   Hey Mr. B.   
      
   We talked several years ago about you coming out for Comic Con. If you   
   do I'll help you out. I may have an extra room here next year also.   
      
   This year Matt Groening made only one signing appearance but on Sunday   
   at his Bongo Comics Booth he was signing and doing a small sketch for   
   everyone who bought a $20 compilation of the Simpsons comics. I was at   
   the booth when he met artist Nina Matsumoto for the first time. She   
   pencilled last years Simpsons halloween issue and won an Eisner Award   
   for it. He had her do me a sketch from her cast of Japanese characters.   
   Google her and look at her work it's very creative. I did see Matt with   
   his get a sketch business cards. He hands these out to deserving people   
   when he runs out of time. You mail the card to FOX and he sends a   
   sketch. It took him 2 years to do one that way for me but it was well   
   worth the wait.   
      
   I have probably 10 sketches from Matt over the years but two I got at   
   Comic Con back in 1996 don't fit in my albums and I have never figured   
   out what to do with them, They are 9"X17" posters from Bongo Comics   
   featuring the family on a plate being held up by Radioactive Man getting   
   a hot foot from Crusty. One has a large sketch of Marge dated 7-7-1996   
   and the other of Maggie 7-7-1996. The posters weren't selling so he   
   signed every one that people bought (no choice of character). If you   
   want I can send pics of them and we can talk.
