This weekend I’ll be a guest of honor at Anime-Zing! in Davenport, IA. I’ll be in attendance with fellow comic creator Russell Lissau (The Batman Strikes, Shrek), and every show we do together we have some kind of silly and ridiculous story to tell after.
It’s my first trip to Iowa, and I’m really looking forward to the show. I have a number of panels throughout the weekend:
*Breaking Into Comics (with Russell Lissau): 7pm Friday
*@$$hole / An Evening with Trevor Mueller: 10pm Friday
*Making Webcomics: 5:30pm Saturday
*Reading With Pictures: 7pm Saturday
Be sure to stop by and say hi, attend some panels, and let’s have a fun weekend. Hope to see you there!

Looking for something to do Feb 18-20? Come visit Anime Milwaukee 2011!
Last year the show saw tons of growth, but what’s nice is that it’s not an over-whelming show for people unaccustomed to attending conventions. This year they’re in a new (larger) venue, and they’re anticipating an even larger growth in attendance.
I attended the show last year as a guest and will be returning as one again this year. The show has also given m…e a very generous panel schedule for the show, so lots to do and see the entire weekend. Below is the list of my panels along with times, locations, and descriptions.
Hope to see you all at Anime Milwaukee 2011!

18+ (mature – needs badgers)
Once upon a time, professional comic writer Trevor Mueller had an idea for a comic series about a slacker, his girlfriend…and a little Asian demon who swallows souls, and works at a coffee shop. Since that time, @$$hole! has become a multi-award nominated webcomic series loved worldwide. Trevor talks about some of his inspirations, his unique perspective on the world, and why pocky is more than convention candy!
Carl’s waking up, but what has this whole experience meant? We’ll find out on Friday!
Speaking of Friday, I’ll be attending ACEN in Rosemont, Il as a guest of honor! There will be panels, I’ll have a table somewhere on the floor (just look for the tall / bald man), and no doubt I’ll be attending events throughout the weekend. It’s going to be a rocking, time – it’s one of my favorite cons of the year!
Be sure to stop by and say hi.
I’m at Anime Milwaukee this weekend sharing a table with the very talented Alan Evans of Rival Angels fame. We’ll be speaking on a few panels and selling our wares in artist alley.
Be sure to stop in and say hi.

Also, if you check out the guest list over at ACEN, you may see a certain bald man is listed as a guest of honor….
Be sure to show up for that show, too. It’s probably the coolest con you’ll attend all year!
