Episode 68 - Memphis Comic Expo 2024

Show notes: My wife Nicki and I headed downtown on Sunday to attend the Memphis Comic Expo. Unfortunately my voice had other plans..! We did have a great time in the newly remodeled Renasant Convention Center and talked toons with many of our friends- Janet and Martheus Wade, Mike Norton, John Martin, Peter Melonas, Eric McMeans, Brad Starnes, Andrea Starnes, Benito Deranzo, Greg Cravens, Jaime Wright, Sam Payne, Jerry "The King" Lawler, and met some new ones including artists Zion Titus from Maryland and Steve Messenger from Ohio. As usual, the annual "DonnieCon" was a great event, had an amazing guest line-up, amazing artists alley, and a variety of vendors. My next event will be the inaugural Memphis Monster Con at the Pipkin Building in Liberty Park. I'll be set up there with my new "Scared Silly" zine, plus plenty of prints, scketchcards, sketchcovers, stickers, buttons, and more. Hope to scare ya there!
