I don’t have much time to post about it right now, but my favorite comic book artist, Michael Turner, died yesterday night at the young age of 37. It’s really hard for it to sink in - he was so young, so talented, and such a great guy, surrounded by a bunch of great people. Going to the comic book convention won’t be the same today, especially since his booth will be sadly empty.

I’ll write more about my favorite memories of him later…

Today I’ll be going to the Wizard World Comic Book Convention, like I do every year. I’ll be sure to bring back reports and pictures of this terrific orgy of comic book goodness.

Check out my tweets on the side, since I’ll be mini-blogging from the show.

Ben’s been sick for the last couple days. Not sure when it started - he was feverish last week but nothing happened, but then on Sunday he had a bit of a cough. Yesterday he was just miserable - coughing, sneezing and sniffling. He still hasn’t learned how to blow his nose yet, so we had to be on-hand to wipe his nose for him. In the late afternoon he was just a pitiful lump of sick baby - he just sat in my lap for the rest of the night, whimpering and not wanting to move.

He didn’t want to get off the couch last night so we just slept there, and woke up several times. I got more sleep than I did on Sunday night, but he was still a bit fussy this morning. I debated on taking a day off today to take care of him, but Dave was off of work anyway, so he took him to the grandparents.

Here he is holding his favorite Kabuki Scarab panda:

Poor little guy!
