POST - CAKE

From a room with a great view in the Windy City.

some more pictures + the comics reporter round up + john p.'s

It. Was. Great.

I'm incredibly proud to have been part of this convention in its very first year - while I've heard reports from different 'toonists and publishers of less-than-astounding sales, mine were enough to at least fund my 'stimulation of the local economy' (read: BUYING COMICS FROM EVERYBODY) and it was a fantastic time in a fantastic town. And that line-up of exhibitors! UFF-DA, as my people say.

We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to the organizers, Neil, Grace, Edie, Max, and Jeff. I'll go every single year.

 Nate Beaty came by and snapped the picture below while Grace worked Ms. Park's table and I lurked off to the side (I guess I do that a lot?) and Grace rejoined with, "What the hell, man? I'm not Laura Park!"

Post-Chicago

Chicago Trip, March 23/24

(everything is as chronological as I can remember it)

Not Pictured: A dead black bear on East 94, four teenage girls doing the Macarena in a field thirty miles north of Beloit, IL, nor me.

March 23/24

Going to Chicago. Be back, a few buck shorter, a few slim jims fuller, and happy to be out of the car. Seeing these guys, in a new and different setting.

Drawings and disposable-camera-photos when I get back, I promise.
