Chris gives Lee a brief telling of how he came to be at the Doctor Who convention.

No, I didn’t go to Gallifrey 21.

Before you wonder if I attended Gallifrey 21, this past weekend at the Marriott near the LAX, let me say that I didn’t. I was considering going, but other things took more presidence, and I decided to not go along. Many of my friends did, and they have some wonderful photos on their Facebook pages.

My storyline in the strip revolves around a Doctor Who convention, which may or may not be Gallifrey. I’m just using things that happened at conventions in the past, which I attended, both in the US and the UK.

Do I wish that I could have gone to Gallifrey 21? Maybe… perhaps… not sure. I guess doing a webcomic and running a retail business, as well as being a husband, does tend to eat up a lot of time and makes you set things in certain priorities, and certain things have to take their place lower on the ladder of things. It sometimes makes me feel that I’ve passed up on chances of hanging out with friends and having some fun. But, you have to when you have responsibilities.

Heck, I’m not even attending San Diego Comic-Con this year. Next year, however, will be a different matter, and I am planning on making my fizzog more apparent at numerous geek and fan gatherings. I’ve got some things planned and have some other things in planning stages.

Yes, It Does Happen

Lee and Justin head to the local Doctor Who convention, to track down Chris and bring him back to the store.

However, there are horrors, that no sane mind should see, that await them.

Miscommunications

Sometimes, no matter what language anyone speaks, you always know when they are asking directions to the restrooms.

Chris finds himself not at work and Lee wonders where the hell he is.

Doing Sketch-Cards at Star Wars Day @ Frank and Son Collectible Show

Carl — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 05:30:09 +0000

Today was awesome. I was doing sketch cards based on Star Wars, at Frank and Son Collectible Show. for Star Wars Day.

I got to hang out all day with my chums, Hal Hefner and Mat Nastos. I also got to hang with Daniel (Boba Fett) Logan and Ray (Darth Maul) Park, along with Randy Martinez and the ever-stunning Denise Vasquez.

I wound up cranking out a tonne of cards and made a lot of kids happy. It was a great day, had by all. And, do you know what, I’d love to do it all over again.

I still have a huge bunch of cards that are still available, so if you want a one of a kind Star Wars sketch-card, let me know which ones you want (examples are in the photos) and we can sort out a Paypal transaction.

Yep, he’s back again, hustling tourists and fishing for tips. Maybe he needs a spade to help him dig deeper.
