I had a great time with these amazing authors and independent booksellers at the Scholastic dinner at the 2020 Winter Institute in Baltimore, Maryland.

While I was in Baltimore, at the advice of a bookseller friend, I stopped to visit the stunning Peabody Library ad Johns Hopkins.

And a visit to Edgar Allen Poe’s grave, decorated with roses, a love letter and cigarette butts in a jar.

Walking through this felt like Alice in Wonderland meets the Wizard of Oz.

"Hourly Comic" ended up on my radar this year even though it's been around for over a decade. The rules are that you draw a comic for each hour you are awake that day. It was a strange day for me, I was vacationing in California at the time with a lot of time in the car, but I did my best to record what I could. It was a magical day and a great one to use to draw a comic!
