Beautiful Balloons with Maggie Thompson - I Spoke of the "Final Three Booths"

I just realized I never specified the third of the last three booths I bought from on Sunday at the show. It was the booth of Kindly Steve Thompson (no relation), from whom I bought the Brenda Starr tumbler of the several Chicago Tribune-licensed water glasses released a few decades ago. That leaves me with the Gasoline Alley and the Broom Hilda glasses to go. But, if so, it means the Tribune released seven designs; that would be odd in more ways than one.

Nevertheless, Steve and I have never seen another design than the three I've mentioned plus Little Orphan Annie, Terry and the Pirates, and, um, two others. Um ... Well ... Smokey Stover? Barney Google? Guess who left her notes at home today.

Hi Maggie--
I missed you guys at the show. I dont think you had a booth because I looked! What a fun show.

I think my best deal this year was a copy of the collected Bone series. 40 bucks cover price and I got mine for $20. I've been waiting and it finally paid off. I was going to buy the $50 signed copy at CBLDF but opted to pay $20 and then just donate another 20 to the fund. This way they get to sell the book to someone else and I still got a bargain!

I got great sketches from David Mack (a kabuki character), J. Scott Campbell (mary jane watson), Adrian Alphona (Molly from Runaways) and a great Batman from Matt Wagner. Totally memorable! Just sad I didn't get to say hello to the CBG gang.

Hope everyone that went had as good an experience as I had!
