Posted on August 12, 2010 by ScottLincoln

I just received my table confirmation at the Baltimore Comic Con. A quick trip over to the Con site (click image to go there) confirmed that I am indeed listed in Artist Alley, Woohoo! I’ll be displaying original strips, selling my first issue mini comic and generally promoting Ralf the Destroyer during the show, August 28th and 29th. So if you are planning on attending the Baltimore Comic Con, please come on over and visit me in Artist Alley!

Estelle: Okay Ralf, today's your lucky day. I'm quitting so you can talk to the big boss about job placement.

Ralf: Robots can quit?
Estelle: We're unionized too.

Transcript

Estelle: (Oh boy, here we go again)

Estelle: Ralf, everyday you come in for a new job and everyday you come back a miserable failure. You CAN'T KEEP doing this.

Ralf: Because there's a LIMIT on reapplication?

Estelle: NO, because there's a LIMIT to how much UGLINESS I can witness.

Estelle: We thought treading water was a perfect fit for you

Transcript

ConnectiCon 2010, Postscript

Posted on July 21, 2010 by ScottLincoln

Well, I got back from ConnectiCon and WOW! It was a great show with major Cos-play going on there. I’ve been to the New York Comic Con and this one actually had two to three times as many costumes in a much smaller convention (at the very least per density).

Ralf: Thane would you be upset if I told you I was an alien sent here to destroy your planet?

Thane: (wearing a sign that reads: aliens have come to destroy us all) Could I stand next to you so I could say, "I told you so" to the whole world?

Ralf: What would it matter, everyone would be disintegrated moments later?

Thane: Still! Imagine the look on their faces!

Transcript

Thane: (wearing a sign that reads: The end is nigh) You know Ralf, people always say, "The two things you should never talk about are religion and politics"!

Thane: I say, "What else is there WORTH talking about"!

Ralf: How do they respond to that?

Thane: I don't know... I always wake up in the back of a police car after that...

Ralf: Thane, what's this sign for? (sign reads: FREE HUGS)

Thane: Oh, that one is for when I need to sleep in Central Park at night...

Thane: NO ONE comes near me with THAT baby on!

Transcript

Thane: You see Ralf, I wear this sign when I'm down (sign reads: The epoch of doom is upon us) and this one when I'm mad (sign reads: Aliens have come to destroy us all)...

Thane: and this one when I'm happy (sign reads: The end is nigh).

Ralf: But you wear that one a lot?

Thane: (sign reads: The end is nigh) I'm an up beat kind of guy!
