Comic-Con
2007: The Closing Hours
Photos From The Floor
If
you want to spend any time at the Con on Sunday, you must
accept within your heart that leaving San Diego will be
Hell. All roads lead to Rome, apparently, but only one leads
to the rest of California. With that in mind, I determined
to stay to the bitter end, maybe sign a few more copies
of Tony Loco for fans, and then have dinner with friends
before driving up to Los Angeles.
(Good
dinner, too, and good company, including DC softball players
Keith Champagne, Tom Nguyen and Across the Pond Studios'
Johnny Bourlett. Yes, Lon, I'm name-dropping.)
So
that leaves us with these last few hours, and discoveries
of the tail end of an exhausting but exhilirating Comic-Con...

...Wee
Pals creator Morrie Turner. Now 83, the artist
is the subject of a documentary in progress, a pioneer
in destroying ethnic stereotypes on the comics page,
beloved by Rosario Dawson and he spoke at my elementary
school when I was 8 and looked disturbingly like
his fat bespectacled character Oliver. Meeting him
now was the high point of the Con for me. It was
an honor when I was 8, and an honor when I was 42,
sir.

This
is it. Tearing down the DC booth at 5:10. The voice
on the intercom turns to a demon's and starts hissing
"GETTTTT OUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!"
