the San Diego International Comic Con has become an addiction for me. for the year 2000, i brought a brand new pair of pants. here is what i ended up with. they're beautiful!
|
mike kunkel, creator of Herobear and the Kid, was the first to draw. if you havent read his comic, please do. it really is for everyone - young and old. soo precious and cute! |
| then chynna clugston-major drew Bleu Finnegan from her Blue Monday series. i loved this first series, the kids are alright, and can't wait for the next one. |  |
 |
Bob the Angry Flower is a comic that is online weekly. stephen notley was at SDCC as a con attendee but i still managed to meet up with him, and get this sketch |
judd winick draws Barry Ween and i just love this comic. ok i sound like i dork. i love all these comics or i wouldnt have them on my pants. you should read them all, i tell you! |  |
 |
Happy Noodle Boy is one of jhonen vasquez many creations that i adore. you should check out all of jhonen's work through the slave labor web site. |
one of the big surprises of the con was that i got to meet craig mccracken, creator of the Powerpuff Girls and also the infamous No Neck Joe (!) |

terry moore falls to the pressure yet again. the man is so gracious. i was hanging out at the Strangers In Paradise booth, talking to robyn moore (who, as i have mentioned, is one of the nicest sweetest people i have ever met!) and she asked me if i was going to have terry draw on my pants this year. i admitted that i was embarassed to ask, because he had drawn on the past two pair. robyn told me that i was being silly, and this sketch was actually her idea - each of the faces is on the back of a leg, facing each other. thanks, robyn!

chris bachalo is someone whose work i have admired for years. this year i was determined enough to track him down without being embarassed. i this its pretty clear that it was worth the wait. this picture he did of White from The Witching Hour is gorgeous |
