I'm back from Phoenix! I had such a good time at the Amazing Arizona Comic Con. Jimmy runs such a good show. His staff is professional and attentive, and they really take care of their guests. It's my first time doing one of their shows, but I hope it won't be the last.
I met so many My Little Pony fans there, and thats one of the best parts of doing these shows. Drawing and talking to kids about something they like so much is just such a treat. On Sunday we did the "My Little Pony Power Hour" where I did more Pony sketches than I would have thought possible. And then I left that to go to the My Little Pony metope, where I took questions and talked about my work and the Ponyverse. I'd only intended to do that for half an hour, but I went almost twice that because it was so much fun.
I also got to hang out and chat with some comics creators, including Mat Nastos of Phineas and Ferb and also a fellow Kubie, which I did not know. We talked teachers and the school and careers and I wish I had been able to spend more time with him. I also got to talk with Herb Trimpe and his wife. Such a nice guy, and such a fun conversation. It's so weird to me when people I grew up reading are now people who treat me as a peer.
And big thanks to Robert Deans for making sure some cookies from Flying Pork Productions made it to me, too. I can't tell you how much I needed those!
Below are some photos from the fun that was the show. It was a great start to my 2015 convention season. And take notice, All The Other Shows, the bar has been raised.
