Would you believe it? I won Best Pickle in the first annual Sloppy Mama’s BBQ homemade pickle contest at their Pickle Party. I entered two types of pickles inspired by my Curls comic strip: dill and watermelon rind, and the dill was dill-licious enough to win first place. It was so great — they even had pickle ice cream! They asked me to be a contestant next year to defend my title, so look for more pickle news in 2026!

Recap: Tidewater Comicon 2025

We are back from Tidewater Comicon in Virginia Beach! Curls Studio had a great time and enjoyed catching up with fellow exhibitors. Our booth was next to Ben Bishop, who we first met in 2008 at our very first New York Comic Con. It was great to reminisce with him and also say hello to the Kids Love Comics crew and even enjoy their programming (see pencil photo that matches my nail polish choices perfectly).

We did get to spend a short amount of time at the beach before the show on both days — even after waking up early to enjoy that experience it was definitely HOT! It’s always a cool opportunity to sell comics within walking distance to the Atlantic Ocean.

As with shows they must go on and roll with the punches — one of the main guests Alan Tudyk could not appear due to plane flight issues with American Airlines. I didn’t see any of the celebrities, but did get to walk around a bit to see the show floor. Big thanks to the crew and organizers of Tidewater Comicon — we hope to be back in the future.
