I always love Ed Peterson’s photos!

As a former resident of Kansas City, Missiouri, a mother and a HUMAN BEING, this is so upsetting to me that I have a hard time even looking at it. But I’m looking. And you should look too. And pass it on–particularly to anyone anywhere near Kansas City.

This little girl needs to be returned to her family.

They promise to entertain you*, we promise to plug the appropriate cords into the appropriate projectors, and the bar promises to have some booze in it.

Hope to see you there!

The display across from our table at the signing Laurenn and I (and Tallulah!) did at Westfield Comics in Madison.

HUGE thanks to Josh at Westfield and to Pat and Dal at Challenger’s in Chicago for making us feel so welcome. Both shops were amazingly gracious. (And pretty! Yay for pretty comics shops!)

Too much work to get caught up on for a lengthy blog post, alas, but I wanted to at least say thanks.
