The Joe Shuster Awards blog has a list of events taking place across Canada, check it out here and see what’s on.

Most retailers will have some amount of free comics and possibly some sort of sale. Keep in mind that not all stores will have the same comics, or even all the comics:  the retailers have to order the giveaway-comics just as they order any others, and the free-for-you comics actually cost them money.  So, be nice, and plan to purchase something while at the store if you find yourself with a big ol’ pile of freebies.

Also, many retailers will limit the amount of comics you can take…and there are some who may charge you the quarter they paid for them.  This promotion is for the fans–but it costs the publishers and the retailers money to support it.

And speaking of supporting the retailers, if you’re looking for FINE comic product to spend your shekels upon, consider these Simpsons books, now on sale…

ON SALE RIGHT NOW, you lucky, lucky people. Writ and Drewn by the Guy.

I've only got one page in here, but the other hundred and some odd pages are pretty cool, too!

Say, isn't it time someone finally made fun of Tiger Woods? Check out this month's MAD for the Ty-based Hilarity.

And for those who live in the world of the future, make sure your retailer orders copies of…

I gets to draw me Spidey-Man again! On sale next week, or next month, they never tell me.

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY, PILGRIMS!  IT’S HERE!!

And of course, EVERY Saturday is Free Comic Day at Art Land.  Check back tomorrow for FREE WEBCOMICS, as Stavros, Lana, and Lord Vodon (All High Imperial Ruler of the Known Galaxy) fight over the cost of a magazine subscription, in LAST ROUND-UP ON THE SINISTER SPACECRAFT OF FORBIDDEN LOVE, part FOUR!  And a couple of museum cartoons that required one of those soft archeology brushes to clean off. (previous chapters of Last Round-Up are here.)

Ty the Guy.  BUNNY OUT!
