Morning Article Link> San Diego Comic Con’s Non-Problem

First, I’m sorry about not getting this week’s Marvel flashback out last night. By the time the V-Log was done I didn’t have time to read it. Plus kidney stone #2 appears to be moving forward, and I think that’s enough suffering without a Heroes Reborn comic thrown in. New comic review coming up later…hopefully. Now to business.

It appears that SDCC has a problem with the treatment of female attendees by male attendees and it seems even press members. It also appears that SDCC doesn’t want to appear like it has a problem. Chris Sims of Comics Alliance rightfully takes them to task, using another comic convention as an example of how to do it right.

BW V-Log: Hartford Comic Con

Hartford Comic Con logo

I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Hartford Comic Con yesterday. While I didn’t get to do the usual interview stuff I’ve done at previous conventions, I did make a V-Log collecting my thoughts on the event. After, you’ll see the few pictures I was able to take.

Morning Article Link: History’s Real Wardrobe

He'll cut your head off, then sew it back on for you.

He’ll cut your head off, then sew it back on for you.

Why is there an ninja up there? Besides ninja’s being awesome, and double for Doctor McNinja, you mean? Today’s article comes from Cracked contributor Alexander L. Hoffman. See, we get the classic ninja outfit wrong. And the vikings. And the pilgrims. And the pyramids. And the Greek statues. And the dinosaurs. And the…Big Bang kind of ruins the gag but go read the article anyway.

Jake & Leon: Business Cards 2014 (part 1)

Jake & Leon Business Card 2014-1

Yep, it’s that time again. New business cards and new business card gag strips. Now if I hadn’t of screwed up the first four or so cards on this sheet there would have been more jokes. I may add some color before they see usage, though.

And I thought I was going to need those cards because I was able to attend Hartford Comic Con. I’ll get more into it tomorrow but basically it was…okay. Not great, not terrible, just okay. Then again I had a few events surrounding it that kind of brought me down. Still, I didn’t have a lot of complaints. More about that tomorrow, but it meant that I didn’t get to do anything for The Clutter Reports this week. I did, however, put the Marina Sirtis press junket over on Reviewers Unknown.

And you’ll notice it’s the YouTube version. That’s because there was another “Blipocalypse” and this time I was part of the purge. I’ll be changing out all of my Blip videos to YouTube videos if I can. I have until September before they take it down but I can’t upload any new ones after July, and I say why bother? If I can focus on YouTube maybe I can get enough viewers to get some ad revenue. Or maybe someone will support me on Patreon, which right now has 0 support. It’s things like this that make me question these skills I think I have. Never mind, let’s get to the good stuff.
