Today felt a lot slower than yesterday. I did about half the business I did Saturday. Looking at my numbers, if I’d made it into the room block for dealers I would have just about broken even; not bad for my first time at a con. Add to that the events mentioned yesterday, and I think this was a success – I filled in the form to sign up for next year.
Also, this morning Evan Dahm was talking about Miéville’s “The City & The City” on Twitter. Which lead me to do a quick little sketch of how I’d handle it if I adapted it to a comic – the basic schtick is that it takes place in two cities that share the same location but absolutely nothing else, and it is flat-out illegal to interact with, or take note of anything happening in the city you’re not “in”. I, unsurprisingly, would use different limited palettes to depict things in the two cities.
