Curls Studio visited New York Comic Con last week and had a swell time. I didn’t get to break away from the table too often, but I saw a drawing demo by Dan Parent (he drew Jughead and Betty) and glanced at Adam Cole and Tony Schiavone at the AEW booth. I also got to visit the NASA booth to give them Curls<\/i> “I Need Space” buttons<\/a>, sample some Kung Fu Tea, and admire Art Baltazar and Franco work (Tiny Titans) in Artist Alley.<\/p>\n

I had a signing at National Cartoonists Society<\/b> booth on Thursday and Friday. It was fun to be able to see some of the great cartoonists there and catch up after so long.<\/p>\n

One crazy thing that happened actually happened at the Curls Studio table was out of nowhere I saw a man walking the aisle in front of me. He was dressed in black tones. Definitely cool and rock-and-roll casual, but nothing too shimmery. He could have been anyone, but then I said to Joe through my mask, “Is that Mikey Way?”<\/b><\/i> Since everyone is wearing masks it can be hard to recognize, but I had a good feeling it was magically him. He walked by since he was on the move and right after he passed I said, “Hey, Mikey!” He stopped and turned around. Imagine someone in one of your favorite bands suddenly face-to-face with you. I told him how much his band is super influential and he mentioned how he it was nice to hear some positivity. Mikey gave us fist bumps and I got a photo with him (with my glasses foggy from wearing mask). I’m happy because I already had photos with all the other members of My Chemical Romance<\/b> and the only one left to meet was Mikey. Now I have photos with all of MCR!<\/p>\n

Of course we enjoyed being in the city as well. We ate lots of pizza in the hotel room and saw Times Square. I got to see the Vessel structure at Hudson Yards for the first time, however it was closed to go up. I also got to visit Coney Island once again and have an authentic Nathan’s hot dog and creamy orange shake.<\/p>\n

We hope to be back at NYCC in the future. Big thanks to Francis Bonnet, Sammi Messina, Joe Carabeo, NYCC staff, NYCC volunteers, NCS, and everyone who stopped by the booth.<\/p>\n

Our next tour stop for 2021 is Baltimore Comic-Con this coming Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
