SCENE: A male police officer is talking to a woman.

CAPTION: Public Service
Message from the Federal Bureau of Improbable Sex

Escaped super villain Captain Bigamist has been seen in your area! (He’s probably in your house right now!)

He’s preposterously handsome--and dangerous! Remember, if you see him...
don’t marry him!

COP: Have you married anyone suspicious lately?

WOMAN: Hmm...Let me think.

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.
