Thanks also to the three or four English Sheldonistas who brought me Hobnobs cookies from the UK. I and my expanding waistline thank you...they were amazing.
We gave out all the free Dilly Duck prints by Thursday morning and sold out of all the "Pugs" and "Living Dangerously" books we brought (and almost all of the "Nerds on Parade" books as well). Surprisingly, to mostly new readers. Thank you to everyone who dragged their friends/cousins/office mates over to the booth to introduce them to the strip. That means a lot.
This year, I was in a corner booth in a fantastic location, and it seems like everyone found us pretty easily. I shared the booth with my co-authors and friends Kris Straub and Brad Guigar. I laugh all weekend with these two, and miss them greatly when the convention ends. They are two of the most naturally funny guys you could ever want to meet. If you're not familiar with their work, do yourself a favor and check them out.
On another note: If you took any photos at SDCC of your Sheldon sketch, your high-five, etc., please e-mail 'em to me! Cap'n Forgetful forgot to take pics, and I'd love to show folks how the show went. Thanks!
Oh, and one last thing: The new Sheldon book will be going on sale after the Book Launch party on August 9th. More news on both of those later in the week!
I stopped by your booth and got a book and a set of pins. Everyone at home loves the Arthur you drew. I was horrible about taking pictures too, though.
Your panel was awesome. It was great to see you guys having so much fun. Thanks, and catch you next year!
Wish I had the opportunity (and the moolah so that I wouldn't have to share a tiny room miles away with six other smelly nerds).
The only photos I've seen have been Ryan Smith's - it would appear you did not like his new book.
There was a photo and article about the comicon in the Vancouver B.C. Sun, the first I've seen in our paper. The photo was of people in "hero" costumes, not ones I recognized, and the article, horror of horrors!, didn't mention you. Still, it's a start.
My husbands works at his employer Write Brother's booth every year at SDCC. Every year he asks me, "What would you like me to get for you while I'm there?" This year I answered, "If even the worst happens, if the convention walls crumble, and the exhibition floor is taken over by rubber encased Batman look-alikes, you must still get me a Sheldon drawing. Preferably one of Flaco holding a camera (photography nut!). And miraculously I now have my picture-clicking Flaco safely framed by my bedside. He is squee-riffic. Thank you so much!!
