I hope everyone had a great weekend and a wonderful Father’s Day!

I went to HeroesCon in Charlotte this past Saturday and had a great time.  I didn’t have a table, I just wandered around, saw the sights, and planned my strategy for next year.  I did reconnect with some old friends and I also got to see some folks that I had been looking forward to meeting in person, including Rodbuddah of Planet Griffin and my arch nemesis, John Aston of OldeTowneComix.  They’re even cooler in person than online.  I even met a couple guys at John’s booth who were familiar with WORLD OF HURT.  That really made my day!   Thanks!

I also had the pleasure of meeting Swain and Dwight (”Mr. Clark”) of SideBarNation.com, to whom I proved my old-school geek bonafides by reciting the opening stanza of the old Godzilla cartoon and waxing rhapsodic about Garcia-Lopez.   I added them to the “Links” menu under a new category for “Podcasts,” so do yourself a favor and check them out.

Finally, I scored some new art supplies, including screentone, so I look forward to incorporating that into the strip soon.
