I Met Kel Mitchell, And Other Exciting Tales From Comikaze

Comikaze is a comic book convention in LA. I found out about it today at 2 PM. At 2:05 PM I learned Kel from Kenan and Kel was a Guest of Honor at the convention, so at 2:05:05 PM, I began speeding to the LA Convention Center. I spent $12 on a ticket and $12 on parking and then I guess another $20 fell out of my pocket at some point, so the following picture cost me $44. Was it worth it? You tell me:

Agreed, it was not. He had glasses that said “ALL THAT” in bling on the sides, and I hope more than anything he wears those 24/7.

One booth, for some reason, only sold cat ears and tiny hats. Obviously I had to try on a tiny hat. You can see how happy it made me to be so fancy.

Another booth had binders and binders of unsigned glossy photos of celebrities. When I saw that 5/$20 deal on Helen Hunt pictures, I immediately bought 40000000000000000.

I’d been looking for this comic for a while and finally found it. It’s great:

OTHER NOTES:

The line to meet Elvira was literally - NOT FIGURATIVELY - 9 billion people long. Why?

The short-length given to comic book characters is about 1.5 feet shorter than the acceptable short-length of comic book fans. I saw like 17 butts I was not trying to see.

Steampunk people: explain yourselves. 

Morgan Fairchild was sitting with a man whose mustache could only be accurately described as a “Morgan Fairchild handler mustache.”

Someone advertising a Mark Hamill panel said, “You want to see Mark Hamill?” And then this other guy said, “THE Mark Hamill? From Empire Strikes Back?” Do you think he thinks that was the only Star Wars movie? Otherwise he would have just said “Star Wars” right?

I met Tony Fleecs in real life for the first time and found out he is basically the nicest guy. I got a sneak peek at the big comic he is working on right now and it looks incredible. You’re going to want to buy that.
