Always fun, always exhausting. As great as it is to meet my fans, it’s equally fun to change roles and become one myself. Last year I made a point of meeting David Petersen, the creator of the comic book series “Mouse Guard”. I was blown away by the level of detail Petersen puts into his work. It reminds me of the “Gnome” books I read as a kid. Any man who creates an entire world gets my respect and “Mouse Guard” is at the top of my list. It was humbling, to say the least, when I finally met the man and he had no idea who I was. Oh well. This year I figured it’d be different, maybe he Googled me or something. Nope. This year he didn’t even remember me from last year. Maybe it’s what I need after hours of signing books and soaking up praise. Did I mention that he asked if I actually paid for the book he was autographing to me? David Petersen: decongestant for a swelled head.
