This is the big weekend — Planet Comicon in KCMO! I’ll be there all day Saturday and Sunday (that’s 10-7 and 10-5), at table 551, with three different prints for sale, eating 4 or 5 peanut butter and jelly pumpernickel sandwiches. Tickets are $20+ dollars, so you shouldn’t bother coming if it’s just to see me. But if you want to see a bunch of other stuff . . . YEAH! Do it! Check out their website if you’re still on the fence.
Tonight, I was taking my stuff to the convention center to set up. I had time to spare, though, so I set it up on a sidewalk in the Crossroads to see what kind of response I’d get during a First Friday. Within just a few minutes, some guy driving by gave me a huge thumbs up. BIG THUMBS. It was really cool, and I hope that dude knows how cool it was. Besides that, I met some folks and gave them some flyers if they were interested. I think I’ll go back in May, but I’ll try a different sidewalk.
Sorry there aren’t any backgrounds in today’s comic. It’s hard to do them in small black-and-white panels and not have them be distracting (I think that happened to some degree with the previous strip). But hey, Mouse Kid looks a lot better.
I love this comic! It was awesome meeting you at Planet Comicon!
Shoot, I’m glad you like it. Thanks for the chance to do my first commission! I’ve been telling my friends who weren’t there that my life has purpose now because I drew something for a person in the hospital. Seriously.
I tried to check out your Tumblr to see your convention (and food!) photos, but it seems to be password protected. Do you think you could email me some of the pictures you took? I promise not to send them around or post them anywhere without permission. My email address is my name (same as this website) @gmail.com.
In case you missed it, there is a great picture of you up on on pitch.com

Thanks, Anthony! That’s wild — I didn’t even know the photographer was there.
Is “glorp” the sound an octopus makes when it winks?
