Hey, Internet!

For many cartoonists and self-publishers, tabling at a convention can be a downright chore, a source of anxiety, and at best a necessary evil. Cartoonists are a generally shy, socially insulated lot, and when it comes to tooting our own horns and selling our work, most of us are too terrified to come out of our shell long enough to engage the public. I've seen this firsthand at many a convention, including Stumptown, and I'm guilty of it myself. There are a few tips I've learned over the years, though, and I want to share them, but not here.

What I want to do is make a small minicomic with tips, tricks, and advice for people who've either never tabled at a convention before, or who just don't seem to have very good luck at it. And I want it to be a kind of definitive 'How To' kind of book, so I'm seeking any advice and tips you might have, to include.

The minicomic will be available for free to anyone who wants one, and I'll even be happy to make a pdf and host it for free download. So let's hear it! Reply here and I'll collect the info.

And please spread the word - let's get as much info into this mini as we can!
