Over-Expo'ed.
"You inspired this" are, to me, the most flattering words in Galactic Standard." Check out this riff on my Narbonic story, "Just Think."
I've come back from the Comic Expo in Bristol.
Much fun. Conversations with the boyish, upbeat Geoff Johns and the grizzled yet charming Howard Chaykin, the self-effacing Dave Gibbons and many more. I'm finally learning to relax around people whose byline I've been reading for years. It was especially super-great to talk to Roy Thomas about Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Captain Carrot.
Not to say that every moment was totally seized. I spent some down-time reading books, not comics, and only some of the purchases I made in the indie aisle really made it with me. But on balance, good times.
Congratulations to Batton Lash, an old acquaintance and a class act, for his win of The Eagle Award for "Favourite Web-Based Comic." (I gotta say, I'm intrigued by this British convention of "Favourite" rather than "Best." Overly modest? More of that British understatement? Perhaps.)

"Best" is so subjective, but pretends to be objective; "Favourite" has no qualms about the fact that it's based on opinion.
And how are we supposed to know what you inspired without a subscription? Can you give more details for those of us without disposable income to spend on online comics? :-p
