Q: What Have You Been Up To, Mister?

A: Nothing but trouble!

Jerry Seinfeld

Non-joke answer: Lots of projects, assignments and writing. Here’s an update…

The Devastator: I successfully fundraised, co-founded, and am now Editor In Chief of a new quarterly humor book series called The Devastator! It features both renowned and upcoming writers and artists from The Daily Show, The Simpsons, Onion News Network, Cracked, Funny or Die, McSweeney’s, DC Comics and more. Volume one was released this summer and wrestles with a mega beast of pop culture: Cartoons!

You can snag a copy at bookstores in NY/LA, on Amazon, or buy one directly through us. We just launched a PDF version for $1.99 on WOWIO, which is perfect for your iKindlePad.

Traveling with The Devastator: Recent comic book shows we attended include the infamous San Diego Comic Con and SuperMarket in Los Angeles. (Click the links for pics.) Soon we’ll be setting up shop at the West Hollywood Book Fair and APE Con in San Francisco. See you there, internet!

Leetstreet Boys: Now more epic than ever! This month, we’re kicking-off a spooky, 2-month-long  webcomic story, where the band must figure out the identity of the mysterious The Fanboy of the Opera… because their lives will depend on it!

This Very Website: I brushed off some cobwebs and updated pretty much all the sections. Woo hoo!

As we speak, I’m finishing a super-huge project that should be released later this year. Looking forward to telling you more about it soon. In the meantime, thanks for reading this thing I just wrote!

The Devastator

For a few months now, I’ve been dropping hints about a major project I’ve been working on.  It’s now revealed!  *GASP*

The Devastator is a quarterly book of comics and satire, collecting work from upcoming and well-established writers and artists.  Our first book is about cartoons, and features contributions from James Urbaniak (The Venture Bros), Todd Alcott (Antz), David Malki ! (Wondermark) and R. Sikoryak (Masterpiece Comics).  We just started fundraising yesterday on Kickstarter to support the first print run and already we’re over 20% of the way there!  Here’s an updated widget with our current progress:

Help us devastate everything – together!

Geoffrey’s Lowsy Smarch Update

“What do you want to do this month, Geoffrey?”

“Same thing I do every month… write comedy for the internet!

The animation super-site Lineboil asked me to weigh-in on the upcoming Oscars, especially the Best Animated Feature award.  I wrote them a funny chart, which editor Aaron Simpson spruced up with some nifty graphic design.  Here’s my take on Up, Coraline, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Princess and The Frog, and the Irish one nobody’s seen or heard of.

I’m writing a new arc for the Leetstreet Boys webcomic, where Rose looks for true love at an anime convention.  What makes this story special?  Well, for one, Justin’s awesome camouflage.

I will also be a contributor to GeekWeek, a cool new site that brings all the nerd universes together: comics, video games, pro-wrestling and more.  So far, I toured visitors through the freak show that is obsolete video formats and kicked off a regular series where I look at the hilariously weird clips from each week’s RAW and Smackdown.

Also putting the finishing touches on maybe my most ambitious project to date: a collaboration of comedy writers and cartoonists that will be ready for unveiling next month.  I can’t wait to tell you what it is and who’s involved.  You’ll plotz.  Thaddeus J. Plotz?  Perhaps.

Hey Geoffrey, What Have You Been Up To Lately?

The above image was sent to me by Brian, who really liked my roundup of Mordor images on Comedy.com.  The post inspired him to make a new one.  Fist pump to you, Brian!

I’ve been hopping around the internet, writing comedy bits for folks.  Here’s a roundup:

Over at MadAtoms, two of my recent pieces made the front page of Digg.  Thanks, Digg!  I also wrote a map for Conan O’Brien, to help him look for new employment:

I guest edited at Comedy.com for a few days, covering funny iPad videos and other accidental viral video stars:

I also started blogging for a new site called Technomaly.  They have a humorous take on daily tech news.  Here are some blogs I wrote for them:

The Leetstreet Boys webcomic is going strong, thanks to our sensational new artist Erin Nagy.  We just finished an arc where the band crash lands on top of a sushi restaurant, which desperately needs their help.  The fun starts here.

Finally, I updated my reel with new clips, like “A Street Fighter Christmas” and me dressed in an elephant costume:

Also, I’ll be appearing in a comedy show for charity next week.  Here’s the info:

HM157 is one of the coolest community use spaces in all of Los Angeles. The only problem is, so much free stuff happens there that the house raises very little money! Why not help the house stay afloat by checking out our comedy show? It’s the perfect way to celebrate the day before Valentine’s Day! And bring your dancing shoes because after the show, we’ll be dancing all night long!

Love + Comedy: A Fundraiser For HM157
Saturday, February 13th @ 10pm
Doors Open @ 8pm
$5 Suggested Donation – Dollar Beers At The Bar!

Working on all sorts of other projects I have to keep hush-hush for now.  Stay tuned and learn more.  MORE.
