m@b is hitting the road, as part of The Perpetual Motion Roadshow, to promote the 200 page book Wide Collar Crimes, the collection of eight 21st century m@b issues. At each show I will be giving a presentation on the comic and talking about the stories behind certain strips and characters. I am one of three people on this tour -- Fryan Masters and a funny guy named Ed.

We will be leaving travel diary phone messages each day. Listen to our misadventures at NoMediaKings.net.

The Perpetual Motion Roadshow is an indie press tour circuit that doesn't need the fossil fuel of corporate power. No Media Kings set up and maintains the infrastructure, but is run by volunteers in each participating city.
