51. Hero Worship

51. Hero Worship published on No Comments on 51. Hero Worship

One of the big thrills of going to SPX was the fact that my favourite webcomic creator was going to be there. As I said previously, I spotted her within a few minutes of getting to the hotel and then I immediately felt like I was over my head. Then, my table turned out to be across from hers.

So I ended up turning into a complete and utter fangirl when I went to her table (even picking up multiple copies of her book, so I had one for me and some for my friends).

While I have not portrayed her in the strip (mostly due to her having an awesome cartoon version already… Sorry Kev, as awesome as I think you look in Mascot, you are reoccurring enough in my life that you NEED a CC version of you), I will now reveal that this Lady of Great Awesome is Erika Moen of DAR! A Super Girly Top Secret Comic Diary fame. At the time of SPX, it was the only webcomic I read regularly and that and Kevin’s I’m My Own Mascot were big influences in me starting my own autobio comic.

49. Friendship

Small Press Expo Pt II. This is the landmark first meeting of me and the folks from Interrobang Studios.

Sarah disputes my perspective on things. To quote her: “Are you going to show the bit at the reception where you boldly stride in by yourself and our cluster of friends is huddled around a table snarfing appetizers like they’re a main course, pretending we’re not all people who already know each other and are thus FAILING at ’small press mixer’?”

I still think I probably looked like a deer in headlights. I do remember for a fact one of the first things I said to Sarah was: “The only people I know how to deal with are in CMYK.”

However it actually went down… So far, they haven’t let go. Every con I’ve done South of the 49th has been with Kevin and Sarah and, of course, there was the infamous collaboration of Ensign Sue. I feel very thankful for the friendship I’ve gotten from that Mixer.
