signed and numbered Warm Blanket graphic novels

Those of you in the San Francisco Bay area can head over to WonderCon, which in my experience is a fairly good comics convention (I shan’t be there this year, though.) And if you’re there on Saturday, you can stop by the Boom Studios booth and buy yourself one of 100 numbered copies of the hardcover Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown graphic novel adaptation, signed by artists Bob Scott and Vicki Scott. I don’t know whether there’s any printed differences in these copies, or whether the “edition”-ness is all in the signatures, but they’re charging just the cover price – $19.99 – for these copies. They go on sale at 2 PM, and stay on sale until 4 or until supplies run out, whichever comes first. The booth number is 415. Tell them Nat Gertler sent you, and they’ll… well, they’ll probably look at you funny, that’s about it. Do it anyway.
