While I’m at SDCC, I’m posting predictions as to the toll that SDCC (the con, the parties, the lack of sleep) will have on my physical and mental well being. Outlook = Not So Good.
Well that escalated quickly. Despite only being the 2nd real real day of the convention proper, Friday is usually my 3 rd or 4th consecutive day with no sleep (after 2-3 weeks with little to no sleep), and marks at least a few days of eating like a garbage monster. It’s also begins mere hours after the closing of the largest party I attend each year, w00tstock.
Despite writing this days before the actual event, I can assure with 100% future-man-from-the-past certainty that this years w00tstock was the greatest, the geekiest and the most ridiculously fantastical melding of all of the things I love, all happening in one place, which is a place full of people super excited about loving the same things I do in the same way I do. How do I know this? Because it always is. Every year always tops every previous year. Eventually, in order to top itself, w00tstock will have to be a theater full of blow job robots that fart money.
Coming to SDCC? Come see me at the Blind Ferret Booth (#1231) in the Webcomics area. I will have books and shirts, sketches, Lil’ Wil plushies and ??????THE MYSTERY BOX??????!!!! Speaking of books, if you buy HijiNKS ENSUE Vol’s 1 or 2 you’ll get a free mini print featuring my Sharknado sequel posters! More info HERE.

That’s only a minor hyperbole on Joel’s part: con food be hella pricey.“I saw a Ghostbuster stab a Boba Fett over a cobb salad.”That line made me have a baby. I love you.

Its like Lord of The Flies, except con goers are way too fat to crush anyone with a giant boulderIs it possible to get a drawing of these “blow-job robots that fart money” at a future w00tstock that you speak of? This may top my current favorite of Wheaton’s Spicy Dick Milk LOLThen “make it so” and take my money! I can’t wait to see how you imagine such robots would look LOLSeriously though, let me know if there’s an official method for requesting this drawing or if this is good enough 🙂

I have to find if The Doctor ever met J.R.R. Tolkien. He’s teamed up with other English literary figures, even before the relaunch.

Tolkien intolerable? Kill him with fire!°°His world building and characters are second to none. HIs prose is nearly impenetrable.lou · 100 weeks ago
I thought it was well-known that Tolkien was a linguistics professor first and an author second.

Do you clear a profit on SDCC? Seems like a horrible crucible of people-flesh and overpriced services.I won’t do a show twice if I dont make a profit. SDCC is a bit of a different animal because there are intangible benefits in terms of super fun time parties, networking, making new friends, etc. I still make a profit but its not as good as other shows.Aw man, i never knew i wanted something and now i want nothing but…
