- I packed my bags last night pre-flight. Zero-hour: 9:00am. Rocket over to Rocketship Entertainment’s Booth #2707 to find New York Times bestselling cartoonist Nick Deluk, where he’ll be doing free sketches throughout the con. And I think it’s gonna be a long, long time…
I’ll be at #SDCC again this year with @RocketshipEnt! Stay tuned for details, but I’ll surely be doing free sketches at their booth.
