Ketchup

Saturday morning, I was scheduled for 10am reading that I was certain would be unattended. I’ve seen major names with an audience of just two or three people at that hour, especially after the Friday parties, but I played it honestly, arrived on time myself, and gave it fifteen minutes before packing it in. The guy in the room next to me, a magazine editor, was also skunked, so we shook hands and commiserated briefly, and then Diana and I returned to the dealer room to hunt more books.

We weren’t there long before we ran into the hilarious and energetic Frank Wu, who previously I’d known only online, and his new fiancee Brianna. Congrats, guys! Frank and I did a piece together in Fantastic Stories #25. I wrote the story. He did the perfect illustration. And he’d been good enough to let me use the artwork for “Meme” on my web site, where the story is now posted for free.

Frank, being Frank, a visual guy, suggested that simply posing for a photo was silly. Instead, here you have the Intergalactic Space Ninjas. Kiiiiyah!!!!
