Cosplayer Problems...

[brendala]

I'm thinking this might become a series...

First up: "Humor Fails"



Artist's notes:
This is something that actually happened to a friend of mine at SDCC.

The ONLY reason that Jedi Dude didn't receive a beatdown from the guys in our group was because they were fairly certain that Jedi Dude had some sort of...."mental problem".


The moral of the comic is this: Conversing with cosplayers is fine. But it isn't cool to make comments/jokes/whatever about the cosplayer's race when you do not know them personally (and therefore don't know how they would take a joke like that). And, when in doubt, just politely ask for a photo, give them a thumbs up, and leave them the heck alone.



Second Comic: "Overzealous Vendors"



Some booth vendors at the cons just can't take a hint...

I know this is more of a general convention problem than a specific "cosplayer problem". But the idea came to me and I just rolled with it. Also, this happened to me while I was in costume; so it counts! XD

The sun wouldn't make a fair person's skin black, anyway. :P I really have gotten to where I don't care for the con scene, it's just too chaotic, and really if not cosplaying, not as fun. Well, aside from people who think they're funny.

I'll usually go if there's something cool to see and my friends are there (nowadays, the cons are the only time we're all free to get together).

And even without my friends, I still dig it if only for the shopping in the dealers' room. :)

The dealer's room is the BEST reason to attend a con! It's kind of sad though, what with Seattle around the corner being a big hub for all things Japanese (including delicious candy), I can usually find what I want for a much better price just visiting the big city. Artist's alleys are always cool though!

I spend a good chunk of my free time in the dealer's hall at just about every con I attend! As well as artist alley!

Funny enough the last few cons I've been to I didn't get anything from the dealers room. I like like going to see old friend and to wear silly outfits. ^_^

"Hey Obiwan, I think you've been at the buffet too long because you're so fat. Maybe ya should try doing some force push-up*."

*It's funny because Jedi have an ability called "Force Push," it's a play on words you see...
