First off, I will not be attending San Diego Comic-Con this year. I apologize! But we’re moving out of our house to a new apartment across town that same week, so also doing a convention on the other side of the country is kind of a non starter. Some time after we move into our new apartment at the beginning of August, Shortpacked! Book 4 will arrive. You don’t want to have to move a ton of books twice, that’s for sure! So they’re arriving after our move and not before. Meaning, most importantly to us all, that they wouldn’t have been there to buy at SDCC anyway.
Of course, my Blank Label Compatriots, Spike and Kel, will still be there, and will be happy to sell you their things.
(Anybody want to pick me up a 20-inch Stay Puft Marshmallow Man?)
Hastily-taken phone photos of merch!
Next, BotCon! They’ve just put their schedule up, so now I have a general idea of when I will be at my table:
I don’t know. Is moving really that much more difficult than going to SDCC?
At no point did I say that one’s difficulty level was greater than the other. The problem is that I can’t be at two distinct locations 2000 miles apart simultaneously.
Good God, you can’t see that I was making a joke about SDCC? How can cartoonist take things so seriously.
If you don’t mind my asking, why is Laserbeak wearing glasses?
He’s a hipster.
It’s no fun awkwardly stalking just two girls. Without a guy to awkwardly stalk, it just becomes stalking.
Any of the exclusives you don’t think you’ll live without, or are you set in that department?
I’m only after Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, and Maggie’s only after the Young Justice Superboy exclusive. Worse comes to worse, we can just get them off eBay later, or when they’re put up on Mattycollechhahahahahaha
Well, I’m going to be @ SDCC this year. So I could try if you’re interested. I was the guy who hooked you up with Giganta that one year. Of course, if I do this for you. I demand you take pictures of your Batman figure beating up Walter Peck figure.
It is a face that demands punching.
Yes, I’ve seen the comic. But I wants to see it for reals.
I’d also like to have Staypuff stomp on the both of them, but that might be asking for too much.

No Willis at SDCC?! Well shit! And my girlfriend and I were going to have costumes that we were going to wear just for you. Hmmm… I wonder if I can talk her into hitting Botcon for a day?
Umm… I’m putting together a group to go see X-Men First Class for midnight Thursday or Friday night. Would you like to join us?
I don’t see MSTF on the BotCon schedule! How disappointing!
Well damn this is my last year before my visa expires, was really hoping to see ya there David. Oh well bad luck I guess.
Hopefully I will be able to renew it with not so much trouble. Have a safe trip.
Tony.
