I made a coast-to-coast Krispy Kreme encounter. After last nights caricature event in Daytona Beach, I pit-stopped at the landmark Krispy Kreme on Speedway Boulevard and Nova Road. It is the eastern most store in Florida and one of the last original nearly 50 year old Krispy Kreme buildings still standing in Florida, besides the one in Gainesville. I nabbed a doughnut there.

This morning, on my way to Clearwater, I pulled off and swung by the western most Krispy Kreme on Kennedy Boulevard in Tampa and picked up a box. One thing I learned is that the Tampa doughnuts are 14 cents more.

Above  Sioux Hart and Ron Johnson experience 3-D Batman! Rob’s 3-D comic was one of items shared at the Suncoast Inkslinger meeting at the Bellevue Biltmore in Belleair. Below is Jeremy Buchanan and Greg Canales. Apparently ensconced in gossip is Tracey Canales and Ann E. Sabo.

After the Inkslingers, I headed to The Villages (A place I do all I can to avoid) to see my friend and fellow National Cartoonists Society member, George Pieper perform in a show named ‘Broadway Memories’. All performing reside in The Villages and what a lot of singing and performing ability exists there!

George, literally, wore many hats and sang a number of numbers. Below is a sketch of George singing ‘There is Nothing Like a Dame’ from ‘South Pacific’. Beside his sketch is of another great entertainer who belted out tunes from ‘Mame’.
