| "It's morning in America, Hackenbush, and you work the nightshift."
Monday, July 26, 2004 Comic-Con 2004 (the express version) I have never seen so many voter registration people milling around near the tram stop across from the convention center in my life. And they were all wearing Kerry buttons. Yay! And, please note, this number does not include the very nice lady at the "Babes in Space" (THE funniest sci-fi T&A comic books since TOS Star Trek) table, who, after a few moments conversation, hauled voter registration forms from under her table and told me she is the Kerry coordinator for western LA. This is how much all kinds of thinking people want the bush junta out of office. Keith Knight was there this year and was his usual political self. I'm told Aaron McGruder was somewhere in the building the same day I was, but our paths didn't cross. (But, you know, Aaron blew off an interview at J LHLS last year so he was probably avoiding me and Laurel anyway.) Edit 082004: New url for TEX! http://www.bushcomic.com/ However, the most amazing thing was Mike Wellman dressed as Uncle Sam, hawking and practically giving away, copies of "Tex - George Bush and the Fine Art of Character Assassination" which is protest comic, rant, and vote Democrat tract if I ever saw one, which also includes five pages of notes documenting the facts in the comic and a back page urging people to register to vote and how to do it. Oh, and there's an original CD that comes with the comic. The content is facts about the bush junta and the crimes of the last three plus years with danceable back beat. I'm having trouble finding a link online, but you can email Mike at I don't know exactly what this is but it sure seems like a geek revolution for Democracy. And what could be better than that? Bravo geeks, bravo comic books and comic book makers! The Mayerson Voter Registration Drive salutes you! Yay! Edit 082004: New url for TEX! http://www.bushcomic.com/ Edit 073104: A Message from Mike "TEX" Wellman: "Hey there! "...and we salute America, baby! The compuserve account you listed DIED a few months back. My email is atomicbasement@yahoo.com or you can order "Tex" from "The Comic Bug" at (310) 372-6704. Thanks guys! We can do this!!! "Mike" And if Mike says we can do this, you better believe we can do this! Posted by Ginger Mayerson @ 08:22 PM PST [Link] |
