Check out a few photos from
Bellingham Comicon. It's a great little show, that I highly recommend.
Between caught up chatting with great artists like Batman and Robin artist Mick Gray, and Aaron Lopresti of Wonder Woman fame, and listening to legendary artist Rick Hoberg tell stories about his years in the comic business
I kind of dropped the ball on the whole taking lots of pictures thing. I do want to see all of your photos from the show, so if you have some good stuff, come show them off at the
Comic Book Swap Meet Facebook group. That along with the
Comic Book Swap Meet page is our official
www.thestevestrout.com Facebook connection. Go join and like both!

I also had the opportunity to chat with a great Canadian actor named Mike Roberds, who's appeared in everything from the Will Ferrell movie
Elf, to playing Uncle Fester on the
New Addams Family that aired in the 90's. I thought it was super cool that he appeared on the "Yellow Fever" episode of
Supernatural in season 4!!! We plan to keep in touch, so we'll probably hear more about Mr. Roberds. For now, give him a follow on Twitter:
@MikeRoberds
I have to personally thank the producers of the
Bellingham Comicon (specifically Eric Burris) for inviting me to the show. It meant a lot that you reached out top us at
www.thestevestrout.com, and I look forward to seeing you again next year!
