I will be attending
Genghis Con, a nifty, small press convention being held on Saturday, November 28, 2009 at the
The Beachland Ballroom (15711 Waterloo Rd., Cleveland, Ohio USA 44110-1659, 216-383-1124) from Noon to 6 p.m. It's mostly a comic book convention, but they're including some comics-friendly zine folks such as myself. The focus is on alternative comics rather than mainstream comics but since we won't be far away from the house Superman was created in, someone will probably be walking around with a big red "S" on her or his chest. It's run by my pal Scott Rudge of
Astound Comics and should be a good time. It costs $5 to get in, but every participant is giving out a free minicomic. Mine is another adventure of
The Thirsty Bear and The Hungry Snake. It'ssss ssssplendid, believe me! I'll also have copies of
The Pornographic Flabbergasted Emus on sale for just $10 each, and copies of
Fightin' Fun Comics #2, containing my Astronaut Urine Gorilla story, for just 50 cents each, thanks to FFC mastermind Bob Socha! I'll probably have some more surprises too but you'll have to be there in person to find out. There will be plenty of other cool cartoonists and small press folks there as well such as one of my favorite newspaper cartoonists,
Derf, so I'm fairly excited about the whole event. Hope to see you there!
