New PostCard!!

Team Rabbit is about to unveil a new postcard. What? that's not very exciting you say? Well, consider this; There are four highly creative individuals that make up Team Rabbit... "Team" being the operative word here. This means making something that might seem as simple as a postcard can and does take some time. This is so because we're all pretty talented people that compliment each other well so making a postcard becomes a flurry of comments and changes until we get it just right.. meaning either everyone is happy or nobody is.

This postcard design was headed by S.Y.Choi and added contstructed by C.M.Butzer with lots of lively commentary by Paul Hoppe and Ben Trinh.

It will be available November 15th for those who'd like a few send us an email:

Rabid Rabbit #3 and half debuted at SPX

In the face of great opposition the Rabbit does not cut and run.. well sometimes, depends really. When and if we get Choi mad, which is really hard to do. well. yes, We've cut and RAN really fast, well as fast as 3 thirty year olds sans-exercise can run. Anyway Ben X. Trinh assembled the book from the comics we created for the NYpress and it turned out to be quite lovely!

Rabid Rabbit went to SPX

Yes, Team Rabbit returned to the Small Press Expo in Bethesda, MaryLand( why is SPX in Bethesda? Until someone sits us down and gives us a long and logical explanation it will have the fate of how many licks to the center of tootsie pop) It was a Success! by success we of course mean that it didn't suck for us! S.Y.Choi, Ben X. Trinh and Myself were there to represent Team Rabbit( Paul Hoppe was sick, we hoped he'd get better, but he didn't). We weren't alone though, aside of thousands of comic fans, Brian MICHAEL Weaver, Adam 2 Kidder, and Jillian Tamaki were there hawking there wares- RPS and Skim, check them out! We had much fun, which is of course selling many books and drinking many beers. Memorable moment? for me it'd have to be when Tony Millionaire stumbled out of the reception bar, outside past the smokers(hence why Choi and I witnessed this, Ben was keping us company) and collapsed on the hotel lawn. Memorable to be sure, EXTRA memorable was the guy with what only can be described as a civil war reenactor moustache followed him and crashed beside him!

Back cover is done by that guy.. what's his name.. oh, C.M.Butzer.. um me.

S.Y.Choi Joins team Rabbit

Sung Yun Choi has made the fool hardy mistake of letting Paul and I convince her that working on the rabbit is fun. But there is no denying Choi is one of the most talented people we know and here skills and patience will greatly benefit the magazine as our Production Director! Check out her site if you've got any taste! CHOI!
