2010 San Diego Comic-Con Photos
The majority of costumes at Comic-Con fall into standard categories -- superhero, sex kitten, Ghostbuster, zombie, warrior, zombie warrior. Oh yes, and steampunk. Lots of begoggled hipsters walking around with vaguely antiquarian-looking contraptions on their backs. But some outfits rose above, and here are a few of them:
Me with flyer man. Someone said he does this every year. A Slowpoke postcard was added to the back of his head.
Gotta give it up for the Jackie O's.
Well done, sir.
In a sea of questionably-enhanced bosoms, it was refreshing to see a few dudes objectifying themselves, however goofily. I liked this guy's pluck.
As expected, the con was a grotesque juggernaut of Hollywood crap. But I did have a soft spot for this Lego Spongebob:
And this frighteningly large My Little Pony reminded me of a Jeff Koons sculpture:
Not-so-little pony
It occurred to me that Comic-Con is basically the internet personified. It's What Reddit Looks Like. When you think of it that way, it explains a bunch of internet phenomena. Good lord, I don't even want to imagine all the nerd humping that must have gone on in San Diego over the past few days.
Don't get me wrong, though. I had lots of fun.

I have a friend who works at Nickelodeon’s animation studio and early this month he took me on a tour to the place. They have that Lego SpongeBob in the lobby near the entrance.
Nothing says life like working at a studio that has that in the lobby.

That second photo of the gals in pink is one of the saddest I have ever seen, but then I am old enought to remember JFK’s death. At least they did not duplicate the bloodstains on her outfit.

Floyd, I don’t think they were necessarily dressed as Jackie O on the day Kennedy was shot. Though I understand how they might elicit memories of that horrible day to someone who lived through it.
