Kate or Die!

http://kateordie.tumblr.com/

The things you learn about at conventions (I found enough stuff to read and entertain myself for months!). Kate or Die! Is written, inked, and everythinged by Kate Leth of Halifax. The comic deals with everything and anything from women in comics to LBGQT? (LQBGT? LGBSMQT? acronyms escape me) issues to Bat Girl to all kinds of other things.








The site is described as a "combination/sketch/comics/inspiration blog" (we think of MGD as the same except without sketches, comics, or inspiration). Kate is very intimate with her readers. She lays out everything. Reading her comic almost feels like reading a diary. Behind the simple cartoony style you feel like you are getting to know the author on a personal level (She reveals things about herself that I would only ever admit to in a competitive game of "Never Have I Ever"... after the fourth or fifth shot of tequila). You get all of Kate all at once whether you are ready or not. Kate will be selling her first printed comic (featured in an issue of Locke and Key) at Strange Adventures this Wednesday.

The Guide to the Known Keys comes out everywhere this Wednesday, November 23rd. If you live in Halifax, I’ll be at Strange Adventures on Wednesday from 12-2 and I’ll have prints of that second image! I did it up as a little extra incentive to support my first print comic. I’m pretty excited about the whole thing, if you couldn’t tell. :) - link

Unfortunately I'm stuck in Podunk, Nowhere so I'm trying to send Perry The Saurus in my stead to pick me up a copy. Fingers set to crossed!
