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 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. ^_^
