It was a long weekend — Thursday through Sunday, but I have to say that it was definitely a success. The place was packed! 105,000 people showed up to fill the halls of the Jacob Javitz Center in New York City and Suburban Fairy Tales had a great presence.
Suburban Fairy Tales was in the Small Press area, booth #2841. We were right next to Artists’ Alley, so we had a great location. It was so busy at times that you couldn’t even move! I was lucky enough to meet some current fans face to face and I also made a bunch of new ones. Oh, and I also got interviewed by a puppet.
The newest Suburban Fairy Tales book, This Little Piggy Gets Even, was being sold at the booth and came with a free sketch. Let’s just say that I couldn’t draw the sketches fast enough!
I want to thank all the fans who came to the booth and supported the comic strip. You guys really are the best! I’d also like to thank the people who helped me run the booth. There’s no way I could have done it without you! Special thanks to Alina, Stephanie, Pete, and my wife LeeAnne. And another thanks to Chris and Eric, who shared a small section of my booth in the beginning, until they happened to get a booth of their own.
Hey! I saw your booth at Comic-Con. Your comics are super funny! My favorite characters are the Big Bad Wolf and the Frog Prince.
Keep making more! They’re great!
Hi Elyse! Thanks for the comments. I probably won’t stop making comics until I get eaten by a wolf.
You better stay clear of the Big Bad Wolf, then! Haha!
I wish I had stopped by at your booth at Comic-Con and checked out the books, but I had only passed it quickly in the crowd, and I stuffed the handout in my bag — like I did with most of the other handouts — and I only took a look at it after I got home.
I will tell my friends about your comics, though, and maybe recruit some new fans!
Don’t worry about it — I’ll probably have a booth at next year’s NY Comic Con, so you can stop by in 2012! In the meantime you can keep reading new strips here… and I totally appreciate you spreading the word about my comics to your friends.
Suzanne- I have never heard that the bride-to-be has to wear white at the rehearsal dnienr! You will be wearing white the entire next day so I vote for something with a little more color, heck even a print!! You should definitely expand your search, good luck!
