Greetings from Ty Templeton.
That’s show co-organizer Peter Fisico on the right.
Our heroine!
The big star of the show, Elim Mak.
A few costumes.
A few views of the show floor.
Chip, Chip….will you never learn?
Pedro!
Oops a frenzied typo… McPedro
Those are very nice photos. It looks like you had a very good time.
Hi Heidi. You’re correct with Carla Drmay. She’s the Development Director at the Max the Mutt Animation School here in Toronto.
Elim draws the best humanoid chickens.
And your last “A few views of the show floor” picture also includes (right off to the left) Ms. Girls With Slingshots herself, Danielle Corsetto (peering out from being the big green thing).
Man, that looks like fun. When I starting wanting to go to any con but CAPE! again, I’m making a run for the Great White North!
Hi, Tara! LOVE THE HAIR!
Hi, Danielle! LOVE THE PEDRO!
Plug for Danielle:

This has been your Lea Hernandez nice for the day. Back to our regularly scheduled hurting.
Wait, it is just me, or does anyone else think Raina and Dave will always be so damn cute?
I also think the first “Unknown” is Christine Norrie…
“The Women of Comics panel — we recognize Diana Tamblyn, Raina Telgemeier, Unknown, Tara McPherson, Svetlana Chmakova, Janet Heatherington, and Unknown.”
Can’t pin down the last.
The last “unknown” is Faith Erin Hicks.
When I ran my convention in Chicago a few years ago, this was the type of comic convention I eventually wanted it to become. Looks like a ton of fun.
I was the Women in Comics panel (the back of my head is in the shot) and all the unknowns have been correctly identified.
Part 2 of my report from the floor is up…

…which includes some interesting news, from the “Strangers in Paradise” Terry and Robyn Moore panel that I hosted, about Terry inking an exclusive deal with a big publisher to write two books and draw covers (and maybe more)…
On the second to the last photo, the big green guy is McPedro (hence the excited early posts), and you can make out Danielle’s head poking out from it.

I’m the dude in the green baseball cap & black t-shirt just behind “Mr. & Mrs. SuperCouple”.. Exciting, ain’t it?!! Hugh Betcha!
T’was another Good Show, indeedy.. Congrats to everyone involved at the organizational level!
People who still stereotype comic creators should really look at those pictures. Nice, clean, smart, friendly people! Wish I was there!
