What can I say about this year’s Comic-Con? Aside from it being the 15th year in a row at Paul’s Cool Jerk table and us being in the best of health, it was business as usual. While we didn’t offer any new books this year, we did offer limited edition enamel pins each with customized… Continue Reading →
The biggest event of the San Diego summer is here again. I failed to do a round up last year, I felt it my duty to get back on the horse and compile a list of places to eat. While comic-con is the convention event of the year, consider this a list that can apply… Continue Reading →
San Diego Comic-Con 2016 is finally over and quite honestly, we’re not sad to see it go. If you were one of hundreds of people who stopped by the table to say ‘hi’ and buy a book or shirt, you likely got a story about Paul’s current medical condition. He has a kidney stone but it’s… Continue Reading →
By now I would have posted my top choices of where to eat downtown during this year’s comic-con. But you know what? I’ve been hella busy over at Zagat. More importantly, Paul and I pumped out a new comic book that we finished TWO WEEKS ago and we just received the order today. How’s that… Continue Reading →

Comic-con banners are up again throughout downtown San Diego. Aside from which panels to attend and what to limited edition collectors items to buy, the question when your stomach starts rumbling is where to eat. Instead of resigning to the overpriced, unappealing meals at the convention center, there are a lot of eateries downtown worth… Continue Reading →
There was no defining moment or image to this year’s comic-con. There were no extraordinary costumes that I hadn’t seen before. Many vendors had the same thing and even the theme of comic-con was a menagerie of different pop culture touchstones. In previous years I had seen zombies make a big play, Adventure Time was… Continue Reading →
Comic-Con has rolled into San Diego again. Sure to dominate the talk of town for the next few days are movie news, celebrity sightings and the length of the line to get into Hall H. But for many, especially when the hunger pangs hit, the utmost important thing is where to eat downtown. As with… Continue Reading →
Before I get into where to eat for this year’s comic-con, I like to do a slow buildup instead “BAM! Here’s where to eat when you’re downtown.” I thought it would be fun to revisit my most memorable moments over the last five years. Many are photos but some include celebrity run-ins. Back in 2005,… Continue Reading →
