So, I had a great time going to see Alison Bechdel last night at Powell's. if you look in her photo from the event, look toward the right half of the image, see that grey pillar? Yeah, I'm about five people behind that. The crowd was huge! It reinforced to me that I need to seriously go back and actually read all of Dykes to Watch Out For, Alison's comic strip, with which I've been peripherally familiar for at least a decade, possibly longer. Her new book, Fun Home, is a great read so far, and I'm glad I had a chance to tell her how much it impresses me anytime someone takes something so painfully personal down on paper for others to see. Also, it gave me a chance to hang out with Colleen, Jenn, Kip, Erika, Dylan, Steve, Craig and Susan (hel-lo, Susan!) for some nice friendly chit-chat.

When I got home, I was inspired to, well, work on comics. So I'm making some progress on my Ellie Connelly pitch package, now that I've inked the Henry page. When I get home tonight I'll post that one for you all to see. For now, though, back to work.
