A wonderful surprise showed up in the mail today— a lifetime achievement award from this year’s SPACE indie comics expo in Columbus, Ohio! SPACE was the very first Midwestern comics show I ever tabled, and I’ve attended most years since 2004.

Thank you so much to Bob Corby for his dedication to our creative community, and for being a great dude. I’ve got about 50 years’ more cartooning left in me, and I hope to fulfill the promise of this award— thank you for your faith & support!
