Welcome!

I would like to welcome you to Little Foot's new website! Special thanks to Evan Keeling for helping make this happen, and to Nick Beranek for getting it set up on the server.

Our first item of news is that Mr. Big is on the short list for a 2007 Day Prize! Check the SPACE site for full details. If you are in the Columbus area on March 1 and 2 feel free to stop by the SPACE convention and say hello to Mr. Big co-creator Matt Dembicki.

In addition, Cerebus creator Dave Sim, who hands out the Day Prizes, had some nice things to say about Mr. Big on his BLOG :

"I bet you thought we were all done with Matt Dembicki as well and, again, you would be just plain wrong. If you're big into ecology, then have I got a self-contained graphic novel for you. Matt and his wife Carol created an entire graphic novel out of a pond located near their home. As Jay Hosler writes in the introduction:

This is an unlikely place to experience the wonders of nature. A supermarket is only about 100 yards away. The Doppler Shifts of car wheels hum on the road up the hill and the ground is littered with miscellaneous rusting bits of metal.

Carol and Matt just ignore all that and tell a great story – it took them five years to finish, serializing it in six issues, the seventh only appears here in the collection -- filled with drama and adventure and excitement. Completely self-contained. Believe me, I'm very far from an ecology nut and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Check it out now at www.littlefootcomics.com. And don't miss the MR. BIG CONCEPTS AND SKETCHES mini-comic they also did. The ladybugs on the front cover alone are worth the price of admission."

We here at Little Foot expect 2008 to be a great year!
