Comic convention
Phew! I'm back and recovering from a full day at the local comic convention with fellow furry physicsfox.
What a day! I had a total blast. physicsfox was a most excellent guide and a veritable treasure trove of knowledge on comics, as well as virtually any other topic imaginable :). Seriously, he is awesome. If you need more proof, he also gave me a super adorable fox plushie!! <33 So sweet of him! That little foxie is definitely going to join me at Anthrocon, since the gift-giver himself cannot.
By now, I've sorted through the sack(s) of loot I've dragged home. Contents include a sizable pile of fanzines-a substantial fraction featuring animal people, of course-two sketchbooks, various business cards and flyers, some tiny art prints, several pins, and a postcard. Many of the artists signed their work, some even with a doodle. We also stopped by the comics section of the nearby library to pick up a wide selection of goodies, including Grandville, Blacksad, Three Fingers, and Transmetropolitan. In addition, we attended an interesting session with comics drawn to live music and caught a showing of the controversial (read violent) movie Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia. The latter was screened as an inspiration of Bryan Talbot, though it seemed more like a 1974 variation of Quentin Tarantino to me.
Aside from the plushie, the comics, and all the fun times hanging out, I gained an impression of the local comics community, and managed to meet and chat a little with a couple of other furry or furry-friendly locals, including alitna, Hedvig, and Otyget/Olivia. Props also go to the gals at Nosebleed Studio for being cute as buttons selling cute buttons and winning my most-hilarious-table-to-chat-with award! A sample conversation from the Nosebleed people regarding the print on my t-shirt:
"It looks like the bear is rocking out hard."
"Yeah, head bangin' and air-guitarin'..."
"The deer is definitely dancing to some pop."
"I wonder what the wolf listens to?"
"Maybe hip-hop. Kinda looks that way, doesn't it?"
"That, or salsa."
LMAO!
Next up: fursuiting with physicsfox, possibly as early as next weekend. I'm so excited I can hardly wait! ^^
