A commentary on London Expo through the medium of art
I know Andy at least wanted a better copy of this one.  I thought briefly about tidying it up, but I think I'll probably end up using the gag somewhere else anyway.  I get more worried about teh kidz every year.  ;)

Free Hugs, Cheap Sex


Would we get a table again?  Tricky.  It was nice to be with a whole bunch of other comicers, even if I didn't get round many of them.  But there wasn't a fat lot of business to be had, and I doubt we broke even.  I think we sold roughly what we sold at Aya, which is slightly rubbish given that there were at least 20-30 times the amount of people through the hall.  ;)

I remain convinced that the punters at Expo just aren't there for amateur stuff.  The kids are there for the big licenses, and the teens are there to socialise and pose.  And the fact that I had to spend over an hour in the queue both days even with a fasttrack ticket because we couldn't buy any more dealer passes was frankly taking the piss.

In other news, still waiting to find out if I've got webspace to do Revolution Baby in.  Hurry up!

Haha - I went out for a much needed cig break, dressed in my evil german trenchcoat when a group of free huggers made a little ball near me. I was already giving them evil looks, when one of them dressed in naruto gear advanced towards me with "Free huuuuuuug..." and I took a drag, stared at him and spat "FUCK OFF!" and he flinched and slunk away looking rather upset. Normally I'm a little less frank, but I was angry and it felt good.

Two people, both covered in varying degrees of body/face-paint, wanted to hug me when wearing rorita gear.

Expo is very big, Im pretty sure most small press artists feel the same way- most of the kids going to Expo just want to buy Yaoi!! 0_o
