Neil Swaab

I’ll be at table 622 debuting Rehabilitating Mr. Wiggles: Vol. 3, my brand new collection. Looking forward to meeting other cartoonists!

I’ll be there Sunday guys, good luck today. I’m hoping to get a table next year. I Liked the puck building though, it had charm… but no air conditioning. Hope The armory works out.
