I haven’t been able to do any live conventions since the pandemic started, but I’m going to be doing a virtual one on May 15! EmCon is an anime and comic convention at the East Meadow Library in NY. I’ll be talking about what it’s like to draw and write comics and show off some examples.
It should be a lot of fun and anyone can register, whether you live in the area or not!
For more information visit the EmCon Facebook page, or go to their website to Register.

BRAND NEW STORY: “’Tis the Season to be Freezin’” Veronica is hosting her Annual Christmas Sleepover Party at Lodge Mansion with her friends including Betty, Toni, Ginger and others when the heat goes out!
