6 days until the release of “The Art of Daniel Clowes: Modern Cartoonist”! (…plus your chance to win an autographed copy today)

…and the countdown continues.

The Cutting Room Floor

From deep in the Clowes archives come a few illustration proposals that caught my eye. I particularly like the one that shows chatroom users as they are and how they imagine themselves to be.

The Art of Daniel Clowes: Modern Cartoonist will be available April 1st. Order a copy today from your local bookseller, the publisher, or Amazon. OR: Enter our contest for a chance to win a copy of the book autographed by Clowes. Throughout the countdown, one winner will be picked at random every day, so check boingboing.net for the daily code. To enter, send an email to [e-mail] with your mailing address (only US mailing addresses are eligible and no PO boxes please) and put in the subject line today's contest code: malrosen. Winners are being posted here.

  no offense, but the amount of coverage for this is really off-putting. A plug is fine, but a solid week of daily updates?

  I agree. Plus, I just saw it at the comics store yesterday. It’s not out yet?

• [MajorMotah]

  Where are the updated wieners? the last wiener was announced the 23rd.  It is redundant, seems like there would be a nice space for this to live on the sidebar, a feature pane above the ad maybe?

    Hi MajorMotah,

    I got a bit behind but will be posting the weekend’s winners shortly.

    Thanks for entering!

    Best,

  It’s daily because of the contest.  Christ, some people..

  • [Pigeon Press]

    Hi Tempo,
    Thanks for pointing that out. It is an opportunity to give out the daily prizes of 14 autographed books as well as share some of the art that didn’t make it into the book, which a lot of people seem to be digging from the amounts of emails we’ve been getting. There’s an upcoming post with Joey Ramone that’s pretty great coming later this week for Ramones fans and people who are enjoying these… (Where are you guys?post here so we can feel some balance. Why is it that the one’s who do appreciate seem to be the softspoken ones? )Thanks to all, haters included!Best,Alvin B.

  I feel bad for all the people reading Boing Boing strapped to a Clockwork Orange-style  chair. I hope all your eyeballs are being adequately moistened.

  What’s with all the negativity?

• [Mark_Frauenfelder]

  Due to popular demand, I’m extending coverage of Daniel Gillespie Clowes’ monograph for an additional two weeks!

  • [JBK]

     Awesome! Thanks. ( I am totally serious ).

    • [Pigeon Press]

      Glad you are enjoying JBK!

      • [JBK]

         Thanks, I am. This has been and is great. What a treat, all of this great art from my longtime favorite artist. I hope you really do extend this.
        Screw the year of the dragon, it’s THE YEAR OF THE CLOWES!
