Dave Kellett attended Comics Camp, an event hosted by Alaska Robotics, and he’s back — filled to the brim with joy and enthusiasm — from this annual retreat/comic convention. You can get on an e-mailing list for next year’s event here. He shares stories from the week, including:

• Ursaphobic Stan Lee
• Classes taught by fellow cartoonists
• The importance of play in revitalizing an adult’s creativity
• Anonymously sharing income sources
• Dissatisfaction and Imposter Syndrome occur at all levels of success
• Dave Malki, Scott C., and Dave Kellett… out-of-sync snoring
• “You’re kinda like a Comics Dad!”
• Re-evaluating happiness after bring offline for four days.
• New projects launched that weekend.
