Danger himself calls this work "weird sad hyper-detailed artwork of dreamy buildings of ghosts and trees," which is a very apt description of this work, as you can see in "Made of smoke and chains":

So I looked at this stuff and sternly reminded myself that there was no way I was going to buy any art at the con. Then I walked away. I got about two aisles over when I realized I had to go back and ask permission to take some pictures so I could put a little link to Danger in my blog's linkdump, which he graciously permitted:

This was unequivocally the best thing I saw at this year's #SDCC, but I also got some very good *news* while there, namely, that #EmilFerris's long, long-awaited *My Favorite Thing Is Monsters Vol 2* is finally on the schedule from Fantagraphics:

It's coming out in April, which gives you plenty of time to read volume one, which I called, "a haunting diary of a young girl as a dazzling graphic novel":

My Favorite Thing is Monsters Book Two

The most anticipated graphic novel of 2024, concluding the story of young Karen Reyes, the most inspiring “monster” in contemporary fiction.

(Also, if you're that kind of person and you're in the region, you should know about #MidsummerScream, a *giant* haunter show in #LongBeach; I'll be there on Sunday, July 30, for a panel about the #GhostPost, the legendary #HauntedMansion puzzle-boxes I helped make:

Now *Favorite Thing* book two was the best *news*, but the best *experience* was watching #FeliciaDay get her #InkpotAward and give a moving speech:

And then learning that #RainaTelgemeier also got an Inkpot; I love Raina's work so much:

To cap yesterday off, I also ran into #ChuckTingle, which is as fine a capstone to a successful con as anyone could ask for:
