Great news, I'm going back to the San Diego Comic-Con, and I've got all sorts of great activities set up. It all goes down July 23-27 (Wednesday's the Preview night, then Thurs-Sunday are full days). For more information, please visit http://comic-con.org/
Number 1, I'll have my usual booth, #1537, but what's really wonderful about this year is that we've named the whole row "Animation Alley", because we've created a little neighborhood there. In other words, if you have any love of animation, you MUST check out Animation Alley!
We've got Animation Magazine, ASIFA-Hollywood, Ken Mora and Jim Lujan at the BellaFe Films table, and of course, the great Spike & Mike's Sick and Twisted Animation booth - and I must say that this corner of the convention center gets crazier and crazier every year. We have beauty contests, push-up contests, ball fights and general mayhem.

Number 2, I'll host my Bill Plympton panel on Thursday, July 24, noon to 1 pm in Room 23ABC. This is where I'll screen some new clips from "CHEATIN'" (it just won the Prix du Jury at the prestigious Annecy Animation Festival), plus a brand-new clip from "REVENGEANCE", my new co-production with the great Jim Lujan. Plus we'll be making a major announcement about "CHEATIN'" being released in theaters, so you won't want to miss it! And if that's not enough, I'll have a sneak peek of my brand new short film, "Footprints"!
Number 3, I'll be showing my animated short "Drunker Than a Skunk" as part of the Comic-Con Independent Film Festival on Friday, July 25 at 11:35 am in Hall 2 at the Marriott Marquis and Marina, which is 1 building north of the main convention center. It's a hilarious story about a small cowboy town that torments the local drunk, and it's all animated in ballpoint pen drawings.
So please come to my Comic-Con panel and get a free sketch - or stop by the booth any time and say "Hello". This year we're going to be offering a ton of original animation drawings at cut-rate prices, because I'm trying to make some space in my studio.
See you at the Con!
