Penguicon 5.0: Day 2, Post Nadir Thursday April 26, 2007
For me, the Convention Nadir really splits Day Two into two pieces. Around 8:00pm I DID set my table up again, and sat there for about 15 minutes at the bottom of Convention Nadir. "Why am I here? Am I going to be able to pay the bills doing this?… Read more
Penguicon, Day 0 Friday April 21, 2006
My flight to Detroit was very educational. I talked at length with the guy sitting next to me, who packed a Harley bag, and wore a Harley hat and a Harley shirt. We discussed Subchapter S incorporation, tax-sheltered retirement funding, and profit margins. I thought my margins were pretty good.… Read more

I'm a McDonald's fan. I think it has to do with the fact that when I was a kid, we ate out a lot, and although Hardees was pretty good, McDonald's had a playground. So that's where I wanted to go, and what you eat in your formative years has… Read more

Comic-Con: Day 5 Monday July 24, 2006
So the Blank Label Comics team is sitting in a restaurant with Eisner Award-winner Scott Kurtz, and the appetizers show up. Kurtz and Willis have pot-stickers in front of them, and the rest of us are just shooting the bull eating our plates of nothing patiently. Willis looks down at… Read more
Event Report: Free Comic Book Day 2008 Sunday May 4, 2008
Free Comic Book Day at Dragons Keep is always fun, and this year we had a great ensemble of talent. Chad, Mandy, Kevin, JJ, Dave and I had a good time talking, sketching, and committing commerce. Spider-Man himself dropped by for a bit (he even signed a few comics as… Read more
Happy New Year! Tuesday January 1, 2019
I survived 2018 and at the end of the ride there wasn’t even a kiosk selling “I survived 2018 and all I got was a t-shirt.” Happy New Year, everyone. I hope 2019 is good to you, but my hope is couched in counsel: 2019 can’t be good to you… Read more

It's been a nature-lovin' kind of weekend for me. On Friday a bat got into the building at work, and I got to dance with it, flapping my long, wool coat to chase it towards the lobby doors and freedom. And then Saturday morning there was a hawk in my… Read more

It's been a busy week. The best part about it was my trip to the allergist, during which some 72 holes were poked in me (I'm not making that number up... it's an exact figure) and we determined exactly what it is I'm allergic to. As I lay on the… Read more

For those of you inclined to celebrate the holiday, I'm pleased to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving. For those of you whose cultures do not celebrate the holiday, I'm going to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, too. On this day, Americans are wont to eat too much in celebration… Read more
Meet, Greet, and Eat Saturday December 23, 2006
Sandra and I had a great time last night at TGI Friday's. We never did get an accurate head-count, but as far as we were able to recall there were about 25 Schlockers in attendance. I sketched in books and on comic-book backer boards for a couple of hours straight,… Read more

I guess now would be as good a time as any to report on the state of my diet. I'm up a pound (or so), but feeling much better. Basically, I had one good week of dieting during which I shed a few pounds of fat, and got lots of… Read more
10 Years Saturday June 12, 2010
As of today, June 12th, 2010, Schlock Mercenary has been on the web at some location or another for ten years. Every day, even. It is older than half of my children. It is older than my car. Depending on how you count, it's the longest I've ever held the… Read more
And now, more cheese Monday December 19, 2005
And now, more cheese Sunday, December 19th, 2005 A couple of Virginia Schlockers (and I think they may BE a "couple" in the significant sense) work on a dairy farm where "farmstead" cheeses are made. For the uninitiated, farmstead cheeses are "... cheeses made by hand on the farm with… Read more
