Comic cons have been about more than comics for a long time. There are Star Wars comics and graphic novels now, but the more accurate term for the cons would be SciFiFantasyGeekfest. Last year I saw a number of Game of Thrones characters, as well as the superheroes from the latest Avengers movie.
I thought the “clouds” referred to the thought bubbles over Beardo’s head.

I think the only comic characters there besides Beardo are Rocketeer and Iron Boy.

Mario brother, Jedi Knight, storm troopers and Mr. Peanut, plus a few I don’t recognize.
It’s called Cosplay, and there are some folks that take it very seriously! Most Cons have Cosplay competitions for the best costumes with cash prizes.
And I don’t get the punchline either.

Cropdusting. Farting and walking through crowds.

Good joke. Especially like the grandpa one. Grandpa farts are toxic.

Ruuuuuuby Rod! And that Lilu has too much clothing to be accurate. Tiki Carol, mustard haze more likely

Did no one pick up on the Bob Howard poster behind Meg in the penultimate panel?
