Limited, Strange Death of Alex Raymond "Blue Meanie" Sketch Editions

 - Carson Grubaugh -

Hello Cerebites!

Thank you for all of the support during the lead-up to and post-release push of Strange Death. We poured our hearts into this project. It is exceptionally fulfilling to see it out in the world and succeeding in the way we all knew it could.

As Sean begins to shift his focus to growing the Living The Line publishing catalog and I lean into my teaching duties, helping Sean through the Living The Line YouTube, and mayyyybe finding some time for a short comic idea that is haunting me, we want to do one last Strange Death hurrah.

When the misprint situation happened last July we kept nine copies. I have done a custom "Blue Meanies" sketch in each one of them. More on what these sketches are and why they bear the Blue Meanies name can be found at the beginning of this video, which also includes a discussion about Strange Death between myself and my mother, who turned out to be an extremely thoughtful reader!

The books can be purchased here, for $160 a piece. Each copy comes with a numbered bookplate "Blue Meanies Misprint 1-9/9." Every bookplate is signed by both myself and Dave.

Following are time-lapse videos of each sketch being made.

 

Sketch 5 has already sold.

Sketch 6 has already sold.

Sketch 7 was gifted to Cartoonist Kayfabe.

 

Sketch 8 was gifted to Near Mint Condition.

Everything is first-come-first-serve.

While you are on the LTL website, make sure to sign up for the mailing list so you can get updates about all of the other amazing books Sean has lined up for 2022 and 2023. He is going to quickly become the publisher of choice for the best creators.

Thank you all for the love. See you on the YouTubes!
