Marginally inspired by a true story

I can't even begin to imagine how strange it would be to watch a biopic about yourself, let alone one made under the assumption that you had died. (I imagine that second part doesn't come up often in real life, though.)

San Diego Comic-con has announced the probable booth placement for the webcomics area of this summer's convention. Unfortunately, they did not have enough space to give Dayfree Press the booth we had wanted -- one which would have been double the size of the one we did get. However, at least we are right in the thick of things, webcomic-wise!

So, a number of folks have gotten back to me and told me that they would come visit me if I did a convention appearance in Toronto. But more than a few have suggested that the Hobbystar Fan Expo, rather than the Paradise Comic-con, is the city's real "must see" convention.

There really isn't any way I can do both. So, I put the question out to everyone in the audience who lives in the area: Which convention should I go to? Which one are you more likely to attend? Which one kicks the most ass? Drop me a line via email and let me know!

That's right... Elton Priestly. There are no real people in the Sam and Fuzzy universe -- just plenty of thinly veiled analogues!

Well OK, I guess there is one real-world person who does exist in comic continuity. Boyleeeeee!

In all seriousness, I just prefer to handle these kinds of characters this way. It makes me feel less weird about developing their personalities away from their initial inspirations and fleshing them out into full-on unique creations. Even the Noosehead characters started as a simple parody, after all... but I'd like to think that they've transformed into something much more than that!

This tedious insight into the creative process was brought to you by Log.
