I owe this blog an update, but for now, I want to point out that if you’re not keeping up with Jim Mahfood—and in particular his webcomic LA Inkstains—then you’re really missing out:

Probably some more Dr. Sketchy’s stuff coming imminently.

• I was inspired by Paul Pope’s philosophical waxings on ‘design containers’ (via Warren Ellis).
• This made me chuckle, and I don’t even think you have to know the song it’s based on to enjoy it (via Metalsucks).
• And this struck me dumb with both its beauty and my relative weakness in the Force.

I’ve never done one of these post-Con swag pictures before, so this is truly a momentous occasion!

Highlights so far include Nathan Fox’s sketchbook and Becky Cloonan’s Minis, plus the news that Richard Starkings is reprinting the Sleeze Brothers (and his patience with my childhood reminiscences). Surprise finds were Kevin Cannon’s Far Arden and Enrico Casarosa’s The Venice Chronicles, but I have yet to really pay either of them the attention they deserve. Also looking forward to cracking into Carl: the Cat That Makes Peanut Butter Sandwiches by Jim Mahfood. Also scored some sweet Black Metal art by Chuck BB, and a few other bits and bobs I might show later.
