What I Fear I'll See at the New York ComicCon This Saturday
Attendees with wingspans
Cartoonists referring to their characters in the second-person
A 48-year-old man arguing with his mother
People who become violently upset when you confuse Ghost Rider with Ghostwriter
Johnnhy Hart trying to stop an elf wedding
Floor models who either need a better agent or a more discriminating pimp
Someone solemnly saying, "With great power comes great responsibility"--after being handed a deck of theme cards
A crowd that can be divided into two groups: 1) Those too young to recall Thundercats and 2) Those who would gladly die for Cheetara
A self-published graphic comic ode that will scare the crap out of Jessica Alba
Me, experiencing a massive panic attack when I walk into an elevator packed with Furries

ack! Furries!
Mmm... Cheetara
Try an anime convention sometime for a complete mindfuck.
If I had known you were doing a public appearance I could have come stalked you in person.
Carol better not let you out of her sight around all those Sally Forth groupies. Those comics cougars are the horniest.
Ces:
Tell all next week! We want to hear all the lurid details. I myself think that it is not a question of whether you will see a 48 year old man arguing with his mother, but rather, how many such will you see?
You're going to the New York Comic Con, Ces? Are you doing an appearance, or just walking the floor. I wasn't planning on going, but I will be back in NJ for week.
I've been to the San Diego Comic Con the past 4 years (have you been), and well, you'll probably see most of these. Though the floor models are some of the best parts.
The furries won't hurt you.
see, now you went told people we'll be there...
crap. I mean...
crap.
I'll just be wandering the floor with Carol and our friend Corey (he of "Barkeater Lake"). King Features saves the booth appearances for their big guns, like the creator of "Andy Capp" frozen in carbonite and propped up near the autograph table.
It wouldn't be a comic convention if you didn't see these things. Except maybe the Johnny Hart thing. I'm not sure he's mobile enough to do more than raise a fuss.
how about "too old to remember thundercats"???
If King has a booth, why did they never bring it to San Diego? There was the NCS booth, but up until last year it was nothing but a table with Greg Evans awaiting adoring hordes that never arrived and Dave Kellett trying to get people to notice him.
Last year, they added a backdrop.
There's a bar at this thing, right? RIGHT??????
Yes, but it only sells Klingon blood wine, Romulan ales, and Samarian sunsets.
Dave Kellet trying to get people to notice him.
That's funny.
I didn't mean it as an insult. Just in a "Hey, have you heard of my strip? No, it's not in any papers. Just on Comics.com." way. So be careful, Corey. It's the same spot you're in.
Seriously, more power to Kellett for putting in all the time at the booth trying to drum up interest.
This is a humor sight, therefore everything will be taken as comedy. It made me laugh, for whatever reason.
You have no idea of the spot I'm in, nor of the spots I've left on the sheets...
I'm sure Dave works very hard, as we all do.
Still made me laugh.
Settle down, ladies. Everyone is a beautiful, unique snowflake as far as I'm concerned.
xoxo
