I really want to go to SDCC, but alas, I have to brag all my Fake success at my 20th High School reunion.

Also, until I'm invited as a super high-talented guest like RT, I'll steer clear. I'd hate to have everyone hear me utter "I can't believe I paid to see this", out loud.

Good luck to all! Many sales and fan maulings!

[Stephan Pastis]

I would go just to see Stephan Pastis

[Stephan Pastis]

I love Stephan with all my heart.

[J. C.]

man I wish I could go to this!

[Mike Peterson]

Didn't Pastis used to play mandolin for Pentangle?

[RandomGenius]

I prefer Stephan J. Cannell

[Lucas Turnbloom]

Who the hell is Stephan Pastis?

I hear he's the cartoonist pressuring the NCS to add a "Best Cartoonist Who Doesn't Like to Wear a Shirt While Drawing" Award for next year.
