A little while ago I may have mentioned Friends With Boys because it is an awesome comic that has now come out in honest to goodness touch-able form. Really, you can buy it from bookstores (if any have managed to survive around you) and hold it’s wood pulpiness in your hands. I did. One of the coolest things about Friends …
So, I went to Megacon a few weeks back (or more – I’m so bad at time now a days) and I ran into two great people named Tara and Paul Abbamondi. They probably didn’t realize that I thought they were so great, ’cause I’m not good at getting that out there, but I was charmed by their comics and …
