 by fredo on 11/1/2010 @ 5:25pm | As an added bonus to the ice cream bars, I would be happy to provide Tacomic purchasers a copy of: Fredo's 100 Wildest Rants (tm) featuring such popular topics as public toilets, mother's day anchor babies, and the origins of Fredo City. Watch the discussions unfold as Fredo drives Crenshaw, Ensie, Jenyum, RR and many others crazy. As an added bonus and at no extra charge will be a compendium of selected Workplace Morality, How do solve a problem like, and Do you enjoy Hypotheticals discussions. The perfect Christmas gift for that 'hard-to-shop-for-person.' |

by NineInchNachos on 11/5/2010 @ 12:58pm | BREAKING: #Tacoma Public Library & Northwest room commit to adding TACOMIC BOOK VOL. 001 to collection: "the book is beautiful" say Librarians.
3 copies will be housed in Tacoma's historical Northwest room for centuries to come. "Decades from now people will wonder what that long-necked cookie monster has to do with Justice Zeiger. :)" - Derek Young one copy will be in the main library circulation (after the one lady who does obscure book titles gets it cataloged) and they will buy more copies for circulation if there is a big demand. So check that sucker out! |

by NineInchNachos on 11/13/2010 @ 9:21pm | EXIT 133 shows Tacomic Book some love "In the small, friendly circle of Tacoma media gadflies, there are few figures as near and dear to the hearts of our writers as Mr. RR Anderson. Sure, he often wears odd clothes but we overlook this shortcoming because of his marvelously flattering portraits of local public figures. His work is known for its subtlety and conceptual nuance, dappled with genteel wit and Well, actually, we'll just let the man speak for himself" www.exit133.com/6065/tacomic-book-releas...

by NineInchNachos on 11/18/2010 @ 3:10pm | love from the Tacoma Weekly:
CARTOONIST RELEASES BOOK Tacoma resident R.R. Anderson officially released a book of his political cartoons and observations during an event at King’s Books on Nov. 15. Titled “100 Tacomics: The Secular and Apolitical Cartoon Life of Tacoma and Her Moral People(s),” the book was funded with a grant from Tacoma Arts Commission. Anderson signed copies, then briefly spoke about his work. He expressed pity for people wrapped up in mindless television shows, noting political cartoonists offer more interesting fodder for conversation. “We tell the stories of your story, which are 300 times more interesting than a traditional sitcom.” Funding from the city elevates him to a new level, he noted. “I have begun to mooch off government grants like a real artist.” The book is for sale at King’s Books. www.tacomaweekly.com/news/city/week_in_r...
