I have a flurry of e-mails from people asking me questions about COVID. Do not ask me questions about COVID. I am not a doctor. I'm a guy who works on the Groo the Wanderer comic books. Could there be a profession — apart from whatever the hell it is Joe Rogan does — that makes one less qualified to give out medical advice? This is like if you need your appendix taken out and you go to Jiffy Lube and have them do it there.
I do know this much: In this world, you need to have a good doctor — someone you admit knows way more about medicine than you do and someone you trust. That doesn't mean trusting them blindly. Doctors can be wrong. You just need to trust them more than you trust what you read on The Internet.
In the meantime, there is one COVID-related question I feel qualified to answer: "When are you [meaning m.e.] going to appear again at a comic convention?" Real simple: When I feel it's safe. I've told the folks at WonderCon Anaheim that I'll be there April 1-3 if I feel it's safe…and I'll decide that closer to those dates. As I've said before here, I've found that the wisest thing for me is to not believe any predictions about when it will be over.
Even experts, let's remember, can be wrong. At this very moment, the AccuWeather app is telling me there's zero chance of precipitation in my area. And it's raining outside.
