The Googly Gooeys Made it to the I Love Charts Book! :)

As soon as we received news that we made it to the I Love Charts book, we were thrilled! I Love Charts is one entertaining tumblelog which hosts (you guessed it!) charts. Haha. We usually associate numbers and lines with our math or economics classes but this blog covers visual maps & graphs about practically everything–song lyrics, your love life, movies and even cats!

Back in our Tumblr days, Jason & Cody were the guys who were generous enough to reblog our entries. So, one day, when we saw that they were creating a book based on the blog, we instantly submitted Googly Gooey charts! Two charts from the Googly Gooeys made it to this book Wee! Well, honestly, I don’t know how many times I actually typed “open submission” or “call for art” on Google without much success. It has always been my wish for our comics to make it to a book and being in a book with our fellow tumblr-rrrr’s & my one of my favorites, Gemma Correll is something else

The foreword to this book was written by ~~Tumblr Daddy~~ Tumblr Founder David Karp How cool is that? David Karp actually follows this blog on Tumblr!

The Life (and Death) of Your Social Networking Account

Social Networking: The Life (and Death) of a Social Networking Site

Social networking is probably one of the most overused terms these days. I’m still counting how many social networking accounts I’ve already signed up for. Sometimes, people would ask us when I started posting Googly Gooey cartoons and I remember that even before we moved out of Tumblr, we were on Facebook (well, we’re still on Facebook). But wait, before I even created that Facebook page for the Googly Gooeys, I was actually posting my illustrations on my personal Facebook account and prior to that, I used to post everything on my personal Multiply account.

Before I started posting doodles on Multiply, I was blogging then with words in Tagalog It was fun while it lasted. I also remember that before I signed up for a Multiply account I would update my Friendster page now and then. I didn’t have a MySpace phase but today, the Googly Gooeys are on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, here and just the other day, I finally convinced myself to sign up for Pinterest. Ha!

What social networking accounts are you on? Which ones do you think are thriving / dying?

P.S. I know we do have a LOT of Social Networking comics & I just realized the other day that of all things, I wasn’t able to capture the life & death of a social networking account. Anyway, here are some old favorites:

Signs That You’re Addicted to Instagram
The Life of a Twitter Trend
Five Signs That You’re Addicted to Facebook

Fact of the Day #50: You’re addicted to social networking if…

Well, that’s just a few of the comics about social networking. If you still can’t get enough, there’s more about the internet

Have fun reading!

The Googly Gooeys Made it to the I LOVE CHARTS Book!

The Googly Gooeys on the I Love Charts Book!

A couple of our Googly Gooey toons made it to a book in the U.S.! It’s the I Love Charts Book curated and written by Jason Oberholtzer & Cody Westphal of The I Love Charts Tumblr. It also has a foreword by David Karp, the founder of Tumblr.com (How cool is that?)

Thanks again to Jason & Cody (We’re sending hugs too!) You just don’t know how much time we’ve spent wondering, hoping & searching for a way our toons can be published in a book!

You can check out the book on Amazon.com. If & when you have the book, check us out on pages 3 & 12

XOXO,
