Hats! Shirts! A New Comic!
The return of Action Finger! Plus some merch and other cool stuff! This is a pretty packed newsletter.
GREETINGS, CLUB HEADS!
Mac here. I’m taking a break from The First Cat in Space 2 (!) to send out an Official Fan Newsletter. I think we’ve got a lot of good stuff in this one: new gear, new comics, and some free print-at-home goodies. OK, let’s get to it!
SHIRTS
We wanted to celebrate the release of our book with the most bookish shirt we could make. And so: The First Cat in Space Ate Pizza: The Book: The Shirt!
Designed by Shawn Harris and screenprinted in Los Angeles on Gildan Comfort Colors blanks, this shirt features a drawing of our book and the Library of Congress CIP data for The First Cat in Space Ate Pizza.
HATS
A lot of you have asked about making some First Cat hats, and we finally did. It’s the Summer Reading Hat! I think “it looks best on,” so I’m going to show you a picture Shawn sent me this morning when he got his in the mail, which he doesn’t know I’m sharing with everyone.
What a great hat! (And what a great Shawn!)
FIRST CAT FAN CLUB MEMBERSHIP CARD AND CERTIFICATE
We’d once again like to direct your attention to www.thefirstcatinspace.com, where we just uploaded a downloadable, printable Fan Club Membership Card and Certificate.
ACTION FINGER
OUR STORY SO FAR:
Two newsletters ago I made a (since corrected!) typo: instead of writing “action figure,” I wrote “action finger.” Some would call this “an embarrassing error for a professional author to send out to thousands of readers.” Others might call it “an abject failure on the part of Shawn Harris to proofread these newsletters before they go out.” But rather than let this mistake tear our friendship asunder, Shawn and I instead decided to make the second most exciting new comic (the number one slot’s taken): ACTION FINGER! If you need to catch up, read our last newsletter because we’re not getting bogged down in backstory—AF #2 hurls you straight into the Action Finger Extended Universe. Let’s get in medias res!
PREORDER THE BOOK!
There’s still time to preorder a signed copy of The First Cat in Space Ate Pizza and get a free spacesuit patch, and you can do it here.
GOODBYE
OK, I’ve got a book to write! If you’ve made it this far, send an email to livecartoonshq@gmail.com with the subject “PLORP.” We’ll select one and send you a signed FINISHED COPY of The First Cat in Space Ate Pizza. (The book publishes May 10.)
Meow,
Mac
