ComicCon


So JFinger did all the good video. Thumb’s job was to mug for the camera. Here’s the best of our moving images (and a pile of non-moving images). It’s kind of weird that we really didn’t get any superhero video footage. I guess we were busy with fisting photos whenever we saw a costume.

Music by Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes.

If I get a chance, I’ll also post individual vignettes featuring the I AM YOUR KING guy and whatever other clips we have that are worthy.

How many celebrities/hero costumes can you name?

Thumb hitting his anger stride.

Thumb hitting his anger stride.

Thumb’s arms are sore, yet he didn’t carry anything with them today. Why are they sore, you ask? Well, he was busy flexing his arms for angry fists. Please note that in most of today’s photos, Thumb is flashing not one, but two fists, and instead of the usual bored, ho-hum, humdrum look he flashes for photos, he’s more than a little bit deranged. In fact, based on some of these photos, I’d say we haven’t seen many people MORE deranged-looking at this entire con.

HIGHLIGHTS:
New Watchmen footage shown in the Watchmen panel. Holy crap. I had chills for the entire five minutes of video. You can read about it at /film.
Speaking of /film, Thumb met Peter. That was cool. He played a big part in getting our Star Wars Reviewed by a 3-year-old video up to almost 9 million visits to date.
Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillion, Neil Patrick Harris, and almost everyone else involved in the Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog web flick held a super funny panel.
Spotlight on Keith Giffen, hosted by Robert Loren Fleming fulfills Thumb’s quest to meet one of his favorite oldschool writers.
The revelation that Thumb could be ferocious in photos cracked us both up when editing pictures at night.

1 additional Mustache compliment for yesterday that we found while reviewing video footage.
1 ThumbStore shirt observed (Community College).

PHOTOGRAPHIC THEMES OF THE DAY (including non-kid-safe terms):
Princess Leia

Short skirts and fishnet

There really are no words I can type right now that would make sense, so here’s our photo journal. Enjoy (and note that, as before, we’re splitting the naughtier pics away from the tamer stuff).

this girl must have known that she was not being very ladylike, right? right?!?!?!

See all the disclaimers on our previous post. Again: WE ARE NOT LICKING THESE GIRLS. JUST FISTING THEM!

The huge wineglass helps this illusion.

this part of the con looks like 2001 a space odyssey

Note that I’m splitting this post up between mostly kid-safe items that ThumbWife and JFingerWife can read to our children, and a non-kid-safe items, mostly involving pictures of girls in short skirts (for the anthropological study of their odd exhibitionist psychosis only).

HIGHLIGHTS:
Raygun Shotgun.
Thumb meeting his very favorite comic artist, Kyle Baker.
We ran into Erik from Bellingham. Also saw Erik Larsen next to Kyle Baker. Two Bellinghammers both with the same name.

STATISTICS:
13 positive Mustache comments (plus one stinkeye that we think was aimed at my ludicrous facial hair)
2 Merch-Bot t-shirts (zombie meat cuts and community college)

PHOTOGRAPHIC THEMES OF THE DAY (including non-kid-safe terms):
Strangers posing for pictures
Very large people
Costumes
Fists
Stickers/Graffiti
Thumb odding around
Short skirts and fishnet

I’m tired of typing, and it’s almost 1 a.m., so please excuse the constantly-changing tense and occasionally confusing sentence in this post. Don’t like it? Too bad.

this is a good example of thumb odding in the background

Please note that this post is for the anthropological study of the subjects’ odd exhibitionist psychosis only.

Thumb and JFinger merely marvel at the sexual objectification portrayed at this comic book convention.

Don’t girls have cooties or something?

Enjoy the sexist commentary (at least we’re not licking anybody).
