davemerrilljeez, here we are, the second Covid-19 May. Ontario's numbers spent the past month going up and now they're going back down again - just over 2K cases today, down from a lot of 3K and 4K days. Keep going down.
We both got our first shots. I'm team Moderna, Shain's team Pfizer. We don't get our second shots until the end of July, so we're dodging bullets until then.
The Anime North Online Stay At Home Convention is coming up May 28-30! I'm doing an Anime Hell and a panel about the anime of 1981. Well, okay, those things are in the can already. What I will be doing that weekend is participating in a zoom call panel about gatekeeping in anime fandom and my part will be explaining how in the old daze you had to know somebody to get anime, and if they felt like not copying it for you, well, you didn't get it.

We've been getting outside a bit more now that things are getting greener. Work's been a little busier. Heard from some friends who I hadn't heard from in a while and they're doing OK. Watching SUPER CUB and ODD TAXI and the monthly movie riffing from Frank Conniff and Trace Beaulieu.
We set up a Mister Kitty table at the virtual Canzine part of TCAF this year and unless I screwed up setting the page up, I sold out of two of my zines, which is enough to pay for the virtual table and then some. Still waiting to see how it all turns out, but that's definitely a positive sign, enough to make me think a little more seriously about making more comics sooner rather than later.
