  • Getting ready for Writers Cantina!

    I haven’t mentioned it around here (although the ad has been over on the right for months), but I’ve been putting lot of effort into organizing Writers Cantina this weekend.  I’m giving two presentations: The annual Lousy Book Covers exhibition — “learning from the worst.” And this one:

  • Blast From the Past: #667 …Or Is It?
  • Blast From the Past: #666 Church
  • Blast From the Past: #658 Quentin
  • Sketch of the Day Omnibus Post.
  • Blast From the Past: #655 Anticipation
