If you’re curious what a car with a Vin Diesel navigation system might be like, I drew a sketch that you can view if you vote for Theater Hopper over at Top Web Comics. (I’ll be talking about my affiliation with Top Web Comics in another post. So stay tuned for that).
As it pertains to this weekend’s Fast & Furious (note the conspicuous absence of the word “The”), we spent a little time discussing the tag line on Monday night’s episode of The Triple Feature.
All three of us are excited for this movie and no one is more surprised by that than I am. I’m not really a car guy and I was also kind of annoyed by the super-modding trend that seemed to take hold after the original movie came out. Don’t even get me started on Tokyo Drift. What a pile of garbage that film was!
But the original movie was an engaging twist on the action genre and I have to admit my heart fluttered a little bit when I learned that they were able to bring back everyone in the original cast.
Then again, when you’ve been stuck in movies like The Pacifier, Into The Blue, D.E.B.S. and BloodRayne for the better part of a decade, it makes sense to show up in a film like this. I guess you CAN go home again.
I’ll be at the Emerald City Comicon in Seattle this weekend, so I don’t know if I’ll have an opportunity to see Fast & Furious. My time off the show floor will probably be spent doing something else. I mean, I love movies. But I’ve also never been to Seattle. So it would be kind of lame if I spent two hours watching Vin Diesel flex instead of… I dunno… drinking a Starbucks coffee.
If you’re planning on attending Emerald City Comicon, don’t forget to visit me on Artist Alley. I’m in the back, near the gaming area at table H-05. Here’s a link to a map of the show floor. I’m on the opposite side of the entrance, so just skip past all those other exhibitors and retailers and see me first! I’ll be selling copies of Theater Hopper Year One and Year Two, plus my Spoiler I and II t-shirts and also original sketches. I have limited inventory since I’m only bringing what I can cram into a suitcase. So if you have your eye on something, be sure to get there early!
Or, just come by and chat me up for a while! I’m very interested to talk to my West Coast fans and I’ll sign anything you like.
Don’t forget that I will also be sitting on the Business of Webcomics panel at 1:00 PM, Sunday, April 5 in panel room 3AB with Robert Khoo from Penny Arcade, Danielle Corsetto from Girls With Slingshots and Jeph Jacques from Questionable Content. I’m really looking forward to it. It’ll be a good time.
That’s pretty much all I have for the moment. Be sure to check back later in the day for an brief post about my re-affiliation with TopWebComics.com.
Talk to you soon!
