We spent this past weekend at the Alternative Press Expo, trying to trick strangers into buying our many comic-related offerings. Some people were more susceptible to our ploys than others. The more astute chose to read entire minicomics on the spot rather than paying the hefty $1 we were asking.
We were fortunate enough to be sandwiched between the fine folks of Big Stone Head and the ineffable Robert Goodin, accompanied by his wife Georgine. We also allowed our newest intern, Lee Post, to watch our table during bathroom breaks. He only fucked things up a couple of times.
For those of you with poor reading skills, here's a collection of photos from our time at APE. (Keep an eye out for a shirtless man!)
Big Stone Head sets up their table, the only way they know how.
Rob Goodin sports a hat he found on the bus.
Avery Monsen suffers a tapeball accident. It remained for the duration of the convention.
Two long-lost friends joyously reunite right in front of our table. It didn't become awkward until they began kissing. And groping. And disrobing.
Rob and Georgine Goodin take literally hours to eat their burritos. Simply put, it was an embarrassment.
An overzealous purchaser of our Ghosts Who Love One Another shirt was so excited, he had to change into it immediately, and opted to do so under our table. We refused to sell him our Manties (women's panties) for fear of what he might do.
World-famous musician (also known as the sixth Beatle), philanthropist and author Thomas Hayden stops by to autograph a copy of his new book Sex and War. He even drew a picture of himself in it!
We honestly have no idea what's happening in this photo. It appears that Big Stone Head's Jory John is being accosted by some sort of mentally disabled drifter.
