Greetings… July 22nd marked ten years of writing and contributing to this site!
(Here’s my first column, a review of the day’s happenings at Comic-Con.)

I’ve been lucky, first in meeting Heidi MacDonald some twenty-five years and gaining her friendship, and being smart enough to listen to her constructive criticism. I’ve made a few mistakes here, learned from them, and been very lucky to have met many amazing people who recognize me for what I write, and compliment me on what I’ve written.

I don’t write a lot. I’m not a journalist, I don’t have the energy or drive to report, and I don’t feel expert enough to critique or review comics. What I do best is try to be as much an oracle as Heidi is, to notice trends both inside and outside the comics industry, and offer warnings and strategies on how to succeed in a changing world. I am a comics evangelist, passionate about the medium, eager to find new readers and new content that excites and teaches and inspires! Yes, I’ve got some crazy ideas! Buy me a drink, and I’ll be happy to discuss anything!

So, in the past ten years, I’ve posted over 700 articles here. To celebrate and note the passage of time, here are some of what I think are my best. If you want to scroll through all 60 pages of my work, or just read my latest, click here. For even crazier stuff, check out my blog! Or my YouTube channel!

I don’t know what the next ten years will bring. Heck, I’m more concerned about the next 100 days. Whatever happens, I hope to meet you sometime in the future, where we can talk about how memes are the new editorial cartoons, and how “Woman Yelling at Cat” spawned a new generation of comics talent.

Here they are in no particular order!
