World Tour: One week to go!
Last minute preparations for the Bone World Tour are under way. On the eve of our announcement, Joachim Kaps, the publisher of TokyoPop Germany came to Columbus to make some final arrangements. It was during this visit that Joachim told us that the Frankfurt Book Fair wanted a 40 piece Bone exhibit for the Comics Pavillion.
That was good news, so Steve and I created several colorful panels for the Frankfurt Book Fair Comics Pavillion at breakneck speed. We also put together some behind the scenes displays.
This is Steve taking a break in my office. I took this picture when I heard his voice coming out from behind this enormous book, Little Nemo:So Many Splendid Sundays.
I also received an e-mail from my Greek publisher Lefteris Stavrianos (seen here when I signed at his store last year in Athens).
He really whet my appetite for this upcoming visit when he said:
“P.S.Please tell Jeff that I have ordered 100 lambs to sacrifice for his arrival in Greece…and of course eat some Lamb chops.”
I'm on my way!

How can you call it a “world tour” and not come to Japan? I have a brand-new Bone: O.V.E. that needs your name on it!

I would love to add Tokyo to the world tour. Any publishers out there from Japan? Thirteen hundred pages of Bone story in the can – - In color or in black & white. Contact me and we still have time to add Japan to the second leg of the tour.

Lamb? With rice, roasted potatoes, Greek salad, and tziziki sauce? Now my mouth’s watering…

If everyone’s so het up about getting Jeff to Japan, don’t forget WorldCon is in Yokohama next year… I don’t know how comic artists are regarded in general SFdom, but it’d be the ideal stage.
