Gary finally makes it to ComicCon, *sigh* alone. Three hours was plenty! There were a surprising number of women, and not all were paid to wear spandex.
Lots of kids, too, hanging around Scooby-Doo's van, which looked only a little creepy.
Almost everyone was pasty white. Many artists, drawing and chatting. Many local!
A lot of parody. No pix of Gary, tho, 'cause he went there alone.
Gary got many (six or seven) comments on his Fat Fury t-shirt, to which he responded by handing out cards for HerbiePopnecker.com.
Damages, you ask? Just one plush Gengar and a Bender t-shirt. I might fill my shelves with junk from duclostoys.com. Did I say junk? I meant investments. |
