blog: appearances

I’ll be in Juneau, Alaska this weekend at the 2025 Alaska Robotics Minicon, along with a bunch of other great folks!

The event is Saturday, May 17 at the APK Libraries, Archives, and Museum building.

I’ve written about my travels to Juneau before! Here are three fun posts from previous trips:

• The Story of How Juneau Ate My Boots

I’m not entirely sure where I got these boots. I’ve had them for at least a decade. They just appeared in my closet one day — I honestly don’t know where they came from...

• 11 portraits of me from Alaska

Celebrated likeness-capturer Scott Campbell had the idea for a group of artists to break into groups and draw portraits of each other...

• The Pleasures of Camping Out

The telegraph, the telephone, the locomotive and the steamship, the modern printing press, and thousands of minor devices which add immensely to the sum total of his pleasures, are all willing servants if properly used; but once in control, they become the hardest taskmasters...

I’m doing a very simple one-day-only holiday promo – I’ve created a convention table at home, and you can visit it virtually!

It works like this:

• Tune in anytime you like on Twitch between 11am–6pm Pacific time on Sunday. I’ll be working on comics in between chatting with “attendees.”
  
  
• You can also pre-browse my current merch offerings on my site and on BackerKit to familiarize yourself with what’s available.
  
  (I’m leaving the pre-order store from the pins project open until the end of the year. After that, some – but not all – of the products will migrate back to my online store.)
  
  
• To “approach the table,” join a one-on-one call by going to wondermark.com/bc. This will open a Google Meet that will let us have a face-to-face conversation!
  
  (Our call will be visible to the Twitch audience too, so you’ll be able to see whether I’m currently talking to anyone or not.)
  
  
• While we chat, I’ll be happy to answer questions about any individual items you like; sign books or prints; and you can even commission a Roll-a-Sketch! Which I can probably draw right there while you watch!
  
  
• You don’t need to buy anything to join and chat! But if you DO want to buy something, I’ll create an online payment link for you.

All U.S. orders will get FREE SHIPPING for any orders placed at BasementCon! You don’t even have to pay for parking or overpriced convention-center pizza!

Of course, you can also place regular store orders (at the links above, or over at TopatoCo, where they offer an overlapping but distinct set of fine Wondermark products) and we’ll get those out promptly to you as well, no conversation required.

For example: Multi-Purpose Greeting Card Sets were out of stock for a while, but they’re back, baby – I’ve reprinted both the holiday editions and the general-purpose versions.

Hope to see you on Sunday!!

After a very long time with no appearances, I’m pleased to say I’ll be in Juneau, Alaska this weekend with books, trinkets and sketches!

The 2024 Alaska Robotics Minicon takes place on Saturday, April 27 at the APK Libraries, Archives, and Museum building.

I’ll also be doing a presentation the night before, Friday 4/26, at the kickoff variety show at the Mendenhall Valley Library. The full events schedule is here!

It’s time once again for Comic-Con! This year I’ll be sharing the TopatoCo booth (#1229) with old pals Sam Logan and Kory Bing.

I won’t have the newest Wondermark collection there — it’s not quite finished being printed — but I will sign a sticker you can take home and put in the book when you do get it! Or any other book you own, or whatever!

I’m not doing any panels this year, so I’ll just be at the booth the whole time, staring quietly into the middle distance until someone calls my name three times with increasing sharpness. Hope to see you there!
