warm it had melted. It took me about six blocks of scraping my shoe to extricate myself. -----
Attention: NYC, I'll be doing a free cartoon slideshow and book launch bash for my first book, Attack of the 50-Foot Mikhaela! on Tuesday June 12 at Bluestockings and you are cordially invited.
ATTACK BOOK TOUR | May 19: Philly at Temple U. ; June 9: Detroit at Green Brain Comics; June 12: NYC at Bluestockings. Soon to come: Boston, DC and more!

For Boston, please don't make me ride the Green Line on a Sox game day.
Brian, I didn't even think of that. Still not sure when the Boston date is--probably July-ish. Where do I find the list of Sox home games?
That comic was very amusing. :) And - how exciting that you'll be coming to Bluestockings!
This link should work. They're home a lot that month, but it'll only be an inconvenience around 6-7pm, and only if the venue's on the Green Line.
Friday the 13th is the only day I won't be able to make a Boston event in July, not that your scheduling should revolve around my attendance.
Oh! It's probably too close to AAEC for you to schedule it then, but July 7 is also a no-go for me too. Zach Galfianakis is doing a show at Berklee.
