Strange title? Well, not so much if you speak French and have a child or know someone who has a child. This is how kids count down to exciting events in their lives. Dodo is a diminutive of dormir which means sleep. So in essence I’m saying there are four bedtimes left before something big. But what?

Comic-Con of course! It starts Friday and I’m getting that giddy feeling I used to get as a child when my birthday or Christmas was close and I knew I was gonna get presents. Presents still rock, but I don’t get so excited as to make myself sick anymore for them.

This weekend I finished my advance work in anticipation of not being able to get any work done while I’m at Comic-Con. Last year I didn’t do any advance work because I was four weeks ahead on Funnies and I had plenty of energy for mash-ups. I never did build back to a four week advance and this year I didn’t want to drop to only a two week lead for the Funnies so I needed to make sure I took steps so as not to lose any more ground. Feels good. When I posted about it on Facebook, Frank responded that someday I would have a table at Comic-Con whichgot  a lot of “Likes”. It was nice to see that my friends believe in me making it someday. I’m not convinced yet…On the one hand, I don’t have enough regular visitors that I feel it’s worth the expense. On the other hand, it would be a good way to get the word out there. We’ll see how I feel next year.

Next week will probably feature some reactions about Comic-Con. For now, I’ve got nothin’. Have a good week y’all!

It’s Labour Day! I hope everybody had a good one! I originally intended to finish up an extra strip in anticipation of Montreal Comic-Con the weekend after next. However, I was out until 2am playing board games at Fab’s (I finished with a record of 2-3 for the overall lead, YAY me!) and spent a large part of the day napping on the couch. Somehow it feels like a fitting tribute for Labour Day.

We’re all really looking forward to Comic Con. One of the big attractions was the prospect of meeting Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia from the original Star Wars trilogy). Sadly, she had to cancel though so there’s no knockout guest for me this year. Still, with all the panels to attend, vendor booths to explore and costumes to see it should be a great time. I should be pulling out my Flint costume again this year. I wasn’t planning on it, but Fab is going with a GI Joe theme for a costume this year, so I’ll team up with him. On Sunday we’ll be going as Bill and Ted from Bogus Journey as I finally fulfilled a ten year dream by making a smiley face vest like Keanu Reeves wore in the movie.

So the chipmunk is out of the bag. The next big storyline deals with Zoë finally remembering about Skitter after completely forgetting about him all summer since getting her cast taken off. So far it’s looking like it’ll carry through until mid-November at least.

I didn’t get as much work done on the crossover this summer as I would have liked. Maybe after Comic Con when we all settle back into our work routines I’ll be more up to working on it. Spending time with my friends during my extra days off was much more tempting.

I keep meaning to come up with a feature for Fridays. Still haven’t thought up of what I want to do. Any suggestions?

That’s all for this week. Have a good one, y’all!
