Blue Milk Special

There will be a very special Blue Milk Special event tomorrow, May 11th!

Leanne and I will be at the at the ANS Sci-Fi & Comic-Con in La Plata, Maryland where the Old Line Garrison will be honoring us as Friends of the 501st Legion!

Wow! This is something we are very excited about as we have made friends among the Empire City Garrison during New York Comic Con back in 2010 and have got to know many 501st Legion Blue Milk Special readers from all over the world. The Old Line Garrison is in our neighborhood and it’s a great feeling being a part of a geek community that put their hobby to use so it benefits those in need. From fundraising to simply putting a smile on someone’s face, it is a great cause to be associated with.

Obviously, we would truly appreciate the attendance of any supporters who can make it to the show. Leanne and I will also be part of a panel called “How to Make Your Own Comics”. The discussion is intended to cover topics that might be of interest to young creative people who are interested in getting into the comics business, or would like to self publish their work. I’m not sure how much I will get to share with the audience, so I expect I will end up putting a blog together at my professional website that goes into juicy detail.

Along with ourselves, guests at the ANS Sci-Fi & Comic-Con include Frank Cho and the 501st Legion’s Old Line Garrison. This is a small, single day show — Saturday only. Doors open at 10am and close at 3pm. Between ourselves and the Old Line Garrison we will ensure that there is a strong Star Wars presence at the show. Come on down and get a photo with Star Wars characters, or Leanne and myself. Get a sketch of your very own. Pick up a free glossy full color BMS promo card or two!

If you’re in the region and don’t have plans for Saturday then round up your friends, jump in a car and come see us. We’ll make sure you leave with something special! 🙂

Oh, and I made this little Motti strip the other day after contemplating what a great job Richard LeParmentier did in the role. It’s a sad loss for everyone who had never met him, including ourselves. This new strip is now part of our Blue Milk Special Death Star conference room scene parody. Click to see it full size.
