Weathercat Warning

This is my cat, Minerva, who is six years old now. She was a pound kitty, acquired when she was just a kitten a few weeks old.

Besides being an escape artist that would make Mister Miracle drool with envy (hence her reputation as the World's Sneakiest Cat), she has an uncanny knack for knowing when bad weather, such as an especially heavy rain or a thunderstorm, is approaching. Depending on the expected severity of the possible bad weather, she might hide in the bathroom behind the toilet, or creep under the bed.

Today, she suddenly started running around our home, her tail poofed out, yowling. I turned on the TV, and sure enough, there was a tornado watch for our area. I was really glad when a short time later, coinciding almost exactly with the arrival of a break in the weather, she calmed down and went to sleep.

Beats the heck out of the National Weather Service and all we have to do is feed her. So always pay attention to your local "Weathercat Warning". You'll be glad you did!

A Heart in New York (Comic-Con, that is...)

This weekend will be chock full of comics people, fans and pros alike, descending on New York City to attend this year's Comic Con from February 6-8 at the Jacob Javits Center. Glass House Graphics will be no exception.

As you can see from the photograph here (from a previous convention), Jinky (Banzai Girls) Coronado will be joined by Will (Serenity: Better Days) Conrad and Mike (Dark Avengers) Deodato.

They will be held in check---er, chaperoned by GHG Guru David (Hero Alliance) Campiti. They will be at the Glass House Graphics table in Artists Alley (table F9, next to Bob McLeod, past the DC comics booth(1541), near the entrance to the Alley).

While I won't be there to join in the fun, I did send a couple hundred pages of original art for everyone to look through and buy.

"What's in it?" you ask. For Will Conrad fans, some incredible pages from Serenity: Better Days, and some of his work from the Outsiders featuring the Batman to name a couple. For Jinky Coronado fans, some gorgeous pages from the hit series Banzai Girls, as well as a couple of pinups. Mike Deodato fans get a look at original art from Dark Avengers #1 along with oodles of other things you'll have to see to believe. I mean that. You'll have to go see it.

So go forth to the convention, meet the comics creators, and buy all the artwork at Glass House Graphics!

Please buy it--that box weighed over 20 pounds and I really don't want it sent back to me that heavy! :)
