Sorry, this comment slipped by me. Of course, charities are great if it's one you feel strongly about. I've done stuff for the SPCA in the past because I wanted to. But if you are asking *me* to do this particular one for you...sorry, no can do. I'm up to my ears in cartoons at the moment! :) ~K Hi Jan. Sorry, this comment slipped by me.

The year I went to Comic-con, they had ditched the lines in favor of sign-up sheets. The only problem was the sign-up sheet was full the second the doors open. Hopefully they'll have changed that by now. It really didn't work. If they haven't, make really good friends with the security guards so they'll let you in early! ;) I saw Nikki Finke (http://www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com/) had some info on the SAG contracts/talks.

But then we wouldn't be artists if it were easy. As far as film being slow, a lot of productions are waiting for the SAG to complete (or God forbid, strike) in June. I have heard rumblings that they're in talks now. No one wants to start a film and have to shut it down. In Comic-con you have to have patience. I've stood in line with the hopefuls for HOURS. But really, a back door approach sometimes works better. Like showing your work around to the artists in artist’s alley. All you need is one to really like your stuff and be enthusiastic about it. You'll be introduced to the right person in no time! Yes, art is hell. But then we wouldn’t be artists if it were easy.

Your experance sounds a lot like what I've been up against. It's kinda nice to hear another's struggle with it. About your comment on the film being slow. Do you think that's a direct result from the writers strike and the ongoing SAG's contract negotations? Or even from the economic problems? And you stole my idea! I was about to try my hand at penciling comics again!! No fair! ;) Good luck at Comic Con. I went there in '04. Great fun as a geek, but a pain in the butt as a job hunt. Almost usless unless, as you said, you can get past the gatekeepers. (Wonder if they have Stargatekeepers too?) Will we get a Comic Con blog!? :) Great post as always!
