Dear Friends,
In 31 short days I will be at the World Science Fiction Convention in San Antonio. Excitement!
I would like to create some mini-comics to exuberantly give to people. I have never made a mini-comic before and I would like your help deciding which six comics to include.
I’ve developed a ‘shortlist’ but I’m not always the best judge of human taste, so you’re welcome to vote for ones I have not included. Each person can vote for up to eight comics and you are encouraged to go to the social medias and encourage people to vote for your favorite comics. The mini-comic will be printed in black and white.
- 6: Why
- 7: Belief
- 14: Spoons
- 29: Worries
- 32: Bad
- 41: Small
- 47: Thinking
- 77: Missing You
- 83: Beginner’s Mind
- 85: Try
- 87: After the Convention (assuming I can get the layout to work)
- 100: Practice
- 103: Lifestyle Advice from a Small Pink Bunny, part 2
- 115: Evidence
- 141: Lifestyle advice from a small pink bunny – batman
- 147: Good enough?
Every vote is important and so is doing me the great honor of talking about my comics and sharing links of ones you particularly like. With eight votes in your pocket you are welcome to place a few votes now and add more votes later… I always hate the idea of getting ‘it’ (oh mysterious it!) right instantly.
Please spread the word, vote in the comments, share your views and spread the Things word through your social medias. It will be a touch embarrassing if the consensus leans towards a set of blank pages!

Spoons and Batman are my absolute faves, hence they get my vote. 🙂
Alison
Though hard to narrow down, here are my 6: Worries, Bad, Small, Try, Good enough and After the Convention.
Is there a way non-conference attendees can get their hands on a copy?
liz
Thanks Alison, and yes! Non-coms will be able to get their hands on a copy, although it will probably be after World Con.
Emily
Too many choices!
In order of preference:
1. 115 : Evidence
2. 147 : Good Enough
3. 32 : Bad
4. 47 : Thinking
5. 85 : Try
6. 100 : Practice

Manny Frishberg
I vote “Geometry”, “After the Con”, “…Batman”, “Small”, “Try”, “…Lemons”, “Evidence.”
liz
Thanks Manny. Your timing is amazing. Now that I have two extra slots I was thinking about which comics with 4 votes should get the love. “Small” was added to the roster and matches with your wishlist.
I’m going to keep all these votes that come in and use them to shape future in print Things comics. I love the ones you added to the list <3
liz
If you have not already received a Things comic please e-mail liz@lizargall.com and I will post you a comic anywhere in the world.
Thank you for being part of this. 🙂
