Double Strip Today
I'm off to Alabama to visit the in-laws. They
don't have high-speed internet at their place, and I don't have a wireless card
to use. So I'm going to go ahead and post Friday's strip today as an early
treat. Enjoy!

Back from Chicago. My Feet Hurt.
Another Wizard World
Chicago has come and done. Chicago and Heroes Con are my two favorite
shows of the year, but when they are back-to-back, it does prove to be a test of
both stamina and willpower. It was nice that the first day consisted of my
wife and I spending time watching a game at Wrigley Field. Both of us are
baseball fans, and a visit to the Friendly Confines is something every baseball
fan should do. Even if it was interleague play.
I was set up at the Ape booth, where we had 20' of
space. I spent most of my time selling books, reviewing portfolios, and
listening to pitches, but I did manage to do a little shopping and explore a
little. The highlight was spending like three hours with Bob Layton and
his assistant at the Hyatt Bar on Thursday night. Bob Layton was the guy
who turned me into a comic fan with his Iron Man run in the late 70s and early
80s, so spending some time with him was a thrill.
I did also manage to get a few sketches--one my the
aforementioned Layton, one by Art Baltazar, one by Justin Bleep, and another
amazing Matt Kindt piece.
Stan was there as well, which will probably be the
only time this year that the two of us will get together. Ah well, there's
always next year.
