Just in case you didn't know what FCBD is about, here the website that tells all!

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY!

It's happening May 3rd. That's this Saturday!

This year I'll be at Big B Comics in Hamilton, Ontario with Eric Kim (Love as a Foreign Language) from noon until they kick us out. This will be our first time being in Hamilton and we both look forward to seeing you there!

Here's a message from Eric:

"Hi there! I'm a single young Caprico--wait. Wrong blog.

I kid! I kid. I'm happy to make a virtual introduction to all of you on this intermanet. I've got a blog up at http://doublepeace.blogspot.com if you'd like to check it out, and my own website is http://www.inkskratch.com.

I tell you all confidentially that me and Howard are working on secret projects together. S-E-C-R-E-T.

But anyways, if you're in Hamilton or Toronto, feel free to come on out and meet us! Me and Howard will be at Free Comic Book Day at Big B Comics in Hamilton (1045 Upper James St., Hamilton ON, L9A 3A6), and we might also be stopping by the Beguiling (601 Markham Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M6G 2L7). Free comic book day is a fun day! You should join us and also get FREE SHWAG.

Anyways, I hope to see you all there. ALL OF YOU.

Ciao! :D"
