Comic Con 2009 Results
A total of 130,000 people attended the San Diego International Comic Con
again this year. Because of lack of space that will be the total for several more years but many events did take place in surrounding hotel ballrooms including a Q&A with the cast of WEEDS. I came home with 70 hard earned autographs and did not pay any money for any of them. A lot of time and sweat though. I'm still sorting and confirming what I have but a short list includes Terry Gilliam, Verne Troyer, Patricia Heaton, Kiefer Sutherland, Maty Lynn Rajskub, Robert Englund, Danny DeVito, Elizabeth Mitchell, Matt Groening (sketch of Bender) Billy West, John Dimaggio, Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson (very nice), Billy Connolly, Joshua Jackson, John Noble, Cameron Diaz, James Marsden, Megan Fox, Josh Brolin, Rob Zombie. Got cast members of TV's GLEE, and CLEVELAND, the new Cartoon Network live action film SCOOBY DOO: The Mysteries Begin and PHINEAS & FERB (they are really kids). Plus tons of swag. Just search comic con on eBay and that will give you an idea. This was my 29th year attending and it gets harder and harder to get around from one booth to the next ahead of all the other 'fans'. Sometimes I don't make it. Tickets for next year are $100 for the 4 days. Pete |

Comic Con 2009 Hey Mr. B
Hey Mr. B.
We talked several years ago about you coming out for Comic Con. If you do I'll help you out. I may have an extra room here next year also. This year Matt Groening made only one signing appearance but on Sunday at his Bongo Comics Booth he was signing and doing a small sketch for everyone who bought a $20 compilation of the Simpsons comics. I was at the booth when he met artist Nina Matsumoto for the first time. She pencilled last years Simpsons halloween issue and won an Eisner Award for it. He had her do me a sketch from her cast of Japanese characters. Google her and look at her work it's very creative. I did see Matt with his get a sketch business cards. He hands these out to deserving people when he runs out of time. You mail the card to FOX and he sends a sketch. It took him 2 years to do one that way for me but it was well worth the wait. I have probably 10 sketches from Matt over the years but two I got at Comic Con back in 1996 don't fit in my albums and I have never figured out what to do with them, They are 9"X17" posters from Bongo Comics featuring the family on a plate being held up by Radioactive Man getting a hot foot from Crusty. One has a large sketch of Marge dated 7-7-1996 and the other of Maggie 7-7-1996. The posters weren't selling so he signed every one that people bought (no choice of character). If you want I can send pics of them and we can talk. |
