Back to School Mural; Behind the Scenes

So I'm just a few short days back from a fun trip to Texas when I realize we're torpedoing into Halloween territory.  Any San Franciscan worth their salt in bio bags has a good nature toward Halloween, with costumes and spook spilling out of every corner of town.  Before I prep Q's walls with ghostly decor, I wanted to highlight September's "Back to School" mural.

27 Jennifers seems to be the best mix of feminine might to keep new comics and jokes on the rise.  So giving credit where credit is due, I introduce to you all 27 Jennifer (and some new guy names Courtney)

Happy Madre Day!

To highlight the special patience that comes with the position, here's my shout out to the moms of the land-
