§ Milton Griepp seeks panelists for two NYCC panels:
Call for NYCC Panelists!!
For two panels on Friday–on manga retailing and Seuling New York shows.
We’re rounding out our panels on the two topics above, both of which will take place around mid-day on Friday, April 18th at New York Comic Con. If you’re a retailer attending the show that’s willing to share your experience in manga retailing; or were a dealer, guest, or otherwise involved in the Phil Seuling New York shows that has some good Phil stories, please contact Milton at [email protected] asap. Also, if you have photos taken at one of Phil’s New York shows, especially of Phil, please scan and e-mail. Thanks!
§ Kelly Sue DeConnick seeks babies:
Is anyone else taking babies or kids to San Diego? Our nanny really wants to come with us — which would be great — but we’re trying figure out if it’s financially plausible. If she could sit for more kids than just Henry while she’s there, it would help. Anyone…?

They have… a nanny?
Clearly, I work in the wrong comics industry.
I would imagine it would be very difficult to be two working parents of a young baby without SOME help.
No, Jamie, I’m pretty sure they have two au pairs that dress up in french maid outfits (Kelly Sue likes that) and that they pay them in diamonds.
Or possibly back-issues.
I hear they even can afford…cable tv.
Posh bastards.
Clearly, I’m working in the wrong industry, too.
Wait, wait, wait – cable TV and a nanny? This is insane.
I pay our babysitter in deeds to oil fields and titles of nobility and Brazilian cattle ranches… THAT’S the comics industry I work in!
Brian, I am interested in your deeds and would like to subscribe to your trade publications.
(y’know, a good nanny is hard to find. I say bring her.)
I’ll babysit for those back issues please.
Please.
Clearly there’s too much money floating around in comics. NOW you know why comic books are so expensive – you’re paying for… nannies for Pete’s sake.
A nanny? Cable TV?
What next?
A car?
Internet Access?
FOOD?
