Great art Maichan. I totally dropped the ball on getting a group shot of the Dojo members. Maybe we will be able to do a group photo at San Diego Comic Con (if everyone is able to get tickets this Saturday). Comic Fest was super small but really crowded. I think in five years we should have our own Stan-Con or Sakai Con 2021. Panels will include :

- Usagi Yojimbo Trivia Panel

- Usagi vs. Groo who would win

- World Premiere of Usagi Yojimbo the Movie

- Quck Draw with Stan Sakai, Julie Sakai and special guest Sergio Aragones

- Usagi Cosplay Contest

- Usagi Yojimbo and the Women who love him : Strong Female characters in the Usagi Universe

Here are a couple more pics :

A Dojo convention would be awesome!
Great convention loot! Is that a sketch for the Senso trade collection cover? And an early copy of UY #152!

LJ,

Yes it is an early copy of UY #152. On the cover it says that Stan and Luth created the cover in 2011. I think Stan said he wrote it around the same time so its an old new story??? The Senso drawing looks like the same early drawing from Senso Hardcover pg. 7 which is way cool. Hope to see you at Sakai-fest 2021 !!!

The Rising River was originally supposed to appear in Usagi Yojimbo #145, back before Stan took his hiatus from Usagi to do 47 Ronin with Mike Richardson.

you can see another page from issue 155 that stan was working on.

sorry, only pic i had, i was late and i was only able to go on saturday.

if you'll notice, just above the fantagraphics special edition softcovers, they have a new item.

chibi usagi/jotaro/spot bibs, using the art from the shirt/onesie designed by julie.

daniel should put that design on a tote bag and sell it as a "diaper bag", maybe add a zipper or snap buttons?

can sell it as a "baby set": onesie/bib/bag combo
