Looking at my brand spanking new copy of Ganges #3 (thank you, Quimby's holiday sale), I noticed in the back indicia: "KH.18," noting that this is the 18th Kevin Huizenga book. It reminded me of when I was a kid and I looked at nine inch nails and in the liner notes Reznor wrote "halo twelve," listing each NIN release.
(Apparently Trent is selling the farm so there ain't no halos no more... not that I've cared about their new releases since tenth grade... I do regret just a tinge never seeing them though.)
It made me curious - what number am I on? So, in sweet, stupid irony, instead of actually working and adding to this list, I made a list. I'm counting everything Bare Bones Press has made, so everything I've self-released, including anthologies. It excludes any work-for-hire or anthology submissions. I guess I'll have to change the format when books of mine are released by other people (Harlequin Romance, I'm waiting by the phone). This goes back to 2006. I don't even remember the names of some of these.
The Ultimate Self-Wankjob List
AKA Bare Bones Press publishing history to date
- brain-mouth-heart-penis
- 8 portraits
- The Murmuring of the Sea
- Dreading Spring
- Mayflies & Slide Guitars
- Yo, I’m Ed!
- Dogs
- For Kermit before he wrote “Being Green”
- Comic Strip ‘Til Nude
- Voices in the Dark (anthology)
- Blue Blue Blues starring Sonic
- The Love Song of Kermit the Frog (collects 8 and a page from 5)
- Chris Ware: Paper Musician
- Dark Cloud Comin’
- Egon Schiele death mask poster
- Ghost Comics (anthology)
The titles of some of these make me cringe, some I barely remember (I'm not old, but I will be soon), and I still regret not doing half the run of Mayflies that I did. 250 really woulda been just right... but you live and learn, and then get Luvz... or Lugz, depending.
If you don't "get" what the BBP skull is telling me, maybe you haven't lived.

That was totally productive! Now at least you know and don't have to think about it anymore!
I don't know if I'd necessarily call it productive, but the real benefit is now I can number the future ones, which is fun. any really simple ways of tracking progress is nice.
