My Elves Are Different -- which is to the SF/F world what Wondermark is to self-absorbed hipsters, I guess -- has noticed the end of my exile.
This marks the first time I've been mentioned by name in a webcomic, though My Elves did obliquely refer to me once before...

Who Is This Hornswoggler?
- Andrew Wheeler
- Andrew Wheeler was Senior Editor of the Science Fiction Book Club and then moved into marketing. He currently works for Thomson Reuters as Manager, Content Marketing, focused on SaaS products to legal professionals. He was a judge for the 2005 World Fantasy Awards and the 2008 Eisner Awards. He also reviewed a book a day multiple times. He lives with The Wife and two mostly tame children (Thing One, born 1998; and Thing Two, born 2000) in suburban New Jersey. He has been known to drive a minivan, and nearly all of his writings are best read in a tone of bemused sarcasm. Antick Musings’s manifesto is here. All opinions expressed here are entirely those of Andrew Wheeler, and no one else. There are many Andrew Wheelers in the world; this may not be the one you expect.

Woo hoo! Glad to see you're back, Andy :)
The good news is that you're noticed, whether you're gone or not. You know you aren't loved when you decide to come back...and nobody notices.
