Show notes: On Saturday, May 31st I attended the 3rd annual Memphis Libraries Comic Con at the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library location on Poplar Avenue. SNL's Chris Parnell was their special guest this year at the main library. Chris is originally from the Memphis area (Germantown, TN), and is the son of local radio legend Jack Parnell. I had a booth there up front on the left side again this year. The show had a great turnout and I sold several of my stickers, prints, and a few sketchcards. I got to do a few interviews with some of my fellow local cartoonists- Antone and Janet Wade/Toshigawa Universe*, Dale Martin/Watusi The Talking Dog, Matt Bowers/Memphis, and Eric McMeans/Raptor Boy. I had my wife/booth babe (and birthday girl) Nicki with me. She held down my booth while I got out from behind it to do the interviews.Also in this episode I go over some of my recent health issues, and give you info on upcoming events like Anime Blues Con, the Metropolis Superman Celebration, Memphis Comic Expo, MSCA upcoming art shows, monthly dinner gatherings at Garibaldi's Pizza, and SatArtDays at Casey's Art Box. Nicki and I have been enjoying gardening and getting some outdoor time with The Luthors. Hard to believe Lex's gotcha day from Metropolis is coming up next week....10yrs! Thanks to everyone who talked toons with me or stopped by my table at the Library Comic Con- great seeing everyone. Hope to see you all at upcoming events this summer and fall. I plan on being at the Memphis Comic Expo/DonnieCon in September, and the Memphis Comic & Fantasy Con/MCFC in November.

Show notes: For this episode I attended the first ever MidSouth Mega Con at the Memphis Sports & Event Center located in the Memphis Fairgrounds. I was at this inaugural con to man the Mid-South Cartoonists Association and record a few interviews over the holiday weekend. I got to talk toons with local artists including Ryan Ladner, Shane Luttrell, That Katie Jones, Peter Melonas, Dr. Kevin Thorn, MSCA president Kevin L. Williams, and MCFC co-organizer/"Geek Tank Radio" co-host Brandon Olmstead. Kev brought along some of his Muppet friends- Kermit, Fozzie, and Grover. We handed out a lot of MSCA stickers and postcards, and even sold a few zines!There was lots of great cosplay, including our table neighbors The 731 Ghostbusters and Star Trek fan group Station Shelby. We loved getting t meet the amazing animals from the Soft Landings of Tennessee waterfowl rescue, and the awesomely chill pup from the GameOver Arcade in Southaven, MS. We also got to meet actors Reb Brown/Captain America, Sean Patrick Flanery/Young Indiana Jones, and legendary voice actor Billy West/Ren & Stimpy. (You can see pics on our MSCA Facebook page.)The space was huge, clean, and had great lighting and A/C. There's plenty of room for this con to expand for next year. The Memphis weather was definitely frightful outside, but it was dry and comfortable inside. This fall Memphis Comic Expo will be at this same event center in September. I'll have a table at DonnieCon for the first time in a few years. Between the pandemic, travel, and other show commitments I haven't been able to table there since probably 2018 at the AgCenter. Looking forward to MCX being at this new location.This Saturday, May 31st is the third annual Memphis Libraries Comic Con at the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library - 3030 Poplar Avenue, Memphis, TN 38111. I'll be set up at this free event along with several MSCA members 10am-3pm. GOH is Chris Parnell. Oh, our next monthly dinner gathering at Garibaldi's Pizza is this Tuesday, June 3rd from 6-8pm, and our deadline to turn in art for next month's art show at Playhouse on the Square. Hope to see you there.Stay tooned, and support local!LINKS:Drawing Funny Podcast website – www.drawingfunny.comDrawing Funny Podcast on Spotify – www.podcasters.spotify.com/Drawing Funny Podcast on Apple – www.podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/drawing-funny/Mid-South Cartoonists Association/MSCA (Memphis, TN) – www.midsouthcartoonists.orgMy art website – www.linworkman.comGaribaldi's Pizza (U of M) – www.garibaldispizza.comKevin L.

Madison and Jt tell you all about their adventure at Memphis Comic Expo!
The CBB Boys were all super busy during the tail end of September and the entire month of October but they finally regrouped to talk comics in their virtual comic cave. But to venture over to the spinner rack, you have to first clear a hurdle in hearing about the group members exploits at New York Comic Con, at Memphis Comic Expo, being super gay in Las Vegas, being super lawyerly in Portland and traveling to the Diamond State! Comics discussed this time around include an exploration of one the classic New Mutants arcs from the 1980s, DC's current Dark Crisis event books and Stepping Stones by writer/artist Lucy Knisley which is all about a city girl finding a new life on a farm. All you have to do is hit play and you'll get a whole lotta Steve, Caleb and Billy Z and a whole lotta comic talk!
