Comic Con Day 4

Last day!
But I couldn’t wake up early enough to drive the cargo van to the convention center.

I do blame the alcohol from the night before.
Kids, drinking is bad.
It makes your face puff up the next morning too.

I saw some independent press booths when I went to the restroom… and a lot of them had cute characters & colorful books, so I decided to go around & check them out.

I bought a Mr. Toast book.
They had plushies of Mr. Toast, Mr. Bacon & Mr. Egg. But none of the one-eyed Carrot. Please make one!
I did think of getting Mr. Bacon, but I didn’t know anyone who liked bacon. Maybe sales manager Gema… er Ian. Tee hee.

I also got a Bumperboy book & t-shirt.
I’m happy to see so many Asian American comic artists showing their stuff at Comic Con.
I guess growing up with manga (and Sanrio), I naturally gravitate towards the cutesy art style of Asian American artists.

And I fulfilled my need to shop at Dumbrella, where they had tons of cute t-shirts.
I bought too many… plus a tote bag!

There was another booth with really pretty art, but they didn’t have sizes I needed, so I didn’t get anything. One of the t-shirt was very Totoro-esque. Too bad I couldn’t get it.

Oh, this post is all about my shopping spree!

Um… it made me want to make more t-shirts & stuff for Broccoli Gear.
Someone asked me if we will make t-shirts for the Boysenberry line.
We might make it a pre-order system, but I’d definitely want to do one.
Let us know which title(s), and I’ll talk to our licensors!

Whew.
I got something in about Broccoli Books.
