This Weekend! I'm in Toronto! (Probably)

in News by DaveKellett

I'm making my first-ever trip to Toronto for the Toronto Comics Arts Festival (TCAF), this weekend! It's a free show, and everyone tells me it's the greatest show ever...so you have no excuse! Come on out!

I'll have all the books, all the t-shirts, and original art (e-mail me if you have a specific one you want brought). And I'll of course be giving out free sketches and lasting friendship to one and all!

...one caveat: This past weekend, I threw out my back *cough* current storyline *cough*. So there's a tiny chance I won't be boarding that plane. I'll know for sure by Friday: Fingers crossed!

Dude, been there. I can not only sympathize, I can empathize. Only toothaches and migraine headaches compare to a thrown back for a guy. Got mine dinged up when I was in a chopper crash. As I age, it goes out easier and takes longer to get better.

Heat and rest (and the odd whiskey) seem to help the most. Pain meds only hide the pain and you can re-injure yourself when you feel too good too soon.

Two autobiographical strips in a week? Clearly you tempted the Comic Fates[*] with your first comment.

Dave - ice your lower back real good, take one billion g of ibuprofen. you'll be good. I live on that stuff. It's a boomer's best friend. Toronto is awesome.

In Response to abracadabra (#59052):

oh lordy, don't talk about migraines. I just spent most of the day not being able to talk straight, or feel part of my hand, or see out of one eye, or a few other things.

I wish it was a sign of getting old, man.
