I Spoke of the "Final Three Booths"
Posted by maggie
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!
