[mousepod]

Nerd alert: the following post contains major comic geek activity. If you are at all offended by ridiculous amounts of geekiness, please skip this post. I'm sure there's something more interesting later in this thread.

Spent the entire afternoon and entirely too much money at APE - that's the Alternative Press Expo - here in San Francisco. I picked up a ton of cool comics, zines and books.

On the way there, I stopped at my friendly neighborhood art supply store and bought a little sketch book. I figured that in the spirit of the MousePod, I'd try to get as many cool artists as I could to do a sketch for me featuring a character with Mickey ears. Here's the final tally of who did what:

No ears (because I didn't ask them):
- Jhonen Vasquez
- James Sturm

No ears (because they didn't want to)
- Seth
- Adrian Tomine (he made fun of me for asking)

Mouse Ears (these folks are supercool)
- Christopher (of The Ghouly Boys)
- Omaha Perez
- Jaime Hernandez
- Gilbert Hernandez
- Mario Hernandez
- Melina Mena (she's new, and muy cool)
- Eric Knisley
- Daniel Clowes
- Lloyd Dangle
- Gris Grimly
- Ryan Claytor
- Louis Gonzales
- Silver (he's the guy that draws Kim Possible - he gave me a Naked Mole Rat with Mickey Ears!)

I have to remember to bring my sketchpad to the next show - it sucks that the San Diego show is the same weekend as DL's 50th...
