Show notes: "Drawing Funny" episode 90 is so nice, I did it twice! Due to technical difficulties mixed with my stupidity, I had to record/edit this podcast twice! It's the episode that for a bit- wasn't! Hopefully you'll think it's worth the effort and learn something from it...even if it's how NOT to do something. I discuss some of my history with comic conventions, my opinions on the con scene today, some of my "rules" and advice for setting up at cons, plus thoughts on searching for new revenue streams for my art and making money on an image for years to come. Has the con scene hit oversaturation? Are comics and comic creators becoming a rare sight at "comic cons"? Is consignment and/or print-on-demand worth the effort?

I share news on the upcoming Mid-South Cartoonists Association Monthly Dinner Gatherings at Garibaldi's Pizza (1st Tuesday of each month from 6-8pm), our MSCA "Art Of The Game" art show (now through Jan. 30) and the recent artists reception out at the Memphis Jewish Community Center. We had a great turnout for the reception at the MJCC.

Shameless plug- on Feb. 28 I'll be at the Mid-South Collectible Toy Show in Bartlett, the Beale Street Monster Club's Bigfoot On Beale Celebration at historic A. Schwab's on May 16th, and my "Featured Creatures" art show this summer upstairs in the 2nd Floor West gallery at Playhouse On The Square June 6-Aug. 2, 2026. Free refreshments at the joint artists reception with Angi Cooper on June 5th from 5-7pm. Show will be in conjunction with Playhouse's performance of "Sweeny Todd". I've got original art for sale including hand-drawn sketcovers and sketchcards out  at The Cellar Table Top Games & Comics. Check out my website for details.If you have any event or art project news you'd like me to share, or if you'd like to promote your podcast or Kickstarter campaign, you can email me at podcast(at)drawingfunny(dot)com. PDFs of your comics or zines can be emailed to me there or you can send a physical copy to the MSCA address below. Exact details on submitting are in this episode. And always feel free to stop by one of the MSCA events and discuss it all in person with our group, or to do an in-person interview with me. I always love talkin' toons and sharing news. Stay safe...and WARM!
