    Open Discussion: International Comic-Cons

    Friday, July 03, 2009 - 12:32 PM

    I have a question for the non-American Sheldonistas in the house:

    If I was to attend one international comics convention somewhere in the world in 2010, where would you suggest I go?

    THINGS TO CONSIDER:

    1.) It would have to be a show that's welcoming toward American-style, black-and-white strips written in English. For example, French/Belgian shows and Japanese shows probably would be less in love with that style of comics.

    2.) Is there already an audience of Sheldonistas in that city/region? If you suggest Amsterdam or Auckland or Alberta, we can check it against the website's server logs and see how many readers come from that area.

    3.) Would the costs to get there make it impossible to attend? For example, a show in Sydney's going to be a leeeeettle more expensive than a show in Vancouver. :)

    4.) To that end: Does your suggested convention sometimes invite international cartoonists as "Guest of the House"? That would help defray some of the costs to travel/stay.

    Anyway, suggest away, below! What comics convention would you recommend for "Sheldon"?

    Panel Dialogue Location Props
    1 SHELDON (standing in water): If I was king of the world, you know what I'd do? I'd force everyone to say "maters" instead of "tomatoes"
    ARTHUR (Sitting on water): ...what? Why?
    THE POND
    2 SHELDON (standing in water): BECAUSE! It makes it impossible to be an upper-class jerk. It would put everyone on the same level.
    ARTHUR (Sitting on water): I don't see what you mean.
    THE POND
    3 Waiter (speaking snobbishly): A fine choice, sir: The venison served in a pinot grigio reduction... served with the garlic-infused arugula salad. ...and will the gentleman be having any maters this evening?
    Man (Generic) (holding menu): Ooooo, yes! The gentleman will DEFINITELY be having some maters. ...please maters the gentleman up!
