Space Fish posted:Libraries across America have been putting on miniature "cons" the past few years, with admins at other libraries all leaning over their younger staff and asking, "So how about those conventions, huh? What if our library had one?" The result is usually a day-long mixture of cosplay contest, artist/vendor alley, some local talent, a woefully misplaced local author or two ("Why don't these pop culture nerds want to read my book? Historical fiction is its own form of cosplay!"), a make-your-own-comics lesson for the kiddies, and if they're lucky, a big name that draws an attentive crowd. Oh my god a local library in my city did one of these, I didn't even know it happened until I saw it on the news that night. Judging by the report all they had was some artists I've never ever heard of and some of the saddest Batmen I've ever seen. I don't think I've ever felt a stronger sense of second-hand embarrassment.

muscles like this? posted:So I was going to make another old comic post in the funny panels thread because I was reading CRIME DOES NOT PAY and came across some funny stuff: ...I've been staring in awe of this picture for like 5 whole minutes. It's beautiful. I think it's the funniest thing I've ever seen The man shoving a woman's head into a fire, a crime ghost looking on, "Legs" Diamond, poo poo just the giant CRIME DOES NOT PAY title. Every time I look at it there's something to make me smile. ...is this what joy feels like?
