Pontoon's Pooped Boston ComicCon Report

[Dick Pontoon]

Pooped and harried. I gotta run out the door.

 

The 4th Boston ComicCon was bigger and better than ever, packed full of people and shloads of great books. I don't think I've ever seen so many younguns at a show. While I don't think there'll ever be the same number of kids reading comics as when I was a kid, the turnout was certainly heartening. There was boobs, too, but I didn't get any photos. Sorry, guys.

 

I always have trouble getting room shots, but here's a few:

 

 

 

 

The usual board suspects were on hand, like CKB:

 

 

And GACollectibles:

 

 

And it's just not a show without Superword/Ted methinks:

 

 

Oh, here's one of the younger attendees, Lil Batman. He has stuff on YouTube, I think someone may have posted it recently:

 

 

I picked up an excellent new Thor ToonTumbler but don't have a photo, nor one of SilverandBronze who was set up but nor present.

 

Here's a Picky High Grade Collector, in his native habitat. Be careful not to feed him any Ouzo:

 

 

The fellow responsible for all the good times, BedrockComics. (I'm probably misspelling it - East Coast Bedrock, that is.)

 

 

The show was so smokin' and joyous, even the Blazing One was happy:

 

 

Bob had the most amazing selection of high grade slabs I've ever seen in Boston.

 

Last but not least, why is this man named Wrightson smiling?

 

 

Because he was overjoyed to meet Cap and Mandi.

 

 

Okay, I gotta put on my tinfoil hat and have Forum Dinner. Later.

It was a great show for me anyways. every show is a great show for me

 

I scanned lazily a few of my purchases in Boston. Besides a sweet HG stack of WBNs I picked up from Andrew, here are a few of the others.

So D ick, is the table that had the boobs the one on the back wall and she had a low cut white top?

 

I wonder if those pair helped or hindered sales? I tried looking at the wall books but could never really focus on them.

Great report, thanks.

There was boobs, too, but I didn't get any photos. Sorry, guys.

 

That's the only reason I click on these con reports. I expected more from you, Pontoon.

Looks like a lot of fun! I spent the day in bed, hacking up a lung. (still!)

 

And Wrightson looks much younger than I imagined.

 

Wish I was there!

I just need him to show me where the sweet raw books are. Plus I can't grade for sheet.
