Back in March, Jean Schulz and I made a trip to Athens, Greece to attend the Comicdom comic festival and I struck up a special, artistic friendship with Kostas Kiriakakis. In my opinion a great, yet undiscovered, comic book talent. The week prior to Comic con in San Diego we talked Kostas into participating in the “cartoonist in residence” program at the Schulz Museum. I was sitting on his left (right in the photo) to ease his nervousness about talking in front of the small crowd of comic fans (not pictured) that gathered to see pages from his portfolio. Anyway, I just wanted to give a big blog “hello” to Kosta and Lida. We really miss you both!
