Proving that some convention organizers never learn, I will again be a Special Guest (or maybe it's just a Guest) at this year's WonderCon in San Francisco, April 1-3. For those of you who can't wait 'til or get tickets for Comic-Con…and those who are scared at the prospect of being in a hall with that many people dressed as Princess Leia…WonderCon provides a great alternative. Operated by the same folks who bring you that rogue nation down in San Diego every year, WonderCon is large enough to have something for everyone but small enough that maybe you could see all of it in a day.
It is also not sold-out and if you need a hotel room, they're not that difficult to book. (Another plus: WonderCon is downtown at the Moscone Center and there are a lot of great restaurants and museums and fun Frisco-type things to do around.) I always have a great time at these. Click on the link in the previous paragraph to find out how you can have an equally great time.
I will be moderating six panels at this fine event, including one on Writing for Animation, one on the history of WonderCon, one on what it was like to break into comics in the seventies and one in which Sergio Aragonés and I will exchange pointless banter and vow that a new Groo mini-series will be out soon. Not only will you not want to miss any of these panels but I won't want to miss any of them.
And while I've got you here: The Monday after the convention, I will be again teaching a course in How to Do Cartoon Voices at a fine studio/school up there called Voice One. Details on how to sign up may be found here. That's April 4th and it's always a lot of fun and — dare I say? — informative.
