The Paradise Toronto Comicon is always a good time. The convention focuses mainly on comics, without the typical additions of large sections for gaming, horror, sci-fi, manga, cosplay, video games, mainstream movies and tv promotions and cow tipping.

Most of the TX crew were there, and most had their list of sketch requests filled up quickly. Visitors to the nook of the Holiday Inn where we were all stationed were friendly and full of good vibes, like a Huey Lewis single. It was nice to be in a corner of a carpeted room with large windows to the outside pouring sunshine in on us instead of being stuck in the back of an airplane hanger style industrial space some conventions take place at.

We joined friend of TX, Danielle Corsetto (who does the great Girls With Slingshots webcomic), our buddy Tyrone McCarthy (Corduroy High) and Jeff Moss and Dan Simon of No Reason (who we didn’t know before but quickly grew to find funny and friendly). We’ve done a few panels before but this one was probably the best one we’ve done, with lots of kibitzing around and actual information imparted to people curious about starting their own webcomics. Our best advice: Use Comic Press!
