SPX photos for Saturday

It was good to see old friends and to make some new ones today.

Small Press Expo today in Rockville; Batman day at local comics stores

https://www.smallpressexpo.com/ for details - I'll be there and so will a bunch of local cartoonists such as DC Conspiracy, Sarah Boxer, Danielle Corsetto and more.

Batman Day comics are available at Beyond Comics and Third Eye and probably other places.
