happen to be in austin, tx this weekend?

then you should be at staple, our local indie comic convention. this year hosts the best line up ever: chris onstead of achewood, stan sakai of usagi yojimbo and jeffrey brown of my favorite auto-bio comics  ever.
friday night, these cartoonists and more will be at the annual pre-party at austin books and comics. saturday is the convention with a post party that night.  the post party will be at red7, located by 7th and i-35. this is really my favorite part, as the artists will be drawing live and selling their work to benefit local independent radio station koop.

the mighty: my bromance with peter j. tomasi intensifies.
