SPX and being big time and small time.

Posted Thursday, September 24, 2009

I am going to be at SPX Saturday and Sunday.

Since I’m small time and everything I’m just going as a fan, but if you are going too we should totally meet up and high five.  Look for me.

On Saturday I’ll be wearing one of the latest shirts from the amazing Left-Handed Toons (the one about instant oatmeal) and on Sunday I’ll probably be wearing something I get on Saturday.  So you could use that information to find me.

Or you could just look for someone carrying themselves with the air of webcomic excellence.

In other news, an artist named Lauren R. Tharp has drawn a box with fan art of her favorite comics.

Check it out and see if you notice anything familiar.

What I notice is that one of my characters is on the same friggin’ box as Jughead!  Right below him!  So awesome.

Lauren is auctioning off the box to raise money for a Children’s Hospital.  And also a Savings Account, which isn’t a bad cause either, honestly.

So to wrap this all up, I am too small-time to pay for a table at SPX, but am on the same level as Jughead.  Don’t forget it.

  • I read this like this:

    “In other news, an artist named Lauren R.

    Tharp has drawn a box with fan art of her favorite comics.”

    In other news, I will pay $40 for the box, and then she can take $10 away from the hospital.

  • So cool about the box! But this comment is more about today’s comic:

    I think people don’t throw tomatoes anymore because no one brings vegetables to rock concerts anymore! We should bring back a great tradition!

  • I am so very upset I cannot attend this. Could you do me a favor and tell John Allison that I said hello; or if you’re feeling particularly willing-to-do-favors, that I really enjoyed his last comic and the new one is also excellent?

    Don’t feel obligated though.

  • No one is too small time for SPX :) ...though it was hard to swallow $350 for a table when we only had 25 reads last year :(

  • WHY do all the great comic conventions happen in either New England or Toronto??
    (Or San Diego??)

    No one comes to Emerald City ComicCon. D:}
