La Mole Comic Con

Our first non-English speaking con, but intuitive translators and organized facilitators made the undertaking nearly effortless. We were met at the airport, then whisked away to the hotel for a good night's sleep. The next morning we were treated to a tour of Teotihuacan followed by a quick, private visit to the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. Three days of "con", great food and drink, plus Lucha Libre on Sunday. Home of my "ant-sesters", as Paolo called them when he was five. It was great! Thank you everyone...

"Pops"

I'll let Paolo explain the process from concept to coloring, but I'm his inker (and proud dad)
