If you're in the SE Florida area this coming weekend, I hope you'll come out to the Miami Book Fair to say hello to me and fellow Kids Read Comics organizer Dan Mishkin. We'll be tabling with the Kids' Comic Con people, but we'll also be leading a slew of cool comics workshops for kids and adults!

You can bet I'll be doing some Art & Story content while I'm there as well--so stay tuned to the Art & Story Twitter feed for updates on that.

Thanks a ton for posting your own schedule of appearances. I was at the book fair website and the main complaint I had was that the artist appearances were not easily indexed, making it impossible to figure out if a person was making multiple appearances like you are.
I only know you from the recent 80s cartoon themed Supercast episodes so I feel like a second class plebe when it comes to appreciating your body of work. I'm not a storyteller or artist and I'm kind of old so your panels would be a kind of pearls before swine situation if I went to them.
Well have a great trip and I hope you enjoy Miami while you're here!
I just wanted to say it was a pleasure meeting you and Dan Mishkin at the Miami Book Fair on Sunday. We stopped by your booth when you were drawing the Darth Vader sketch and my son thought it was the coolest thing to watch you draw so I picked up two issues of Sugary Serials for him. He loved them.
He also participated in the Kids Comic-Con and had a blast!
Thanks, guys! I'm especially glad to hear about parents who bring their kids to participate in the workshops. It was one of my personal agendas this weekend to inspire some kids to create, and supportive parents are the key to making that happen.
And it was great to meet you, Evil King Macrocranios! Always fun to wax nerdy over Transformers with a fellow fan.
