I have three more convention appearances slated this year… r.e. Three more instances of being treated as the comedic and illustrative genius that I am, and not the weird degenerate living above a print shop in a crappy neighborhood…which I also am. I’m looking forward to these conventions, which as… Continue reading
Big Timing- Passive aggressively pointing out that you are more important than the person you are interacting with. They say, if someone else’s behavior drives you nuts it’s because it is either just like you behave, or the exact opposite. Self serving and self aggrandizing acts annoy the sh*t out… Continue reading
See that that up there? Those are stats on viewers of this blog coming from facebook. I’ve already addressed what a worthless pain in the ass FB has become due to continually changing algorithm (most recent blog on that here). An algorythm meant to increase their value to advertisers/value to… Continue reading

Less than one month away and closing in fast is the mother of all Comic book conventions Comic-Con International. It is an event that one plans the year around. Five days, 160,000 or so people, 600 plus tables of competition (many of whom have budgets that dwarf small counties). Product,… Continue reading
