A few weeks back at Detroit Fanfare I painted some more sketch cards. Here’s a couple of old pals I whipped up:
Last weekend, while attending Detroit Fanfare, I sketched a few of the people walking around or sitting near the Ellie On Planet X table. Here’s a few pages. Chewie and the Thing weren’t in attendance, but the armadillo was!
The amazing Azucena Nava-Moreno, who also happens to be my super-talented girlfriend, claims she found this Ellie on Planet X Halloween mask that dates back to the early 70’s on ebay!
It’s just like one I wore when my sis and I went Trick or Treatin’ as kids!
Here’s four things to tell you today:
1) It’s been a crazy couple of weeks here at Mission Control, so today’s installment of Ellie’s adventures won’t be showing up until Friday morning. Make sure you come back and check it out!
2) I’ll be appearing at Detroit Fanfare this weekend at the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn, MI.
I’ll be there on Saturday and Sunday for sure, and possibly Friday if my schedule permits. I’ll have a bit of Ellie swag with me for sale too. Hope to see you there!
3) Those of you who got weird Twitter messages from me, sorry about that! It appears we were hacked! I think our top I.T. guys have got it back under control.
And 4) Since there’s no comic today I thought I’d share this drawing from my sketchbook. My mom told me this story not long ago. It seems that when she was young, she remembered a strange old man who came into her yard, took one of the family chickens and drank its blood! Super creepy, I know! This is how I pictured it.

Here’s a drawing from the corners of my sketchbook that just might be who Ellie is referring to in the panel below. Click on the bottom pic to go to the original comic.
I was cleaning out a room and ran across these pics of some wall hangings I did years ago for the Saginaw Public Library in Saginaw, Michigan. I should stop in there and see if they still have them up. Anybody out there know?
