INTERNATIONALSAN DIEGO, CA

If you're going to read 'those magazines,' you might as well read the ones with lots of Jessie Capelli in them.
Yes! Your eyes aren't deceiving you! It's "I'm Just A Bill," from Schoolhouse Rock.
Would you ever guess that this is the guy who used to direct the Saturday morning "ALF" cartoon? More recently, episodes of the Batman animated series, Stan Lee's "Stripperella," and the feature-length Batman cartoon, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. It's Kevin Altieri, with his latest project, a self-published comic book called "Joshua Warrick."
Andrews McMeel/Universal was represented at the convention.
Metal sculptures. You can't get toenail clippers onto the plane, so I wonder how far you'd get with these?
Keynote speaker Michael Chabon, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his novel, "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Klay," a fictional account of the early days of the comic book industry.
More booths, more chaos.
The NCS has been represented at the convention for the past 3 years. Here we find Joe Schmidt, whose camping and motorhome cartoons were syndicated by Full Tilt Features.
The Art of Silver. That's Stephen Silver, who developed characters for Disney's Kim Possible, among other things.
The Nickelodeon booth.
Here we are in the Small Press area of the floor. Pictured is Dave Roman, co-creator, with John Green, of Teen Boat! ("The ANGST of being a teen -- The THRILL of being a boat!")
Also in the Small Press area, it's Allen Freeman, publisher of the popular anthology comic, Slam Bang. Don't know the name of his co-booth person, sorry.
How cool is it to open a door to leave for lunch and meet Ray Bradbury coming the other way?
Commercialism rears its ugly head. I'm posing with Ron Turner, the publisher at Last Gasp Publishing. between us is a copy of "Musical Legends" by Justin Green. How I justify being in this photo is, I did the production work on the book, which was officially released at the convention.
These Mickey photos weren't actually taken at the convention -- They're decorating a shopping center in Portland Oregon, where I went after leaving San Diego. But they looked pretty cool, so here they are.
