2009 CON SCHEDULE   >>



QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS   >>

    Q: Can I suggest a con?

    A: If there’s a con where you’d like to see us or think we’d do well at please let us know. Unfortunately, due to the cost of travel most cons outside of the New England area are out of our reach for the time being. Sorry.

    Q: I’m affiliated with a con and would like to invite you as a guest. What should I do?

    A: That would be wonderful! If you’re interested in having us come to your con, please drop us an email and we’ll work out the details.

    Q: I’m not affiliated with a con but would love to see you at my favorite con as a guest. What should I do?

    A: That’s also wonderful! In this case, the best thing to do is suggest us to the con chairmen. And get your friends to suggest us too!

    Q: I like sketchbooks but hear you don’t do them. Why not?

    A: We’re sorry, but cons are a place for us to meet people, talk shop, have fun spending time together with friends and advertise the comic. They’re also a time when Darc can rest her wrist. We can’t do those if she spends her whole time cranking out sketchbooks. If you catch Darc in an Artist Lounge or The Zoo of a con and you ask her nicely, chances are good she’ll say yes. But stockpiling books, taking “homework” back to the room or working at the table is just not our thing.

    Q: I ordered some books from you earlier. If I bring them to a con, will you sign them for me?

    A: Of course! Please feel free to stop by.

    Q: If I buy a book at a con will you do a sketch in it for me?

    A: Certainly. Tell us who your favorite character is and away we go. We just ask that you remember this will be a quick pen sketch and not too detailed.

    Q: If I see you at a con can I touch you?

    A: Define touch. We’re been hearing reports of some rather disturbing behavior at conventions, especially towards women. While Darc is a short woman she will not tolerate being groped, glomped or fondled. Attempts to do so will end with her smothering your sinuses with pepper spray - if you’re lucky. If you’re not lucky… let’s just say Matt is a very large and protective husband.

    Seriously folks, we’re comfortable with touches that are considered the social norm - handshakes, a slight pat on the shoulder, a hug if we know you - but anything more “intimate” is not welcome. Sorry.
