<\/a><\/p>\nCincinnati Comic Expo <\/a><\/p>\n Cincinnati, OH<\/p>\n Sept. 23-25th<\/p>\n This is where I’ll be in Cincinnati this year.\u00a0 It’s a good show, run by good people, with a solid bank of talent and exhibitors.\u00a0 I started doing this show it’s first year and it has quickly grown into one of the best in the entire mid-west.\u00a0 On the off chance just seeing MY smiling puss isn’t enough, I hear tell that Joseph Michael Linsner<\/a> and Kristina Deak-Linsner <\/a>will also be there.\u00a0 Helping me at this show will be…my father.\u00a0 So if you ever wondered what exactly happened to me in my childhood that forged into my brain the ability to write the warped, horrifying tales that I do, you can ask him…I don’t remember anything from age 4 until I moved out of the house.<\/p>\n Brazos Vally, Texas.<\/p>\n Nov.5-6th<\/p>\n This is the first time I’ll have ever been to Texas.\u00a0 I planned a road trip there once, years ago, but only made it to Oklahoma before realizing that cross country road trips are one of those things that seem cool in movies but SUCK ASS in real life.<\/p>\n SUCK…ASS.\u00a0 Imagine being in a prison cell that will crash and explode if you fall asleep, that’s what a car is after about 8 hours of driving. Nothing is interesting, all conversation has run dry, the thought of any more gas station junk food makes your skin crawl…and you start to imagine that the dead animals on the side of the road are giving you the stink eye.<\/p>\n I’m flying to TX this time though, so this should be much more fun.<\/p>\n It’s a strange guest list at this show and that usually makes for a weird and cool show.\u00a0 I’ll be there and so will Sara Richard<\/a> and Craig Roussaeu<\/a>…and a bunch of other people that might be fine but I won’t vouch for ’em.<\/p>\n If you’ll look at the homepage of the website you’ll see Sara on the scrolling banner…but not me.\u00a0 I’m just putting that out there…the powers that be can do as they wish, and I trust I don’t need to bloviate on about my considerable resume.\u00a0 But I do have that in the holster if need be.\u00a0 You know…the award nominations here and in Europe, the 6 years of contributing to Mad magazine, The work appearing on Comedy Central…that stuff.\u00a0 Oh, did I just mention all that, after I said I wouldn’t?\u00a0 Weird.<\/p>\n What are you looking at me like that for?\u00a0 These are the last few shows.\u00a0 This is all I got to get through winter.\u00a0 After these are over I’m not famous again until like March or something….what if I wanted to google myself in January?\u00a0 Or click back on this site in morose reflection during the long bleak winter?\u00a0 I’ll see a Sara Richard, with a smug look on her face as if to say “I’m more important than you…see?\u00a0 See how I am on the head banner and your picture is AN ENTIRE CLICK AWAY! Ha ha”.\u00a0 Look, go ahead and look and tell me that’s not written all over her face. THERE…you see?\u00a0 You see it.<\/p>\n …it’s just that…I’m a whole click away from the home page.\u00a0 You gotta click to the “guest section”.\u00a0 I’m just stuck on that page with the flopsum and jetsum, next to some guy from some show called Stranger Things and comics legend Howard Chaykin.\u00a0 Wait a minute… SHE is on that page TOO!\u00a0 She’s on the website TWICE…W-T-F.<\/p>\n hmm…how is she BEFORE me on the guest page?\u00a0 Last time I checked “R” comes after “P” in the alphabet. Oh, this needs to get handled.\u00a0 This is egregious .\u00a0 This is worse than the time Brent Peeples got more candy in his welcome package than I did.<\/p>\n That’s all I got for now.<\/p>\n _____________________________________________<\/p>\n When Douglas is not complaining he and his work can be found here www.arseniclullabies.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have three more convention appearances slated this year… r.e.
