Beardo by Dan Dougherty for August 14, 2013

How much will you pay me to take a book?

I’d take a book. I like Dan’s stuff. Comics-wise I mean.

so, it’s not all glamor & groupies?

But you didn’t dress funny! You look far too normal to draw any attention.

Yes – it’s Comic Con – look around you. Nobody’s dressed normal. You need a gimmick.

Maybe you can set up a tablet displaying this page, so people can see the current work and comments.

Give the book away and sell the autograph.

My daughter went this year and said on the final day, a lot of the vendors were packing up early. Not many “Con clearance sales”—-there are so many similar conventions across the country now, they’re all getting ready to move to the next one. But yeah, Beardo should have worn a costume. Half of the fun of going is taking photos of all the people in cosplay; people will stop to take your picture if nothing else!

I know that feel, Mr. Dougherty.
