I got an unpleasant – make
that COMPLETELY WRETCHED – surprise my inbox this morning, a press release from
AC Headquarters. Here it is:
Betty & Veronica artist Steven Butler will be at 3 Alarm Comics for Free Comic Book
Day. As a special treat, Scott
Hoverman’s 3 Alarm Comics will have
free early copies of Betty & Veronica Double Digest#151 to give to
fans. Steven Butler will be signing them
for free as well. This is the comic
featuring the new look you have heard so much about. Don’t miss your opportunity to get a free signed copy.
Attached is a window painting done by Steven Butler himself
for 3 Alarm Comics in Biloxi Mississippi.
Okay, I don’t know where to
start – I will NOT put that picture of THEM
on my blog. NO. WAY. If you MUST see it, you can go here.
Second – Steven Butler is NOT “OUR” artist; he works for “THEM”
– The Faux Duo.
And, WE weren’t even invited
to 3 Alarm Comics for Free Comic Book Day – at least I don’t
think we were. Okay, I’ll have to check
on that. Bets and I get sooooo many invitations from comic book
stores to make guest appearances, but we can’t be in two places at once! I’ll bet Scott requested US but we were already booked. So, he settled for THEM - “The B Team”. Poor
Scott.
Note to Scott Hoverman: Bets and I
are already booking appearances into 2009, so if you want THE ORIGINAL US to appear at your store sometime in THIS DECADE, you’d better contact the
AC PR Department SOON!
Gotta go – Must call
Bets. I don’t know if she’s seen this
yet; she’s at ball practice.
More later… Hang in there.
Love
The One and Only “Veronica”
I must say I never thought that girls of your status would even consider coming to our coastal town. If only I had known.... well, I'll make sure I take some pictures and send them to you so you will recognize this Butler guy when you see him on the street.
OMG the new look so ugly. I'll always love classic bets and ron like coca cola NOT pepsi.
