Bill, Jerry, and I were at the San Diego Comicon on Friday and Saturday. Good times. It was super cool to catch up with the Muttpop fans. Tons of super cool folks who were lucky enough to walk away with some amazing sketches by Bill.

San Diego weather is always nice. And the crowd's energy brought us all to a frenzy. I pretty much gave in to the sensory overload. There was too much to take in... but I enjoyed what I could. I really dug some of the new Transformer Animated toys (damn, should have taken some photos). I also picked up that amazing Martin Ontiveros X Gargamel Oni Ojo figure, the Gold Deatbot (I still like my OG Deathbot more), and a Tokidoki Sandy plush for my girlfriend.

Taking part in the Eisner Awards was pretty cool. It was surreal seeing Samuel Jackson give out an Eisner. It just goes to show how much San Diego Comicon has become an extenson of Hollywood. Despite that, it was pleasant to see, hear, and feel that the overall vibe of the Eisners is "make good comics". Forget that lustre of hollywood and just focus on making some damned good comics that people can enjoy. I like that (and hope we are successful at doing it). I was super happy to see Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon clean up the Eisners. I love what they did on Casanova, Umbrella Academy, and 5.

We didn't win for "Best Humor Publication"... but at least the guy that did had a funny acceptance speech (made the hurt go down a little easier). And it got me inspired to focus on reaching out the the comic community. We've been a bit slow at reaching out to the comics community and they still gave us props. Now I'm inspired to reach out to them and fight with them in the trenches. Thanks!
