Washington-ians! Seattle-ites! People of the Northwest in general! Big reminder that this weekend is Emerald City Comic-Con (Sat, 10-6; Sun 10-5)!

Emerald City has quickly become my favorite convention, because A.) There are tons of Sheldon readers in and around Seattle, B.) The convention itself is super fun, C.) This particular con' will be the first time my friends and "How To Make Webcomics" co-authors will be in one booth, signing together, and D.) We'll be giving a featured talk, also called "How To Make Webcomics," at the show.

It really is going to be a great time. If you can make it, don't miss it! I'll be giving out free sketches to Sheldonistas of all shapes and sizes (There were lots of kids, last time I went to Seattle — which was very fun)...and I'll be chattin' and givin' out the Commemorative, Limited Edition, 2008 Emerald City Comic-Con High Fives (Note: Only bringing 65. Get yours quickly, while supplies last).

Also, to say "thank you" to all the Sheldon readers who do make it out, all Sheldon Original Strips will be $25 off the normal price at the show. So if you've had your eye on a specific strip, now's your chance to snag it! Just e-mail me to make sure I bring your favorite.

Thanks! See you there!
