Ragtag grab-bag
Coming in April — Pink Mince 7: The Funny Pages! Back from hiatus at last with a tabloid-size newspaper edition filled with comics and other treats. Including awesome stuff from Sina Evil, Jessie Johnson, Bill Roundy, James Bainbridge, Howard Hardiman, Luke Jones, Timothy Thornton, and more!
I’ve just come back from an incredible two-week trip to India — a whirlwind tour with stops in Bombay, Ahmedabad, Boroda, Calcutta, Serampore, and Bangalore — and there’s a lot of material to sift through, a lot of new ideas to work on, and a lot of thank-yous to write. Seriously, this past weeks could easily be the start of months of activity if I were able to spin all these threads into other things.
A lot of that will have to wait, however, because I also found out that my UK sponsorship came through, and I suddenly have to jump though all the hoops necessary to move back to England in about three weeks. THREE WEEKS! That’s great, yes, but also a little overwhelming.
Good times.

My pal Dan (at ultrasparky.tumblr.com and pinkmince.tumblr.com) told me over the weekend that Justin Bieber and John Waters met on a talk show in the UK, and that somewhere out there was a picture of the little guy with a John Waters mustache drawn on. I had to go looking…
Here’s the full story, if you’re interested: http://bit.ly/hqDiDb. All you really need to know, though, is this:
Not long after the shrieking died down from Bieber’s introduction, the 16-year-old asked if he could say something. He leaned across to Waters’ end of the couch and pronounced as only a teen could: “Your ‘stache is the jam.”
“Thank you. Thank you very much,” Waters replied, a big smile on his face. He then pulled an eyebrow pencil from his pocket and handed it down to Bieber, saying, “If you want to try it…. Can I draw it on you?”
Bieber took the pen but declined Waters’ offer of artistry. “I’m good,” he demurred. “Maybe later.”
