Things that are guaranteed to make any comic good:
1. Boats
2. Large belt buckles
3. A cover that I colored
4. Nikola Tesla
Drew Crowley’s new Chronicles of the WaveCutter has 3 and its only the first issue so who knows what sort of Tesla appearances could come. Pick it up at Star Clipper or go straight to the source and contact Drew through his blog.

Most people don’t know this, but every Sunday I dress up like Waldo and Stephanie and I meet friends in the park for a day of pretend picnicking and acting all artsy-like. Most people didn’t know…UNTIL NOW!
from the current issue of Mary Engelbreit’s Home Companion…

Stephanie and I went with Steve Higgins down to Cape Girardeau over the weekend for the Cape Comic Con. It was the first time having a booth for Stephanie and I so it was pretty cool. Steve Just released Myriad #2, a fable about tigers which Stephanie did some gorgeous art for, so we all had something to peddle
We sat across from the guy from Who Wants to Be a Superhero, the guy from the original Halloween and the guy from 4 different Sci-fi shows. Cullen Bunn, who wrote the excellent The Damned (new 3 issue series just came out) was there. And then there were a bunch of Storm Troopers and some other people…
Cape Con is no San Diego. Nor does it have that hip, indy coolness of SPX or MOCCA. Not that I’m knocking it. I had a good time, and it did have 2 Boba Fetts, which my friend Drew decided is the proper way to gauge how good a con is. If you only go to one comic convention in Cape Girardeau, MO, make it that one.

Playback’s in the middle of a week long tribute with articles on him every day. I would have written something, but it wouldn’t have been much more than “I thought that airplane scene in the new movie was pretty cool, but where was General Zod?” So they let me draw a picture instead.
That being said, take it from a non-superman fan, the All-Star Superman book that’s currently running is one of the best books on the shelves.
Steve Higgins did yesterday’s article about when he was a kid and his dad, through shear luck, brought home the first part of Alan Moore’s classic Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow (from the supermarket of course), which lead to a 15 year quest to get a copy of the conclusion.
My parents got me a copy of Visionaries #4 (based on a forgotten toy line). I just spent a 15 minute quest trying to find a picture of it and gave up. Not quite the same impact. So deprived.

All productivity has been put on hold for 2 months. Check back in June. Maybe July.

Hope Larson (Gray Horses) posted a drawing on her blog the other day and invited anyone to color it, so I gave it a shot just for fun. Its from her upcoming book, Chiggers, about a group of girls at camp, and that’s all I know about it, but I like the drawing.

Okay, that’s the last time I make promises to my stupid blog. my laptop blew up on Sunday, so no Mushroomy updates until I stop sobbing and find somewhere else to do some scanning.

Downtown St Louis, at The Time on Washington and 10th. 7 to 10.
Proceeds go to Heifer International
Stephanie and I both have pieces in it but I didn’t get any pictures before we dropped them off. I should take some tonight at the show, so if you can’t make it check out the flickr page. I’ve been busy getting ready for that, but I’ll be back to finish the purely coincidental character epic on monday.
