I have to say, all of the babies seemed just as happy as the adults to be there. No crying, projectile vomiting, etc.

These sketches were drawn freehand in a small sketchbook, with some spot greys added from a watercolor paint set.
Below: 4 scenes that I witnessed. Re: Female cartoonist: I think I saw Joost Swarte chatting her up late Sunday afternoon.

Below: five more scenes from SPX. Note: the people in the masks were part of a group and I can't recall who they were. They had a table and published comics. My apologies in advance. They were all very nice except that they would not share their beer.

hey these SPX toons are great! Really had me laughing. Great job.
Hi Mike,
May I have permission to post your cartoon showing my Rabbit Army over on the Plastic Farm site. Obviously I would link back to this site...
Thanks!

Thanks for your kind words, Alan.
Rafer, thanks for writing. Of course you can post the cartoon with a link to me.
Mike,
Love these sketches!
Love 'em! The airport sketches were great, too!
Man, I have GOT to get back to SPX one of these years...
Love these. You could do a few more and put them all together as a mini and sell them at the next SPX!
I second hypnobee's suggestion! Make the mini!
Fantastic comics, Mike! I was at SPX and sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you. Maybe next year!
I like the toon, but as the guy in the superhero outfit, I must say the coat is actually part of the costume. I had to take it off when it got hot, but then could put it back on when the AC kicked in. That's the DeadBeat, Jeremy Massie's character, and he sold a lot of books that day.
