Some photos would really add to your blog! <BR/><BR/>LB – I don’t know, the coliseum is such a dreary place. I’m always afraid that they’ll never come back.<BR/><BR/>Dean – heh heh. The first time I saw this guy was in at the Emerald city comic con last year. So I bet you’ll get a chance to see him in person. To be honest I’ve never understood why extremely overweight folks want to wear costumes in public, but to each his own I guess. <BR/><BR/>Snab – There is something about Doughnuts huh!<BR/><BR/>Bat – I could see how you would be wary, as Usagi looks cute but I’d turn the argument on it’s head and say that Japan has a tradition of dealing with serious subjects with cute characters. I feel Usagi follows in that tradition. It’s seems deceptively simple on the surface but it’s a very engaging comic. Try Grasscutter if you just read one book or better yet jus pick up a single issue on the on going Dark Horse comic to get a feel for it. <BR/><BR/>Amazing article, thank you for the link…. I’m still digesting it. <BR/><BR/>Pido – ha ha I gues it’s only been a con for a few years now! LOL<BR/>It was fun <BR/><BR/>Arkonbey – tell me about it.! :DSwinebreadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947060321484913676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371426616015739116.post-27388198566276476952008-04-21T18:27:00.000-07:002008-04-21T18:27:00.000-07:00Stan doesn't look a thing like Sergio drew him.

I was familiar with Stan, but never actually started collecting the Usagi Yojimbo and Zatoichi Walrus comics - as a young Kurosawa fan, I was wary, but if you're a hack, it's a ripoff, if you're good, it's a homage, right?<BR/><BR/>Oh, Swinebread, I thought you might find <A HREF="http://www.sadlyno.com/archives/9322.html" REL="nofollow">this</A> interesting...Batocchiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02193752396025012825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371426616015739116.post-88388247574355582522008-04-21T11:42:00.000-07:002008-04-21T11:42:00.000-07:00Mmmm Donuts.Thanks for taking us into the dungeons...Mmmm Donuts.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for taking us into the dungeons of the PCBS and bringing us out enlightened.Don Snabulushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911180639753508627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371426616015739116.post-81699344295508592822008-04-21T08:23:00.000-07:002008-04-21T08:23:00.000-07:00That is some seriously cool reporting there, swine...That is some seriously cool reporting there, swine.<BR/><BR/>I think people will probably be too polite to comment about the jedi master in the first photo but, needless to say, his rigorous jedi training apparently took place on the planet Dunkin.Dean Wormerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06214049238722718299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371426616015739116.post-21368182368651990882008-04-21T07:41:00.000-07:002008-04-21T07:41:00.000-07:00Wow, sounds like it was a marathon of goodness for...Wow, sounds like it was a marathon of goodness for comic fans...how'd they manage to snag some of the big names?<BR/><BR/>(especially to a dungeon..hehe)ladybughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08814418184624819506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371426616015739116.post-3458932653266674632008-04-21T06:08:00.000-07:002008-04-21T06:08:00.000-07:00i have to start taking pictures of the pros i meet...i have to start taking pictures of the pros i meet at these cons.rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.com
