He/him, internationally published cartoonist, retired elementary educator, geek (or maybe nerd). Done a lot of things... some of them interesting, most of them not. Looking forward to the next Whimventure®
The robotics team I was advising did amazing all things considered - their first tournament, middle and elementary school mixed, etc. By the end they missed the finals by one spot coming in 13th. They learned so much and get to do it all over again (without me) next Saturday.

Even as the weather starts to get cooler I still like iced tea. This time around it’s Dryad Tea’s “Xavier Quinn” an Earl Grey blend.

Just a bit of Whimventure today…Bigfoot Fest in Ohio. Home to a Sasquatch named “Nelson”?!? I did notice a family resemblance.

Remember the first rule: if a cat falls asleep on you, you are not allowed to move until the cat leaves. No matter what.

Awesome night at the Ringo Awards - so many creators and books I had actually read being honored. Congratulations to everyone! It was nice to hear many talk about their “imposter syndrome” but I still think the only real imposter in the room was me. @baltimorecomiccon.bsky.social

Cecil’s Hotel Hallway carpet photo. Here at the Ringo Awards dinner. He’s excited to hear his name called… I don’t have the heart to tell him you have to be nominated first.

He’s great! I picked up the shirt they made from the cover too- they left in his notes that were in the bleed. Instead of cropping the image! So cool!

Today’s mission almost accomplished. I attended most of the sessions I had wanted to. Chatted with some really nice people. Still have two books that need to be signed, but tomorrow is another day. Cecil got to say “Hi” to Jeff so he’s happy.

First panel @baltimorecomiccon.bsky.social is done. Great ideas on Worldbuilding from some experts in the field. Now to go and buy their books for “research.” 😁

I keep being asked if I’m an exhibitor… Have I finally reached that level of geekiness? Still have a couple hours to go until things start and am sitting in a quiet spot away from everything and everyone.

Cecil is awake and wandering around. Yes, there’s already a line that he is not a part of… yet.

Cecil’s Hotel Hallway photo in Baltimore. He is well rested since he did none of today’s driving… He’s very excited and wondering if it’s tomorrow yet?

Designing “Comic Shop Gremlins” for a comic strip idea. I’ve considered working on some action poses. Then realized that the majority of the gremlins I know of just sit around looking at their phones. Almost more like gargoyles instead of gremlins. Ahhh… the creative process in action.

Now I just need to get it to the location, and get the reviewer to approve it.
