HeroesCon 2015 Aftermath!

I’m still recovering from this weekend’s HeroesCon. It was our first trip there. I’d heard about how great this convention was my whole life, and it definitely lived up to the hype! Charlotte’s a beautiful city, the con was a true celebration of comic books, and the evening events had free guacamole! What more could you ask for? I want to send a big thank you to everyone we met this weekend! We definitely had a lot of fun and will probably be returning to HeroesCon sometime in the future.

Poop Office's table was right next to the bathroom

Our table was literally right next to one of the bathrooms. It was so right next to it that people pointed it out more than once every 10-15 minutes (seriously, we counted), which was fun!

Here are some other things people said to us:

  • I want to hold your poop in my hands.
  • That’s so funny, I’m gonna die.
  • It’s poop time.
  • It’s awkward going to the bathroom right next to the poop sign.
  • I don’t condone this.
  • This needs to be made into a motion picture.
  • I would invest in this.
  • (Mother of two children joins them at the table) Of course this is where I would find my boys.
  • (Smells one of the plush dolls) This smells like a stuffed animal.
  • (Notices we’re right next to the bathroom) They got the Poop Office next to the poop office!
  • This is probably the only time where you’d say, “Yes! I got seated next to the bathroom!”

There were a few kids that thought we were selling potato/peanut merchandise:

  • Daddy, look! Potatoes!
  • Look, potato people!
  • It’s a peanut!

This con’s winner is the guy who managed to see through my entire scam!

  • Really… you sell stuffed brown pillows and call it poop?

Honorable mention goes to the “y’all” comments we got:

  • Y’all are hilarious.
  • Y’all are brilliant.
  • Y’all are crazy, you know that?

And now please take a moment of silence to remember those that didn’t make it:

Dead poops

RIP Smashy, Sleepy, Scar, and Befuddled

Awesome Con DC 2015 Aftermath!

Awesome Con

We had a fantastic time at Awesome Con DC this past weekend! It was great meeting everyone and spreading our poop around such a beautiful city.

Following my regular post-convention tradition, here are some funny things that were said at the Poop Office table:

  • What the fuck?! Really?! Oh, you guys again! Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!
  • (Looking at a poop plush) Child: Why is he sad? Mom: Because he doesn’t like his job.
  • You are the best trollers since trolling began.
  • I’ve never said “aww” about poop before.
  • (Touches poop plush) That’s the softest poop I’ve ever felt.
  • (Points at two poop plushes placed behind a smaller catnip toy) It’s a poop family!
  • We poop all day and we party all night!
  • I don’t get the poop thing. (The premise is explained to them) Okay, that makes sense.
  • Mom (reading the slogan on our T-shirt): “Do you think your job stinks?” Child: No, I think your job stinks!
  • (Referring to our poop action figures, which look like but are not candy) I was gonna eat poop.
  • Why?
  • You must work for the government.
  • I wanna drop a turd in my boss’s office.
  • That’s gross. It’s beautiful, though.
  • Wait, that’s a toilet?
  • I’m not paying for poop.
  • (Looks at the table for a while) Eh! (Leaves quickly)
  • *I don’t have the exact quote, but someone explained to me why anal sex is gross (answer: the poop)*
And the winner for best line from Awesome Con goes to…
  • (Gestures to a Poop Office comic book) They’re made of molecules. Everything is made of molecules. Even paper, trees, if you look really close, it’s made of molecules.
 Later this month we’re going to be appearing in Artist Alley at HeroesCon in Charlotte, North Carolina (June 19-21), so if you’re in the area, stop by and see us! Just look for the giant Poop Office signs.

Baltimore Comic-Con 2014 Aftermath!

Hey, check out this crappy photo I took of my table with my iPad. The camera on this thing sucks.

Baltimore Comic-Con table

But y’know what didn’t suck? This year’s Baltimore Comic-Con! It was bigger and longer than ever! I got to meet a lot of really nice folks and see some old friends. I also bought some comics and met Joel from MST3K. He was sitting next to Chewbacca.

Some interesting things were also said at my table. Here’s a list of the best:

  • Adorbs!
  • I love Poop Office.  So does everybody in my office!
  • This piqued my interest for some reason.  I’m concerned about myself.
  • You seem like the right one to ask: Where are the bathrooms?
  • I feel weird holding a poop in my hand.
  • You guys are disturbed. But I like it.
  • This has been the talk of the town all day.
  • My son loves his doodie
  • [To her friend after pointing at Poopina on the cover of issue #2] That’s you!
  • That’s ingenious and disgusting.
  • [Choosing a button to buy] I’ll take the one with the penis.
  • Child: This is the best thing I’ve seen in my entire life.
    Mom: You’re young.
  • Child: Mom, would you like a [poop] action figure?
    Mom: I can make my own myself, thanks.
  • [Buys his wife a poop button] Don’t say I never bought you shit!
  • Why can’t I have an action figure in the bathroom?
    [His girlfriend responds] You make plenty of action figures in the bathroom.
  • I’m so glad that this exists.
  • I think this is the best thing I’ve seen here today.
  • I can’t wait to tell everyone!
  • I can’t stand it. I’m in love.
  • [To her kids] No Poop Office, c’mon!
  • Here’s Poop Office! [To his friend] Huh, I thought this was something you were making up.
  • Oh my god… [more distressed] Oh my god… [minute or two later] Oh my god…This is really interesting.
  • Mom, are you having fun smelling the poop?

And the winner for best thing said at my table at this year’s Baltimore Comic-Con goes to something that was said to my editor-girlfriend who was sitting next to me at the table and helps me sell poop stuff…

Not to offend you or anything, but you have the most masculine handshake of any woman I’ve met today.

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?
