Well, despite the unfortunate and much inquired-upon abscence of lostjane (Chippy asked about ya Jane, that's all I'm sayin'...) I had a very good time hanging with my comics bretheren and picking up some dandy tit-bits to be shared out here with all of you at the Toronto Comic Book Fan Supershow on Sunday

Everyone's going to think I'm like the Polkaroo. Okay, that was a lame joke. I wanted to go. :(

DAMN BOSSES HAVING BABIES

[lostjane]

I mean, I was on special assignment.

A super-spy's work is never done. (I almost had to kill someone this time)

[papajoemambo]

Chopsticks to the eyes, or so I understand...

[lostjane]

Chopsticks, Joe.

To the eyes.

[papajoemambo]

I feel all disturbed by the thought of when the blood would come out. I mean, when you stirred the sticks like lil tiny crockpots or pestles, or when you pulled them out.

You must wear latex or something to keep it all ...

Nope, that's just a fantasy - nevermind.

[lostjane]

Ew. and

Hmm.

I picked up a copy of Stuart's "FIFTY REASONS WHY I DON'T DO SKETCHES AT CONVENTIONS" for you. It's a little minimalist (so not entirely your style) but it captures the frustration of sitting at a table and trying to be solicitous at a Con (he used to sketch for free) only to be continually confronted with the ass-hattery of the Average Fan. The three or four vignettes set at the Expo Des Bandes Desinees in Paris were especially good

[lostjane]

Well maybe we should be calling you George. Papageorgemambo is a little awkward to say, though.

Yay for stuff!

[papajoemambo]

George can be my codename.

Do you remember the "George The Dog" show with the St Bernard that was set oin Switzerland from the 1970's.

[lostjane]

I don't think so. Maybe? Picture?

I can't find a picture...

[papajoemambo]

The IMDB listing for it is right here.

The theme song used to go:

He's loveable
(spoken: George)
He's laughable!
(spoken: George?)
Sometimes he's impossible
The Funny St Bernard.

CTV used to play it on Saturday morings all the time. Here's another write-up. The crabby old nanny that looked after the kids who owned George was called FRAU GERBER.

Oh, and here's those Secret Railroad links so you'll know what inkspace and I were nattering on about last week.

Re: I can't find a picture...

[lostjane]

Looking at the pics in the links, I do remember seeing the Secret Railroad as I passed by that channel, but I never watched it. Huh. And the George show, no clue.
