GARY PANTER BLOG

Dear friends. Thank you for ordering things from my site. I am sorry it takes a while to get them to you. On the site it says to please allow  six to eight weeks to get your merchandise and that it usually true. Sometimes you get it sooner and sometimes even longer, sorry to say. I am the only person at the Gary Store who packs the things up and stands in line at the post office and I am very happy to do that. Sometimes my other activities slow me up. I am maybe trying to do too many things in my life, but for now that is my life and I am enjoying it. If you have a problem with your order please write my active email– the sitemail was long ago paralyzed by spams and spasms. My email is my name with no space between first and last names at gmail. Please write if you have a question about your order. I am friendly if a bit slow.

I have been lucky enough to be receiving fanmail and so on from people since about 1977 and though much of that communication has dispersed to social media,  I still get a ton of stuff. I appreciate your interest and kind words. So please write. I may not be able to respond if you send me your mini comic or ask me to be in a comic and or art show or like your thing or sadly come out to your show. The inflow in invitations has long ago been something I have a hard time keeping up with. My gallery, Fredericks and Freiser plans my shows and show involvement. So though I do read everything, I am  overrun with inquiries. Keep them coming , but imagine you are writing a turtle whose flippers have limited control.

On facebook I am only friending, as they call it, people I really know nowadays. I have friended about 4000 people I don’t know or don’t know well and almost a thousand that I do know, so even though I see that really neat people are kindly asking me to friend them, I am maxed out. There is a fan page for me and I post a lot of the same stuff there, if you want to check it out.

Though I am a so called underground cartoonist and liberal minded artist, I don’t appreciate people putting lewd and lascivious pictures and items on my facebook page. All my friends and loved ones are not wild eyed radicals. There are a few exceptions to my not like filth item rule–Jay Cotton, Johnny Ryan and Hudson Marquez. I have an eye on those three,  but will sometimes use mr discretion and allow them poetic liscence to go nuts because they are seasoned pros. I don’t have a giant appetite for antiheroes and violence, though my art may suggest otherwise.

Thanks for the thousands of beautiful thoughts over the years. I hate that they all eventually disappear into the cybervoid, eventually, here in the future and leave no papyrus trace.

Back to the main point. If your order doesn’t show up, or if you are worried about it, for any reason, please  write me an email or on facebook. Thanks, comrade.
