That feeling ten minutes before they open the doors to let attendees in to the comic convention of *oh no I’m not in the mood for this*.

Anyway, it’ll pass and I’ll see you at W12 at SPX.

I had a hard time getting into superhero comics as a kid because of the multi-book, multi-series, multi-universe, ever-growing web of expected knowledge. And now… I mean, I’ve watched and will watch it all, but lordy.

My happy hop over to kidlit in the β€˜00s was mostly out of how dang long drawing takes. But holy heck, the delta between a trad. book deal for an illustrated book from a big 5 or big indie … and a deal for a graphic novel from a big deal comics indie is the Grand Frickin Cavern.

Totes. I made a scale model full dang planet globe for an ongoing comic and it continues to make drawing more fun and more REAL.

When the web is a gutter choked with untested inedible AI generated recipes, all of you will look to my cooking blog and shout "SAVE US with your tested home-cooked recipes!"

And I'll look down and whisper "No. In 2003 my dear husband I visited a charming boutique in Martha's Vineyard..."
