Pontoon's Boston Comic Con Report 2017 3 3

[Dick Pontoon]

This is going to be short. I had to cut out early and was busy before I left. Long-windedness will follow tomorrow.

For some reason, I think I left out my traditional Garden Report last year so I will correct that this time around.

It was a beautiful summer day here in MA, and the flower garden out front is looking quite nice.

The wishing well has seen better days and needs rebuilding, but the bees and butterflies love the liatris!

Vegetables have been doing great overall. Cucumbers and zucchini are rockin', more than we can keep up with eating. Tomatoes are mostly coming in nicely; the heirlooms are growing like crazy but the Early Girl hybrids are pooping out this year.

Took a brief spin of the room after I arrived but haven't bought anything yet. There seems to be a surfeit of impulse-buy tchotchkes and less funnybook dealers, but I'm sure I'll find some nice books. After I wade through aisles of displays from T-Mobile, Geiko, Chevy....

Almost forgot: Here's some garden flowers in a shot especially composed for @chromium.

HotFlips is moving on up. They finally got a piece of the pie. Fish don't fry in the kitchen, beans don't burn on the grill...

Early in the day.

It never gets old does it? I've been to literally hundreds of comic cons over my many years of collecting. Very few places I'd rather be. Have fun and good luck!

[Dick Pontoon]

Here's an errant thought while I wait for my toast.

At the previous location at the Seaport Center, the hall had a set of bathrooms in the back and a set in the front. They weren't huge, maybe a half dozen stalls and urinals in each, so you could find yourself waiting in a huge line in a messy bathroom if you had to go.

This year at the Convention Center, we only seem to have ONE set of each in the rear of the hall, with a handful of urinals and only THREE stalls. How can this be? With an expected attendance of 60k people, it's going to get ugly real fast.
