Awesome Con D.C. 2014 Aftermath

Awesome Con

This past weekend’s Awesome Con in Washington DC was a fantastic show! It was great to meet people in the nation’s capital and introduce them to the wonders of Poop Office. Also, I got to see Cary Elwes behind a curtain from far away! I didn’t have to wait in line or nothing!

Here are some fun quotes overheard at my table this year:

  • [Speaking to her child] Let’s go.
  • As soon as I heard the word “poop” it changed my life.
  • Do they poop humans? Because I just learned where babies come from and I don’t like it!
  • I can’t decide if this is brilliant or horrible.
  • The disgustingness drew me in.
  • [To child] Read this comic. This is what office life is like. That really happens!
  • [Looking at cover to issue #4] Hopefully that’s lemonade.
  • I want a poop plushie, but my parents won’t let me! [Later came back and got one]
  • What’s “2 Girls 1 Mug”? I don’t get it.
  • Do you ever regret making your comic about poop?
  • Oh look, there’s urine in that water cooler.
  • [Speaking on a cell phone] Yeah, I’m over here at the poop table.
  • Can you make [a comic] about Congress?

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.!
