Whee dawgies, what a weekend.
If you’re new to the strip, and we met you at A-Kon, howdy! Welcome to the fun. We’re in the 19th year of this comic, and if you were handed a flyer, you have a lot of catching up to do. This comic has been going on longer than a great many of you, that I handed flyers to this weekend, have been alive. Yes, a piece of me flakes off and crumbles into dust every time I think about it. But if you like cat comics, well, here’s the rest of what our humble booth showed you. You can start at the beginning, or just go to some random strip anytime between that and now – there are a few storylines, but most of it is day to day humor.
For those who are long time fans (and also old): A-Kon this past weekend was a good trip. Last year was wacky. It felt like everyone was stumbling around, blinking in the daylight, after two years of a pandemic. This year, not so much. Got back to an even keel. We enjoyed it, and met a lot of new readers. Hella fun.
Now it’s over, and I am staying up alternately soaking in the pool, eating, and drinking beer. Good times. Our next con this year is San Diego, heavens forfend. But we’re back on track, and it was great meeting so many new folks and forcing our flyers down their throats this past weekend.
You’ll go to a convention in San Diego? I lived there for 3.5 years, and I miss it. I’m in driving distance, but I’m housebound, so no more cons for me. So, I just have to keep reading the comic, thinking of how my late, lamented Honor reminds me of Eben. Achilles is my fairly normal but a touch skittish pocket panther (Wakanda forever!), and Monroe is my tabby year-old kitten who is alternately narcoleptic and hyperactive, right down to parkour at the drop of any hat.
I hope you didn’t get con crud. That’s always a bit of a downer.
We’ve been at Booth 1230 at SDCC since 2009. It’s without a doubt the most hardcore convention we do every year. We went last year, and even though we handled it like a HAZMAT situation, we STILL both got COVID for the first time.
Hoping to avoid the crud entirely this year.
i prefer wild caught fish myself. maybe they should fill archie’s bowl is seawater instead. XD
