I’ll be at table #332 showing off my new comic. Come by and say hullo!
I’ll be at tale 230 with my new “Great Scott” books and not-as-new “Bo Nanas” ones.
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.
