We are nearing the time when badges will go on sale for this year's Comic-Con International. This means we are also nearing the time when badges will be sold-out for this year's Comic-Con International. The time between the first of these moments and the second might well be less than the time it takes to warm a Hot Pocket in the microwave. In any case, I want to suggest that you not (repeat: NOT) rely on this blog to tell you when the first will occur. You can find out by keeping a careful watch on the Comic-Con website.
And while you're over there, remember that there are still badges available for this year's WonderCon, which occurs in Anaheim from March 31 through April 2. I am a guest and I will be — surprise, surprise — hosting a number of panels there including one on Jack Kirby, an April Fools Day edition of Quick Draw!, and a Cartoon Voices panel. WonderCon is always my second-favorite convention of the year.
