Knuffle Bunny is one of the creations of Mo Willems, a best-selling author and illustrator for children, and as Rita Braver discovered, very much a man of the world.
Shelton Drum's original comic art exhibit in Southern VA
"Heroes Aren't Hard to Find: The Comic Art Collection of Shelton Drum" exhibit at the William King Museum, Abingdon, VA, is absolutely fantastic, especially for someone around age 50-60. Shelton bought the art that we all would have, especially Spider-Man pages. Here's a set of pictures I snapped quickly, which don't do the art justice.
Why mention this on ComicsDC? Because local hero Richard Thompson is represented with two Cul de Sac strips.

Eric's Awesome Con Pics, a guest post
My name is Eric and I have been shooting amateur photography for over six years off and on. I normally shoot up in Columbia Height, DC is a private studio (really really small). I completely agree with the the creator of Awesome Con that the DC area has been under served by comic book conventions so in my own little way I hope this support the hometown convention.
I am hoping to make contact with the various convention cosplay attendees so that I can email back their image(s). I snapped approximately 1200 images at the convention and now I am editing it down to one image per cosplayer to post to DeviantArt and Flickr. If you are a cosplayer that would like their respective image emailed to them (or really anything else people would like to communicate about such as Photoshop talk or setting up a shoot) then the best way to contact me is through my email (EricPhotoNow@Yahoo.com).
Below were Friday's Cosplayers (better quality images are at my DeviantArt site).

Puck, Judge and The Wasp cartoons from local bookstore owner
Andy Moursund, a longtime bookstore owner in the DC area, has Puck, Judge, The Wasp, 1877 - 1910, a set of excellent scans on Flickr of cartoons from the magazines. The images are seriously racist, anti-immigrant and very well done.
