The story has been told many times before of how I walked into a friend's house for a BBQ, saw Lauren across the room, and immediately knew I had to meet them. We met, and here we still are 9 years later. Thank you, my love, for being there and sharing these years of love and adventures!

Since people have been asking, no, I will not be at FanExpo Chicago this weekend. Timing did not work out this year. I hope everyone has a great time! My remaining cons for this year are Baltimore Comic-Con and New York, so I'll hope to see you at one of those! @fanexpochicago.bsky.social #comics

Recovery Reading: I've long been wanting to sample the pulpy world of Gil Brewer, and this novel from 1959 seems like a sufficiently lurid example. And it's better than "Little Tramp," so it's got to be good, right?😉 #gilbrewer #pulp #pulpfiction #vintagepaperback

The Great Recovery Reading Dilemma!: I've finished Flyin' Jenny, so what classic comic strip should I read next? "Connie" by Frank Godwin or "Bruce Gentry" by Ray Bailey? I've wanted to read both for many years! #frankgodwin #connie #newspapercomics #comicstrip #comics

Recovery Reading: What would being stuck in bed be without some pulpy mystery and adventure? So I'm reading "The Road of Crime" starring The Shadow, from October 1933 and written by Walter Gibson. #theshadow #waltergibson #pulp #pulpfiction

Recovery Reading: Waylaid for a few days, I'm getting a chance to finish up the second volume of "Flyin' Jenny" newspaper strips by Russell Keaton, thanks to Stefan Wood and his Comic Strip Appreciation Group. Keaton is one of my big influences. #flyinjenny #comicstrip #russellkeaton #gga #comics

Another San Diego Comic-Con is over. Here are a few commissions I did. I wish I could say I made a profit (I didn't), but I had a good time, saw so many friends and fans, didn't totally embarrass myself on my panels and signings, and got a number of good leads, so hopefully that pays off later.

Look who stopped by! It's Pinup Palmer, aka Gwengoolie from Svengoolie! @pinuppalmer @comic_con #sandiegocomiccon #pinup #gwengoolie #svengoolie #comics #pinuppalmer

For years I've been enjoying the eye-themed old movie posters (and posted a few) decorating the walls of the Rosin Eye Center at Rush Hospital in Chicago, but today I spotted something I hadn't seen before: Harold Lloyd's glasses! Read more in the second photo. #haroldlloyd #silentmovies #chicago
