So I decided that for once, I wouldn’t spend the whole con at my table, instead wandering around and looking at other folks comics and even attending panels now and then. It was neat. The best line I can recall from any panel is Dylan Meconis<\/a>, in her spotlight panel, suggesting that “the Hero’s Journey<\/a>” is the french fries of story structure.<\/p>\n

I was sharing my table with Becky and with Diane Riffe, who was their with her very first mini-comic, an adorable all-ages tribute to Diane’s dog Luna. Alas, Diane didn’t happen to be there when Joshin came by, so as far as I know she escaped unphotographed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
