Show notes: In this episode I recall Nicki and my busy Saturday in the midsouth. First we drove up to east Memphis to be on 98.1 The Max's "Geek Tank Radio" show (Ep. 7.05.2025) with fellow geeks Joe Thordardson, Allan Gilbreath, Max, and guest geek and voice actor Scott J. Carroll. We talked toons and discussed the Mid-South Cartoonists Association and con community in the Memphis area. They put on the annual Memphis Comic and Fantasy Con which returns to the Memphis Hilton Hotel this November 1st. The MSCA will be set up at this one day event.After the recording session we jumped back in the car and headed up to Comics Universe in Jackson, TN to see our buddy Mike Norton. We had a great time talking with Mike and long time comic shop owner "Lethal Rethel" Miller. I got a few books signed by Mike including my copy of "The Rock Gods Of Jackson, TN". Norton's first issue of “Krypto: The Last Dog Of Krypton” has hit stores, and his Image Comics series “Revival” is now a live action TV series on SyFy! The show stars Melanie Scrofano from “Wynonna Earp”, and can be seen on the SyFy channel on Thursday nights, or streaming on Peacock and YouTube. And don’t forget that there’s still a little bit of time left to back Mike’s new Battlepug” book on Kickstarter. Mike will be back at the Memphis Comic Expo/DonnieCon in September, and I'll have a table at the show as well.Nicki and I stopped by The Cellar comic shop on our way home. I've got some sketchcards for sale there, and there are copies of the MSCA's “The Good, The Bad, And The Sketchy” zine available there, too.There's lots going on this weekend and I've got details including Thrill Comics’ Ryan Ladner "Memphis VS Zombies" comic signing at Loots Collectibles, Good Groceries birthday sale, Abandoned Antiques collector show, ongoing MSCA art show at Playhouse On The Square, and the upcoming SatArtDays at Casey’s Art Box.

“Stay tooned” for more details!
