I had the weekend of my life at the Eisner’s at San Diego Comic-Con. You know I’ve got this big line [for signings], I win an Eisner, and I’m doing a cool Bizarro commission, and someone’s paying me to do it. It’s crazy. I get to talk to all these amazing artists that are talking to me, [as if] I’m up here. Insane. And then I come home, and the first thing my wife says is, “Bo needs changing.”
