Internet on the Internet, Internet Brought To Life:

And with said Internet, we signed up librarians and publishers to be Spaceheadz! (Not sure what we’re talking about? Look here.) Don’t worry if you didn’t get to do it in person, you can still do it online.

We also obtained some seriously insider-information about children’s literature deity Dr. Suess… The Cat In the Hat is actually a young woman. Gasp!

Don’t tell anyone we told you.

Books we’ll be hawkin’:

Ours, To Timbuktu:

And Jon Scieszka’s latest and greatest, SPACEHEADZ Book #1:

Why are we such Spaceheadz fans? Because we are the Spaceheadz digital team! Meaning, we’ve been responsible for all the online aspects of the story telling which so far has been a blaaaaaaaaast. Are you a Spaceheadz? Of course you are. Sign up here and make it official!

P.S. Now you can get the Shitty Kitty Cartoon of the Week on a T-Shirt!

James Joyce wrote a book called “Ulysses” for which you may or may not have read the Cliffnotes some time in high school. Once a year, literary lovers around the world do their darndest to reenact the events of the novel which took place over one long day in Dublin in 1904. The celebration is called Bloomsday after the main character, Leopold Bloom.

Brooklyn is having its very first Bloomsday this Saturday (6/12) thanks to the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, and the celebration is taking the form of a pub crawl along Park Slope’s 5th avenue with readings, reenactments, piping and snacks along the way!

COUNT US IN.

Full disclosure: We designed the posters/pins/banners/programs etc and we love pub crawls, so even though neither Steven nor I ever finished readings “Ulysses”, our Saturday never stood a chance.

We’d also like to flash a big E for Earth Day and salute Intructables, the online collection of user made How-To’s, for featuring Casey’s “How to Ride Your Bike In Style” article again in their Earth Day celebration!

How to Ride Your Bike in Style – More DIY How To Projects

(Commonwealth Bar on 12th St and 5th Ave)

Such shitty cats were drawn, such filthy things were captioned, and despite it all– or more likely because of it all– friends were made. (Click on any image to see it larger.)

Over 300 Shitty Kitty comics were born that night and handed out to folks who may or may not have had any idea what was going on. Here’s a Flickr album of the whole evening: (And P.S. We’ve set up a Flickr Group called Shitty Kitty Meet Ups where anyone can add their own photos from the events!)

Saturday night we took over much of Mission: Comics and Art for a little behind-the-scenes/making-of a graphic novel party. There were process sketches, final illustrations, covers ideas to vote on, plenty of cans of beer and lots of folks who stayed until the wee hours of the morn’ dancing their butts off.

We absolutely can’t wait until this book comes out so we can have book-dance parties ALL THE TIME.

What’s this book we’re talking about anyway? It’s right here.
