anyone ever hear of a comics pro named Randy Ryder? 🤔

also a window in there where the puppets were singing about the values of reading, and then they teamed up with celebs who drink milk on that

amtrak is just generally a lot more laissez faire than air travel...if you're bringing a pair of normal-sized suitcases, it will likely be fine...also think a short travel time does help

Awesome! i have heard literally nothing but good things about that show, like not a single complaint ever

yes! first time going too...very excited...are you going?

also doing Heroes Con this year, and I expect that to be a tough one for me...but i have good friends who table there every year, and the least I can do is split the cost with them, since i spend SO MUCH time lingering in their space anyway

I had a fantastic single day Saturday at BICS but then a below average day Sunday, so that show ended up being mid for me

really hopeful TCAF will be a good show for me since absurd shipping costs have made it so hard to get my books in Canada

think it'll hit similar to FF4...box office numbers look good but almost no cultural impact

suspect the details of avengers: doomsday don't really matter, and that on a base level, these movies used to have "the juice" and now they do not

truly, I envy his confidence

I was thinking about a sign that says [NOT] For Fans of K-Pop Demon Hunter…or something, obviously the not is smaller

ha, yes, too bad my general table demeanor is somewhere between "look at this shiny thing i made" and "let's get the humiliation over with"...can't muster any Rob energy

oh no worries, he just flipped through it and saw the gore...he was like 8 or 9 years old! and i almost tried to stop him but he was too fast

i agree and pretty astute on him to see that so quickly, but also damn i was hoping he'd ask his parents for the 8 bucks

this kid who could barely see over my table at BICS flipped through Macabre Valley on Sunday and told me: "I love K-Pop Demon Hunter but I don't think this is for me."

Making cool books is extra important right now 👇

yeah! i really enjoyed how much variety you had in your stories, but also how i knew each one was definitely YOU...great stuff, excited for this new project too!
