More pics from our weekend extravaganza!

Rocky Sodin picked up the goods for tomorrow! Our booth will be there!

Rocky joined in on the fun with the Big Red Cheese!

Lily and Rocky visited today! She always does Rankin/Bass drawings for me at my appearances and did one we put in the new book! Notice her Frosty hat ☃️

Kong reunites with Bobby Bond!

Friends are a BIG part of what I do! Thank You to everyone that came out to the Chicago Toy Show and for all of your support!

 Rocky Sodin gave me a big hand with the booth!  I appear at his Southside Comic book show each year!

 I hadn't seen my friend Tim Lawson in a while!  He lives in Galesburg, IL now!  He wrote the book The Magic Behind the Voice Actors and introduced me to many of my friends in the voice business including June Foray!

 This couple saw me at Monster Bash a few years back and picked up my Mad Monster Party book!  I did a large panel on the film there!

 Good talking with my friend and fellow Collector's Call alumni Jim Engel!  He picked up a cool Snoopy banner!

 It has been a while since seeing my pal Patrick McKay!  He has been doing some art work for Disney now!  

 Bill Leff from WGN RADIO popped by and we will be seeing him again during the holidays at WGN!   Bill will appear on Collector's Call too.

 Always enjoy meeting new fans and signing stuff for them!

 My friend Tom Margarites was out looking for cool cartoon statues!  A passion we share!

My pal Dave Harms snatched up my Lil' Oscar before I could!  We will be working together on my appearance at the McHenry County Historical Society in December!

The Haunted Halloween Flea Market was a BIG Success! Thanks to all the great R/B fans and friends who came out!

Thanks to all that came out today! It was an enjoyable Sensational September event with Rocky and Lily! We had a good time at Jason's Deli too, on a rainy day!

Saturday fun

Rocky Sodin's Southside Comic Book Show #2 was a big hit with old and young alike!

 Attendance was up nearly double from last year and on a beautiful September weather day too!

 I rolled out some extremely rare stuff on DVD and in my portfolios today!

 Darryl Young and I finally met (even though we have been friends on Facebook for a long while and have done shows together) and he gifted me this cool R/B Button set!

 Darryl, who was quite busy selling today!

 My friend Chris Radz stopped by and wanted me to send best wishes to my Dad.   They worked together on the Alsip Police Department and Chris became the Police Chief for many years until he retired.

 My neighbor George Tackes biked the 5 miles to the show, two years in a row!   Good to see him out and he and Darryl had a nice chat!

 I am ready for the next one!  Rocky and I are doing TOYZ 'N' COSPLAY next Sunday in Oak Lawn 9-2 pm!

They

 They had great food at the show and I ate early, but had to hit RAISING CANE'S on the way home!   BEST Chicken anywhere!

 I played Basketball at the Apollo when I was in Jr. High, but I remembered today that I took my first guitar lessons there in the early 1970s.   I remember the lessons were the night The Rookies were on and I hated to miss The Rookies.

79 for the High today and no humidity!   Beautiful, September Fall weather has arrived!!!

Saturday! 9 am - 3 pm

This was in today's Southtown Economist newspaper!
