My Favorite Part of HeroesCon


These are cookies commissioned and provided by Kathy Parham, ingenious wife of the illustrious Craig Fischer. After dinner on Friday night Craig said they had a surprise dessert planned and took us up to their hotel room then sprang these masterpieces, made by Leila Jackson of Sweet Creatures Bakeshop, on us. I got Mr. Otterloop.

Craig was the moving force behind Favorites, a fanzine that consists of essays written by comics critics, artists and bloggers about their most cherished comic strips, comic books and graphic novels. It debuted at HeroesCon and sells for $5, every penny of which goes to Parkinson's research. Some fine family, those Fischers.

Hi Richard! Glad you liked the cookies! I wanted to add that they were created by Leila Jackson of Sweet Creatures Bake Shop (http://sweetcreaturesbakeshop.com/).She is a very talented graphic designer with a cookie business on the side.
