This is based on conversations between my best buddy Sam and I. Sam and I have been best friends for years, however if you ever heard us together you’d think we hated each other. We give each other grief on everything all the time, yes we are like children. Sam complains that he is not in the cartoon enough and when he is in there he complains about how he looks. He probably is in better shape than I drew him in panel one. He thinks he looks like panel two, which when I met him over 22 years ago he probably did look like that. He is supposed to come hang out with me at the Dallas Webcomic Expo this Saturday, so if you are there you can be the judge. I do have to say that Sam is a pretty good sport about it mostly. He will complain no matter what and I expect no other way. He sure puts up with a lot of my crap from me for sure.
I hope to see a lot of people at DWEX this weekend. I have stuff for sale and some give-aways. I even have a secret password, so don’t tell anyone. If you say the word “aardvark” I’ll give you a special limited edition DFTG CD. It has a digital copy of my book and my whole archive up to 8-19-10. I only have a few to give away so make sure you come by when you get there. Shhh, it’s our secret. I find the best way to keep a secret is to put it on my website. that way almost no one will see it.

That’s what you do with best friends….you keep them humble. Hope you have a good weekend at the comic con.
I use to draw my best friend Chip in a cape with an SC on his shirt for SuperChip. But it was only because he really dressed that way. Anyhow, nice to meet you at DWEX. I got a tip or two from the Tech class as well.
