NYCC

Just a quick reminder that I'll be signing at the Dark Horse Comics booth at 12-1 pm this Saturday at the New York Comic Convention. I'll be more than happy to sign any copies of Beasts of Burden that anyone brings along, as well as anything else I've worked on while I'm sitting at the DHC set-up, please come by if you can and show your support for the book with the dead puppies and piss jokes. Unfortunately, my partner in crime, Jill Thompson, won't be at NYCC this year. She's busy as hell and needs a good rest-up after the marathon job she pulled in order to finish painting the Hellboy crossover (supposedly still shipping Oct 27th, in time -- time --time! for Halloween!).

That's ot for my "professional time" at the show, no table or other signings besides the one. No real plans other than to escort Princess Emily the Great around tomorrow and catch up with some folks and friends. I might try to attend the Mad and DHC panels as an audience member if things work out (Mort Drucker's scheduled for the Mad panel. Mort Drucker, people! Cmon! Mort Drucker! Mort Drucker!). I'll likely be a satellite pest circling the DHC booth here and there until they ask me to go bother the folks at Boom or Oni or apply for a job at the Javits concession stand. And I expect I'll lumber over to the CBLDF tables at some point to try to snag a copy of the Liberty Comics Annual to see how the Milk and Cheese strip looks in print. Yeah, I'm interested in the other comics in there, but first things first.  You turn to your strip first, get upset at the stuff you screwed up, check the color, and then look at the other people's stuff to see who kicked your ass 8 Diagram Pole Fighter-style and who hacked it out for the charity book.

Anyway, I better go get me some sleep. My schedule's way off (I went to bed after 10 am earlier today) and I'm seeing double. Hope to see doubles of some of you HOF faithful at the show this weekend.

Excelsior, y'all.
