With the San Diego comic con and four zillion deadlines looming, I decided to recycle one of my old Comic Buyer’s Guide strips. I may start doing this on Fridays on a semi-regular basis if it’s well received.
So–what’s the verdict?
↓ TranscriptCAPTION: Sure the guest stars, the wild costumes and the fab freebies are fun! But the best part of any comic con is meeting other fans...and realizing you’re not the weirdest person in the room!
MAN: Hi! I know we just met, but let’s share a room during the con!
MAN: We’ll save money! And I promise...I probably won’t be creepy or try to seduce you!
WOMAN: Okay! And I promise
my boyfriend probably won’t rip out your spine…When he
finishes arm
wrestling the
Incredible Hulk!
CAPTION: Special Going-Insane, Getting-Ready-for-Comic-Con Edition!

The good news is that the mind-blowing San Diego comic con is next week. And the bad news? Well…(Good, Lord!)…didn’t you hear me? It’s freakin’ next week!
If someone has a time machine handy, I’d like to rent it and get a few extra days to prepare. (I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday…sometime in the future. Or possibly a Tuesday in the past.)
This year, I’ll be rolling out some new products — including the fantastic Dark Horse/Last Kiss coffee mugs and sticky notebooks. Stuff so cool that — thanks to that time machine — I’m literally beside myself with joy.

I’ve had two “pre-dates” in my life.
Pre-dates are when you make a date with someone. And then you’re so much in love, lust or at least “like” that you can’t wait for your official first date.
So you make another date–before your official first date.
Both “pre-dates” went extremely well. In fact, I ended up marrying both of my dates–although not right away. And not at the same time.
↓ TranscriptWOMAN: B-but...I never sleep with men…until at least the first date!
