Steam Sawyer
ABC is developing “Finn & Sawyer” that sets Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn into their twenties, solving crimes in a retro-futuristic Steampunk New Orleans. I think I’d enjoy Mark Twain’s musings on this more than the actual series. via Geek Peeks

Toy Break-ChetArt Purchase
Ben displays his ChetArt “Scorchplate” badge purchased at SDCC 2012
The fine folks over at Toy Break sat down for a recap of their buying adventures at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. I had the pleasure of meeting Ben this year and he purchased my Scorchplate laser engraved wooden badge. There’s a nice shout out (31 minutes in) for the badge in Episode 227. They also praised Lauren Hemphill from Ink It Labs with her efforts to bring my badges to life. Thanks Ben!
