The excellent folks at AdamMaleBlog were so intrigued by the Superhero Groin Pillows & poster at Bent-Con that they interviewed Michael and Jeremy for an article on their blog here.
Naturally, we’re over the moon to have created something that garnered some attention, and we hope to keep doing it! As a side note to those of you who have seen the poster and supergroin-related merch at Redbubble, if you don’t see the individual superhero from the poster as its own individual merch yet, it’s because I’m waiting on requests; email me at michael (at) twogargs dot com (or use the handy contact form on our site) to specifically request your favorite herogroin from the poster as its own entity.
Big thanks to Jeremy Thew and Mike Rieger for making this art a reality, and big love to Lee and the folks at AdamMaleBlog for the interest!
Every Sofa looks better with superhero groins.
Have you heard of Bent-Con? It’s a fantastic convention dedicated to LGBTQ creatives and their works! From their website: “BENT-CON is the premiere convention that celebrates and recognizes LGBTQ (and Allies) contributions to pop-culture and geekdom. BENT-CON is committed creating a space where EVERYONE is safe to share and express their particular brand of creativity and fandom proud and out loud!”
Writer Michael McAdam and Artist Jeremy Thew will be there this upcoming weekend, November 7-9, at the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel and Convention Center. Come say “hi” to us in the Exhibitor’s hall!
We’re super pleased to debut a fun new art piece at this con– Superhero ABC’s! Starring– yes– the GROINS of famous superheroes! All in one.. ‘ahem’ — package! Art by Jeremy Thew, colors and formatting by the hardest workin’ man in art business, Mike Rieger!Groin Products!
We wanted to have something fun to show at the con, so what better than posters, throw pillows and tote bags with an in-your-face design? We also started a Redbubble store with these designs on pillows, travel mugs, stickers and more– we picked a few random designs for single pillows but if you want a particular pillow, just drop us a line!
Of course we’ll have our Gargoyles Magnets with us (available on our Etsy Store) and all our great comic titles (which you can purchase online via Indyplanet!) Support creativity! Support freedom! If there’s one thing big super-groins need…it’s support! Hope to see you all at Bent-Con!
Jeremy manning the table!
Whoo! Another Edmonton Expo come and gone! Jeremy Thew and Michael McAdam manned the table at the con, and had an excellent time (as usual) with our talented friends Kyle Burles and Mike Rieger.
Although sales were down this year, we noted that attendance was up, with even more potential for expansion. Thus, we’ll definitely be back in 2015 — who was it that said “90% of life is just showing up?” You can’t be recognized for your creations if you’re not there to promote them, that’s for sure!
As I write this, Jeremy is busy sketching future print ideas and project covers for our five-weeks-from-now appearance at Bent-Con in Los Angeles, California. One of the key things all conventions seem to engender is a heightened sense of inspiration for the future, and Edmonton Expo was no different– as soon as we got to my place we started discussing ideas for the next show.
Mother Pucker!
Jeremy goes home today but he’ll be loaded down not just with luggage but with ideas (and my voice whining in his ears to keep a steady drawing schedule). For my part, I pushed through my lagginess on some writing projects– I’m proud to say THUNDER #5 is in the hands of an ALL-NEW ARTIST. That’s right. A new artist is taking the reins for issue 5– watch this space for a promo announcement!
We debuted two new products on the table this show, our FIGHTING MOTHER PUCKERS puck starring –er– Puck from our favorite cartoon, Gargoyles. We also had the TWILIGHT DETECTIVE AGENCY CASE JOURNAL, a fun blank journal that looks like a detective novel based on our TDA comic.
TDA Case Journal
Speaking of TDA, WE SOLD OUT of issue #1 at the show. Also, we sold out of the Diaperman Graphic Novel, the
complete collection of Diaperman from webcomic to issue 12 inclusive. Still popular after all these years! Watch for an announcement regarding Diaperman coming soon!
I’d like to congratulate the Edmonton Expo staff for a smooth, easy signup process, for being visible and around the whole weekend. It’s appreciated exhibiting at a show that’s not only popular but knows what it’s doing. See you in 2015!

This weekend, September 26-28, 2014, Michael McAdam (writer) and Jeremy Thew (artist) will be at the Two Gargoyles table in Artist’s Alley, E09. Look! A handy MAP!
Us at Edmonton Expo 2014!
We’ll have THUNDER issues 1-4, GLOAMING, TWILIGHT DETECTIVE AGENCY, DIAPERMAN, as well as our popular Gargoyles magnet sets! We’re also debuting some fun new things– Remember THE HARDY BOYS books? We’ve made a Twilight Detective Agency case journal– a blank journal with our Gargoyle Gumshoes on the cover to keep your own notes in! And hey, HOCKEY FANS– you think you know PUCK, the impish sprite from Gargoyles? Well, he’s put together a hockey team and he’s challenging YOU to a game of shinny using one of our FIGHTING AVALON MOTHER PUCKERS pucks! Limited supply, get ’em while they last!
Blank journals and Pucks!
We’ll be livetweeting from the show, so follow us on Twitter at @Twogargs! Also feel free to leave comments on our Facebook Page — https://www.facebook.com/twogargs ! We’d love to meet you if we haven’t met before, and reconnect with friends and fans on the convention floor! Come on by!

Two Gargoyles is venturing into new territory (for us) with our upcoming project, “Spectrum.” Written by Michael McAdam and illustrated by Jeremy Thew, Spectrum is about a young man who is coming to terms with being gay at the same time as he gains superpowers. In the past, comics have focussed on the coming out process, the sex, or gone right for the campy fun aspect of the gay community; SPECTRUM is about introducing the reader, through the eyes of its main character Richie Sorensen, to the entire rainbow of LGBT culture.
SPECTRUM will show as much of the slice-of-life of gay teens’ struggle to understand themselves, while parallelling those struggles with the hero’s (and heroine’s!) journey to realization of their full potential.
Get out your colorful costumes, and be prepared to find your best self along the rainbow road as you join the SPECTRUM!
