An ongoing feature in which I recommend the work and websites of people who buy me lunch. Today’s entry: Joan Hilty! Joan Hilty‘s been in comics since the bad old days when I worked in the field. Sexism, stupidity, superheroes on steroids – she’s seen it all. But unlike me, Joan’s not a quitter. Not only is [...] Remember when I wrote about Stephen Wells? Well I finally had lunch with him last week. Vegan, of course – Stephen is the Executive Director of the Animal Legal Defense Fund.

Today’s entry: Amandeep Jawa! Amandeep Jawa says he’s “gregarious,” which I learned, in the few hours I got to know him, is an understatement.

Just like human abuse, [...] A new feature in which I recommend the work and websites of people who buy me dinner. Today’s entry: Mike Caprio! Mike Caprio is the Bon Vivant of Brooklyn.

Then as [...] A new feature in which I recommend the work and websites of people who buy me dinner. Today’s entry: Celia Bullwinkel! My pal Celia draws good.
