The Return of Comic Con

[King Red]

I have just attended the San Diego Comic Convention 2021 Special Edition. It was very fun. This was a smaller than average event, with an estimated 40,000 to 60,000 attendees instead of the 160,000 attendees normal before the pandemic. In my opinion, the smaller size is a positive, because I am a conservative who believes the old days were better. The exhibition hall did not feel clogged, people were not camping to attend panels, and parking beneath the San Diego Convention Center was readily available for those who could arrive by 7 AM.  I attended a panel for Brent Spiner and a panel for Greg and Karen Evans, who make the Luann comic strip.got an autograph from Gigi Edgley, and experienced a Kobayashi Maru moment playing the Artemis Star Trek bridge simulator game.

 

This is not to encourage more people to attend the Comic Con, but to try the smaller convention instead; smaller conventions could be enormous amounts of fun.
