Small Press Expo 2013 Aftermath

Posted on by

My short, nine-day convention season has ended with the conclusion of this weekend’s Small Press Expo. It was as fun and strange as it always is. Saw lots of cool stuff, got Magic Whistle #13 signed by Sam Henderson (one of his funniest issues yet), and met lots of people at my tiny half-table. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and said hello and/or bought some of my stuff!

It was a less quotable convention than some others I’ve been to, but there were some gems:

  • (Parent to child) Don’t fondle the poop!
  • I like the conceit of your comic.
  • Surprisingly funny.
  • I didn’t know there were people who understood my humor.
  • I think this was made for me.
  • (Person next to them chimes in) No, I think it was made for me.
  • After [reading] two pages, I’m sold.

And this year’s winner:

I’ll see you in April 2014 at the Awesome Con D.C.!

Baltimore Comic-Con 2013 Aftermath

Posted on by

The Baltimore Comic-Con was a ton of fun as usual. A big thank you to everyone who stopped by my table and said hello. Now enjoy some choice quotes from this year:

  • I work with people who look like that.
  • I’m so done.
  • Gross.
  • My dog sleeps with the poop [that I bought from you last year]. It’s the only poop I won’t yell at him for leaving.
  • You had me at “poop.”
  • I can’t even process this.
  • (Speaking on cell phone) Where are you? We’re right by Poop Office. Yes, Poop Office. No, Poop Office.
  • This is stinking amazing.
  • Ick.
  • Thank you for sharing your poop with me.
  • I was told to come here and pick up poop.
  • This is surprisingly interesting.
  • Much better than Dilbert.
  • My favorite type of office is a poop office.
  • That shit feels good.
  • That’s so gross. Why are they cute?
  • I want me some poop!
  • Really?
  • This is the crappiest toy alive.
  • Well, that stinks.
  • Psht.

And the winner this year:

  • Who’s idea was this? I’d like to slap him!

Bonus – Overheard at the convention (but not at my table):

  • Little girl: Excuse me.
    Another person: Oh, you’re not in the way.
    Little girl: No, I said “excuse me” because I farted.

See you next year for Baltimore’s first THREE DAY CON!
