At the London Comic Con Expo


Some background: Dave (that is Meish'a husband, for those of you following this blog who are non-family members) started getting into a particular webcomic when he was still living in Boulder. It has morphed from "Bobbins" to "Scary Go Round" now to "Bad Machinery." I have to admit that I've gotten into "Bad Machinery," written and drawn by Manchester-based cartoonist John Allison. Anyway, Dave learned about the Comic Expo and that John Allison would be there, so he suggested that we could go to London to check it out. So that's just what we did and, boy, did I ever feel like an alien in a strange land. Population distribution: under 20, 30%; 20-30, 60%; 30-60, 9.999%; over 60, me! Oh, yeah, and one of the security guards. In any event, the Underground got us where we wanted to go with no trouble and with some effort we finally found John Allison, who was gracious and accommodating when Meisha asked him to do a drawing for Dave on her notebook cover. Here he is doing just that.
