In my catsitter experience, getting round a cat like that can take days or weeks so giving him Greenies was definitely the smart shortcut. Glad you made useful contacts despite the aisle blockages and am excited by the hint about new greeting cards. I want to check your merchandise out but havent had time since returning to Sydney to navigate the site. Love your tote bag which would great for gifts, accompanied by a Last Kiss card of course. Also enjoying this week's strip (I remember it in its previous lifetime) and waiting for next episode. All best from the antipodean fan.

This con is probably very different from the NY con you went to years ago. It's run by Reed Exhibitions (the same folks who do Book Expo America). It's the fourth year for the con and it's undoubtedly the second largest con in the U.S. I heard (but have no way to confirm) that attendance at the con went up 15 percent from last year and was at 77,000. That seems a bit high to me. But it's definitely huge--though not nearly as big as Comic Con International in San Diego. One nice thing about the con is that it draws a different crowd and to some extent different guests than the San Diego con. And since many of the big publishers are in New York there are lots of pros. Glad you enjoyed the report, Allen. This con is probably very different from the NY con you went to years ago.

I went to a NY con once back in the late 80's but have not been to one there since. Would like to try this one out someday. Hope you sold some stuff. Shoulds like you made lots of great contacts though. Fantastic blog on the NY con. I went to a NY con once back in the late 80′s but have not been to one there since.
