JUGHEAD #200
THE MILESTONE 200th ISSUE OF JUGHEAD FEATURING AN ISSUE-LENGTH EPIC WRITTEN BY ROBOT CHICKEN’S CO-HEAD WRITER AND CO-PRODUCER TOM ROOT!
“Something Ventured, Something Gained”: Riverdale High’s fabled teens embark on their wildest ride ever, as Jughead trades his metabolism to a witch in exchange for a mega cheeseburger… and all goes bonkers from there with a chain reaction of cataclysmic proportions! Before you know it, Archie is offering his pure heart to get Juggy’s metabolism back, and Betty and Veronica make offers of their own to get the old Archie back! Meanwhile, Jughead’s waistline is growing larger than Lodge Mansion! Needless to say, the kids are plenty disenchanted with being enchanted. Can they go from status woe to status quo? Tom Root, co-head writer and co-producer of the Emmy Award-winning Robot Chicken on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim—and co-creator/executive producer of the network’s upcoming Titan Maximum—brings his patented irreverent humor to the milestone 200th issue of JUGHEAD!

I’m getting 40-50 requests a week to get onto my FaceBook. Can I just point out it is there for immediate family and close friends. I’m not into racing to see how many ‘friends’ I can get. So,don’t take it personally when I don’t add you!!
Hugs to you all.

At March’s Laydeez Do Comics meeting, I will be presenting a talk about my experiences as the V&A’s Comics Artist in Residence, and what I’ve been up to since then.
The lovely Kate Brown will also be presenting.
Laydeez Do Comics is ” a graphic novel reading group or forum with a focus on comic works based on life narrative, the drama of the domestic and the everyday.” according to their website, and you don’t have to be a lady, a laydee or even a gentleman to attend. All are welcome.
There is a £1.50 admission charge.
We are also going to be discussing Erica Sakurazawa’s The Aromatic Bitters.
Hope to see you all there!
Karen.
Excelsior! Comics appear to be going from strength-to-strength and this year they’ll be pushing aside convention and unlike most comic traders they’ll be setting up a table at the Small Press Expo venue. I understand there’ll be Manga and other items on sale.
Now,they have their table. Do YOU have your ticket???
