Had an unmitigated blast at @longbeachcomiccon.bsky.social, tabling between two of my faves: Howard Chaykin and @chrisrobinson.info. Plus, paneling with Howard, who did an incredible sketch for my personal archives. As ever: I should have brought my copies of FREE PLANET; they fly off my table.

I adored Charles Glaubitz's Starseeds graphic novel and am outrageously stoked to get my hands on more. Back today to help make it happen! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mrg...
