Emerald City Comicon

Seattle's Emerald City Comicon is in just three short days! If you're in the area, be sure to swing by and check it out. It's a great show, with a mile-long guest list of extremely talented writers and artists, and an honest-to-goodness focus on actual comics.

I will be at booth #204, hanging out with Jeph, the Topatoco crew, and my girlfriend Shannon, who is braving her first con with me since we started dating. Please do not creep her out! Creep out my friends Ashton and Tina instead. They've been to lots of shows with me. They're used to it.

I leave on Thursday, but comic updates will continue as usual while I'm away! And trust me... you won't want to miss these ones.

Not that you ever do. Right?

PS: Right?

Emerald City Comicon, Seattle, April 4-5

Just a reminder... I will be at Seattle's Emerald City Comicon this weekend! I will be at booth #204, hanging out with Jeph and our friends from Topatoco. Emerald City is a fantastic comics convention -- some might even call it saucecore -- and I heartily recommend attending to anyone and everyone in the area.

Sam and Fuzzy Q & A: Unleaded Edition
Got a question you want answered? Just drop me an email with "Q & A" in the subject line!

"Are you going to be at this year's Emerald City?" -Emily

I probably should have answered this question when I first received it a couple weeks ago, because since then, Jeph and I have been announced as guests on the Emerald City Comicon website!

But to be completely redundant... yes, I will be at the Emerald City Comicon! It was my favourite show of last year, and I'm eager to repeat the experience. Anyone who finds themselves in Seattle on the weekend of April 4th is thoroughly encouraged to swing by.

"I don't mean to pry, but going through the archives I noticed the occasional guest newspost from Alteka. Who is she and where did she go?" -Andrew

Sometimes I forget how confusing things like that must be to people new to the site. I guess I just assume that no one reads all those ancient newsposts! Alteka was Claire, my girlfriend at the time. Once or twice, when I was unexpectedly incapacitated -- like when I came down with appendicitis -- she helped me out by updating the site for me. You'll also see my friend Ashton pop up now and then in the archive, doing me similar favours.

Reading the newspost archive is always a surreal experience for me. It's just year after year of entries that seem like a whole lifetime ago. References to people I haven't seen in ages, to old jobs... to school even, for goodness sake! It's weird how this website becomes a kind of permanent monument to so many different eras of my life. I guess that's what happens when you are in this game for as long as I've been!

"When did you first started drawing comics, and did you keep any of the old pictures that you drew from way back then? " -Kendra

I first started drawing comics when I was about six or seven years old. And man, were they ever awesome. Just check this action out!



There. Now the site really IS a monument to all the eras of my life!

"Does N-M-S still have all the ninjas under their power, or is it just Aaron, Sam, and Fuzzy?" -Jeffrey

That's a good question! Here's a frustratingly vague answer. You'll find out much more about Ninja Mafia Services and its employees in some of our upcoming stories!

That's all for this week! Tune in on Monday for the next installment of "Help Wanted"!
