My friend and fellow comic book creator Jason Rodriguez (editor of the Eisner-nominated Postcards: True Stories That Never Happened) drove cross-country from Arlington, VA to San Diego for this year's Comic-Con International. By my reckoning, he spent approximately $73,854 in gas on that little jaunt!

So I know he'd appreciate it if you'd be so kind as to check out his witty and insightful travelogue, in which he shares some of the experiences he had getting to meet and hang out and drink to excess with creators and comic enthusiasts around the country -- including, naturally, your and my favorite up-and-coming writer, Elton Pruitt!
