I succumbed to the gothness and went to the Jhonen Vasquez signing. Since I went to the comic book store before I went shopping I got a low number for my place in line. So I was in line next to all the suburban kids that are really fucking annoying.
Next to weird comic book guy, I was probably the oldest person there. Or maybe it just felt like it since I was one of the few non-goth dressed people. The girl in line next to me asked how/when I heard about Jhonen Vasquez and I told her that a high school boyfriend had a JTHM comic probably somewhere around 1995. She laughs, “I was 3 in 1995.” :(
I told Jhonen that I saw him at the same comic book store 10 years ago. He signed a comic for me then too but it was left with an evil ex about 6 years ago. Which is really the reason I went. I lose very few physical things (I won’t get angsty and talk about the emotional things I lose) to bad relationships. I wanted to replace this thing.
And there is Jhonen looking just as cute as he did 10 years ago. Damn you purple hair boys!
I had him sign comics for a couple people but this one is mine.
