Update: Fixed some of the image links and stuff

And by con, of course I mean the weekend of having cool people tell me they like what I do!

So I'll start by saying thanks to Connecticon for inviting the Hiveworks family to attend the convention. I had a great time, and I wanted to share with you the pictures I took of all the great people who came to see me!

Not pictured are some terrific people whom I either did or didn't meet. A lot of them were fellow cartoonists such as Dave Lumsdon, Phil Kahn, Kelly Turnbull, and more terrific people who, if I haven't named you, I assure you that I love you guys. Also to any of the fans whom I forgot to get a picture with, I'm also sorry about that! I was either too busy or too forgetful. But you're in my heart forever (in the form of grease from Chikky Nuggz I will eat while thinking of you).

Anyone I didn't mention, and you know who you are, you made this convention one of the best experiences of my life, and I hope to have many more like it.

Day one started great, except I forgot to show my teeth. I never took a ton of pictures of myself before, so I never really cared that my mouth hardly opens enough to show off my teeth. So I swear, I do have teeth!

I totally, totally do.
