Click HERE to listen on Spotify!
Show notes: In this episode I catch you upon my weekend at the Memphis Comic Expo at the Memphis Sports & Event Center at the fairgrounds. I give you my thoughts on this year’s MCX (aka “DonnieCon“), and share an interview I did there with one our favorite artists- Mike Norton.
It was great catching up with Norton and finding out more about his “Battlepug” Kickstarter campaign, “Krypto: The Last Dog Of Krypton” comic series for DC Comics, and “Revival” TV series on SyFy.
Thanks to Donnie, Meghan, and their staff for having me back out for this year’s Memphis Comic Expo.
And speaking of Memphis conventions, this episode is packed full of info on upcoming events like the MSCA “Drawn Of The Dead” art show, monthly dinner gatherings at Garibaldi’s Pizza, Rogue’s Gallery Daughters Of Dorkness pop-up shop, updates on our “The Good, The Bad, And The Sketchy” zine, and go over fall cons and art events around the M-town like the Memphis Comic and Fantasy Convention, Monster Market, Memphis Comic Con In The Park, Memphis Oddity & Curiosity Market, River Arts Fest, Memphis Library Teen Arts Fest, Pink Palace Museum Crafts Fair, Memphis Japan Fest, Covington Comic Con, and the Memphis Zine Fest.
Our next MSCA Monthly Dinner Gathering is Tuesday, October 7th from 6-8pm at the U of M at Garibaldi’s Pizza off Walker Avenue. We should be putting together the latest issue of our “The Good, The Bad, and the Sketchy” luck themed zine…fingers crossed!
Hope you can make it out to any or all of these events. “Stay tooned” for more details on other events coming up around the holidays and after the first of the year!

I really enjoyed getting to meet voice actress Nika Futterman who voices Asajj Ventress on the Star Wars Clone wars cartoons.
Books from Mike Norton, including a Krypto sketch!
