Comic-Con?
You're soaking in it!

We felt it might be good to give you a page where we try to capture the general oddness of the the Comic-Con experience. A LOT of people are in costume at the show. Some are professionals, paid by a booth to play a character, and they really look flawless. Some are professional costume makers or amateurs with real talent with a needle and thread/a hot-glue gun. Their costumes also look pretty great. But some are clearly folks who got a really good idea for a costume, but were stymied as to how to make it look good and not like folded cardboard.

Sometimes the costumes don't elicit the desired effect: One of the signs I must be getting old came when I saw a shapely woman in a skin-tight black leather head-to-toe outfit and the first thing I thought was "that must be uncomfortably warm."

Anyway, here's just a few of the many Comic-Con attendees who were gussied up to beat the band.
 


Little Incredible guy looks incredibly bored...

 


We're going to destroy Gotham City....um, but first let us put down our tchotchkes.

 


I have no idea what's going on here, but THEY seem to know and perhaps that's enough.

 


I'm a fierce warrior, I am!

 


I want the push-up bra concession at this show.

 


Whoa! Too long in the tanning booth, darlin'.

 


And this was just the cleaning crew!

 


Hot dog! How do these people go to the bathroom?

 


Are you SURE we can't vomit on ANY stormtroopers, Kevin??

 


Nice to see Louie Anderson hanging out on the show floor...

 


This is what happens if you get too much San Diego sun...
