I won a ticket to the 2009 Victoria Comic Convention and - unless I missed something - it was weird. Without a word of a lie, prettinear every patron wandering the hall of the Harbour Towers Hotel was a body double for the Simpsons' Comic Book Guy. I was disappointed. With the number of great authors and artists who have chosen illustrated storytelling as their medium, exemplified by the Vancouver Art Gallery's recent Krazy! exhibition, I didn't understand how tables of DC back issues, porn star wannbes, old Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek actors combined with a few folks dressed up as Darth Vader were anywhere near relevant. The whole thing put me in a bit of a funk about "Snow Day". Maybe my funny bone was amputated when I broke my arm!
