A Success!

Heroes Con was a lot of fun! We met a lot of really fun and talented artists and had a really great time. Since I'm pretty new to the "con circuit," each one I go to I learn so much. This past weekend was particularly helpful because I was able to talk to a lot of artists about the future of web comics and how to go about self-publishing.

times and helping me schlep all my stuff around. Thanks dudes!

Little Jimmy: But Chris, with renting a booth, traveling costs, and self-publishing, how do you keep something like Heroes Con affordable?

Chris: Well Jimmy, you try to cut down on costs and take some advice right out of the pages of Reed Gunther: go camping!

Little Jimmy: Wow, you must be young and lack life experience because that sounds like a terrible idea!

Chris: Haha, oh Jimmy... It was kind of terrible, yes, but cheap! And really hot... And we got a lot of bug bites...






Jarad and Scott emerge from the tent confused on why they agreed to accompny me on the trip.



Of course I never remember to take enough photos (sorry Kassandra!) but I did get one taken of us all out at dinner one night for some tasty pizza.

I even got to do some drawings during the show! These were just examples I hung in the front of my table:








And look at all the stuff I was able to take back with me! It helped keep the three of us sane as we drove 13 hours back to Detroit on a hot day with no air conditioning...



Thanks to everyone to stopped by the booth to say hello, pick up a free button or two, or buy an issue. It means a lot and both Shane and I really appreciate all the support for Reed Gunther!
