ZONE SYSTEM
Evan here. I just posted the comic that I made for Alternative Press Expo. Synopsis:
When Kate loses her camera, she buys a new one. This is not just any camera, unfortunately, but one that exposes one's darkest secrets, including Kate's own. But is it the camera that is cursed, or her own perception of reality?
Click above or here to read it. Enjoy!
(also, I should mention that this comic is suggested for mature readers)

FOR SALE: THE BIBLE!
To celebrate this holiday, we're going to start selling copies of The Bible. We originally printed these up for the Alternative Press Expo, and have a bunch of copies to share!
When we first put the comic online, a lot of you had asked about getting your own copy... NOW YOU CAN! The comic is in FULL COLOR and 44 pages of catechism and Sharpie-madness bible stories!
We're selling them for 5 BUCKS (4 for the booklet, 1 for shipping).
Sadly, no paypal for this, but if you want one just email us at samehat @ gmail.com and we'll send you details on where to send that LINCOLN. Please include an address where we can send the book (DUH!).
EASTER EGGS FOR YOU!!

HAPPY APES
We had a super great time at APE this past weekend! We hung out with our excellent friends, sold some comics, bought even more new ones and met lots of cool people (Shu and Makiko, Jason, Jen Wang, Steven, the other Derek, Martin from Giant Robot, and Vale got chatted up by us). But, the best of all was tabling with such a fucking talented and chill group of kids.
THE BANG GANG in FULL EFFECT:

front, L-R: Anthony, Ryan, Evan
We definitely are planning to keep this little group going-- more shows, more hanging out and maybe a Zine in the works?

WILD APES
my first post on the new MacBook!
We've been truant, missing-in-action, and generally as busy as killah bees. I had a rough February that kept me offline for a bit, and Evan has been kicking his own ass to create mega-beautiful illustrated-photos (that keep getting more and more incredible!) and original comics for your consumption. More recently, I've been muddling through the last half of our Junji Ito epic (our longest story yet) and planning layout for THE BIBLE & SAMEHAT BOOKLET.
Why all this nonsenese?
BECAUSE WE GOT A TABLE AT APE! (alternative press expo)
In SF on April 8-9, our KREW is going by 'The Bang Gang' and we'll be sharing a space with our massively talented friends: Derek, Hellen, and Anthony . We'll also be selling some GOODS! They are:
We want you to COME OUT TO SEE US! After the show, we're hoping to sell THE BIBLE copies direct from this site-- we'll post more details next week about this!
And to prove that we still love you, we've posted a BRAND NEW Koji Aihara scanlation (see post below!) :)
WELCOME BACK to SAME HAT!
