Sketchbook, Part 3: Comic geekery
Mar. 1st, 2011 08:59 pmI'll open with a comic I'm hoping to make into a series about all the colorful types of people you meet at a con:

-Shy Stalker: You meet a LOT of these when you cosplay. They can be girls, too. But 9 times out of 10 they're boys. The behavior seems creepy; but most Shy Stalkers are just PAINFULLY socially awkward.
-Loud Panel Guy: There's always at least one at every panel. This comic was inspired by a dude I had the misfortune of sitting next to when I went to The Gathering of the Gargoyles. He talked back to the panelists (even though they clearly couldn't hear him), shouted dopey jokes/commentary/praise in response to EVERYTHING Weisman&Co said, and did loud, annoying cheers throughout the whole panel.
( More under the cut... )
