Intermission Comic #7

"OMP.WHERE R THEY??!"

This was me, during most of Comic Con when I had to venture across Hall H to the *other* side. Since Small Press was on the side of all the publishers and Gold/Silver Age comics dealers, most of my exhibiting friends were clear across the hall near the Artist Alley and "Toy" dealers.

I found -most-, but I didn't find everyone... sometimes it was just too crazy busy with all the promotions going on at the industry booths or just bad timing on my part. ^_^; Oops.

Part of the problem is that -- although we are assigned booth/table numbers, and there are hanging banners to tell you what row is where, the numbers disappear when the booths are set up and are, for the most part, pointless. D:

Also, nevermind that getting from one end of the hall to the other takes about 10-15 minutes depending on traffic in the middle. X_X;

Has this happened to you? You completely missed someone because you couldn't find their table? (This inevitably happens to me at every single event I've ever done. Big or small. o_o;)

    This is /exactly/ what had happened to me at sdcc this year. If it wasn't from the giant displays and/or sheer luck I would have been screwed. ^^;

    I've missed people at a convention because we'd be on totally different schedules. Rarely have problems finding booths at small cons.

    Used to be the guy that wanted to do EVERYTHING at a convention. Even back in the late '90s when I last was at SDCC that was pretty much improssible. At best I think I visited 1/4 of the booths I wanted to that year.

    This happened to my friend and I at ACEN! We were trying to find a certain artist's booth, but between the two of us we don't have much common sense or sense of direction, so we ended up having a third friend show us where. XD

    All the gray people in panel 2 and 3 are bald..... Strange.
