Jan

Here's a recap of the past two weeks! I was hoping to have a new S&S page done this week, but A.) I haven't rested since I got back and B.) I need more prep time. So I hope you'll enjoy this bit of con report and travelogue in the meantime ^^'

Page 1:

"Yes, there is a burning smell" is a phrase that will live perpetually in my memory ^^

Page 2:

Keep an eye out on Shore Fyrebat's Twitter to see what that piece of paper Zinc's holding was all about...

Page 3:

Here are all the sketches I did at the con.

Page 4:

Here's Zelaphas' site and art. Here's the video clip in question. And here's Transmission.

And that be my travelogue. Nine to Nine update coming in a day or two. Swords and Sausages, next week.

Panel 2: The same thing happened to me not long ago.

Panel 36: "Maybe if /I/ pretend to be asleep..."

I was in London for a couple of days in the summer of 1978. It came across as a Monty Python skit with lousy comic timing. Speaking of conventions, I am working on the programming of SpokAnthro; https://www.spokanthro.org/2019/ Grak! (like woof, meow or dude, tone and context give grak its meaning).

Was awesome meeting you in the Dealers Den when I was away from the table I was assisting at. Great to hear you had some familiar names to chat with when you weren't drawing or meeting random fans :3

Despite going to CF and the NEC a couple times, I didn't realise there were faster routes through it. I've now learned something for following years XD

Next year, you have to come to Eurofurence! :-)

Ah, so that explains the slight disappearance….Always wanted to go to anthrocon myself, dunno bout nowadays tho. Between money and the fact Im going to turn 35 this year. Not too sure how well things would work out. =/

@jprime Yep. I drew this with jet lag in full force XD

@Narric Techna It was great meeting you too ^^ I'm glad the route optimization would be useful for somebody!

Looks like a great adventure, I'm glad you made the trip in reasonable shape, and had a safe return back home! =^^=

Seems that it was a long and interesting travel ; hope you've got fun too ^_^

I dream to go in fur meetings , but the problem is : if i'm lightly good in english front of a screen , it's totally different when it's speaking it X_X

@Adam I totally understand the money problem, this is the main cause of me not attending AC for the first time ins 5 years. But don't worry about age, I met 2 fursuiters in their 70's last year. you are never too old to enjoy yourself!

Glad you had a good trip..., overall. I look forward to seeing if I can recognize some of the British medieval architecture you plan on featuring in S&S!

On your last panel with the ponies, one looked like He's about to raise his tail to take a dump.Just my impression (sorry about that)

Treascair • 06/10/2019

Trip looks like it was AMAZING!

And Jan? Take. Your. Time. We can well damn wait! rest, take a breather, and relax! we're not going anywhere!

Adam • 06/10/2019

@Noir wow, ok. Well I shouldn't feel too out of place. Although 7 ft tigers might still be a pinch out of place cause we can't keep track of all that floof at once. :P Sadly however, the money issue is still an issue. Going through bankruptcy right now. :(

This is why I always bring my own hairdryer on trips, even if we're staying in a hotel. Damn man, you never bend your back to pick up heavy stuff, it's always the legs. Anyway, I hope you took it easy afterwards and your spine is doing much better now. I've been to London a couple times, never thought of going to Big Ben... I feel stupid. I've also been to the other London (Ontario CA) to attend Condition vs The Monsters. Never got around to having any group fun, mainly because I'm socially handicapped and it was my first time in a convention. Glad to hear you had a good time with friends, to make up for all your earlier troubles getting there. Huh, you sold stuff at a charity auction... I got to buy stuff in one, at the end of Condition. Lol those ponies, "not another tourist!" Well I ran out of things to comment, that was a wild ride through and through. But now you got me curious; did pretending to sleep actually help in the end?

@Adam 35years old is still young. I'm 61 and still go to AC and will be there this year. :=3 There are plenty of grey muzzles there. I know about money issues as I had to stop going to cons because of a lack of a paycheck.

Orthank • 06/11/2019

I was so happy to see you at Confuzzled Dealers' Den (I should have checked the dealers list before, maybe I could have had a book this way ^^)

William Carney • 06/12/2019

Good to see you got to see some of the REAL U.K (even if it was just S.W. England) It's not the Cities anymore, it's the countryside.
