CAPTION: Dr. Hugo Mania and Prof. Mary Shrinkhead (AKA Major Ego and Captain Id) were as happy as two superheroes could be! But then they got married and soon they were facing their toughest challenge…raising a child!
MAJOR EGO: Let’s take Suzy with us on our crime patrol!
CAPTAIN ID: She can carry a laser cannon! We’ll call her Super Ego…the tiny tot of Freudian Justice!
SUZY: But I want to go to the beach!
PANEL TWO:
SCENE: SCENE: Scene shifts to family in bathing suits at the beach.
CAPTION: Holy Dr. Spock! What a dilemma! Pummeling criminals (until they admit their self-destructive tendencies) or spending "quality time" at the beach! What will they choose?
CAPTAIN ID: Well…I suppose we can fight crime here instead!
MAJOR EGO: Sure! Evil mutant surfers are bound to show up!
SUZY: Lord! I just pray I was adopted!

John Lustig at the San Diego Comic-Con
For the first time since 2019, I’m going to San Diego for Comic-Con International. This was a close-to-last-minute decision. Consequently I don’t have ties to any booth or Artist Alley table.
Without that it’ll be hard to meet up with fans. But I’m open to suggestions on good places to meet in that crowded con.
Better yet, if anyone reading this has a booth or table and is willing to host me for an hour or two during the week, let me know. Perhaps we can work something out.

OFFICER: Thanks for helping us re-enact the bank robbery, Ms. La Romp!
MS. LA ROMP: I hope it helps you catch the Stripteasing Bandit! Too many men are going to banks, hoping to get robbed...instead of paying to see my act!

SCENE: Man in a suit with a curvy woman in a low-cut cocktail dress and long, opera gloves. The man has one hand on her shoulder and is holding one of the woman's hands with his other hand. He's smiling and she looks---bored? Resentful? Miffed? Trapped? Some combo of all these things?
MAN: I don’t know what I’m talking about, but...I’ll bet I’m right!
WOMAN (thinking): So handsome, so strong...so stupid!
