I heard “the big wig” somewhere and this popped in my head. Mort #393, almost at 400!

OKAY, some news. I am still recovering from C2E2. At some point beforehand I did something to my leg and standing around on that showroom floor concrete, and trying to dodge slow walking crowds to get from my table to the bathroom and back, and lugging stuff around – that didn’t help. So this week I’d walk a half block and my leg would start to sting, feeling like it was pulled out of the socket from the hip, and then spread to an ankle that felt like it was sprained, and then to my knee. Ouch.

What on earth does any of that mean? For a cartoonist? Well, parts of the week and weekend went by where I couldn’t do anything, for myself or anyone else. This past weekend I ended up struggling to figure out a way to be comfortable lying still and my leg still hurting. I did draw today’s and this coming Wednesday’s comic strip, and had other ideas I was going to work on, but by the time I got to the “i’m going to make more comic strips” phase, sitting and drawing or doing anything else seemed impossible. Geez, what happened?

Also, I mailed out the first batch of Kickstarter pledges last week. I intended to send them all out but C2E2 and then the leg thing impeded that, as I ended up not having enough envelopes to send everything at once. I will have envelopes soon to mail out the rest of the packages by the end of the week.
