THE COMX BOX CARTOONIST GROUP SYNDICATE


****************************************


****************************************

The Spacious Kentucky International Convention Center, Site of The Comx Box Con
(Artist rendition of what the marquee might have looked like if the Kickstarter funding had gone through)

***************************************

Bill Watterson!!!
Stan Lee!!!
Robert Crumb!!!
Gary Larson!!!
These are just a few of the Industry Giants who completely ignored our requests for them to make guest appearances at Comx Box Con.  To be fair, Larson did acknowledge us by filing a restraining order.  Sweeeeet!

**************************************** 

As a renowned name in the industry, Comx Box was able to secure a prime location on the convention floor to display our comics... next to the Men's Room ...behind the support pillar ...across from the air conditioning unit ... kitty-corner to the janitor's supply room. 

****************************************
  
One of the most popular booths was the Dennis Rodman Pierce and Paste Pavilion.

****************************************

The Alison Ward Look-Alike Beauty Contest drew an enthusiastic crowd despite a ban on black string bikinis.

************************************************** 


Safety services at the Comx Box Con were top notch as here we see a few of the conventioneers receiving minor medical attention after having suffered some type of seizures while viewing some of Derrick Wood's, The 17th Radish artwork.

**************************************** 

 There was one unfortunate incident that slightly marred the convention festivities.  Event security teams were called in to the "Kim Jong-un Health Food Court" when a food fight broke out as it was discovered that KJU's idea of eating green was ...Soylent Green.  Making matters worse, the morsels were prepared with MSG.  Comx Box Chief of Security, Ron Warren, states that the rotund one will not be invited back next year.

**************************************** 


Speaking of Ron, here he is with Comx Box Con Co-host, Lady Anne Wehrley at the sumptuous Comx Box hospitality suite.  The waffles and bagels were  big hits with hungry conventioneers and one persistent rodent.

**************************************** 


Despite an injunction filed against him by the Louisville Department of Health and Mental Welfare Services, the entrepreneurship of Derrick Wood shines through as he still manages to sponsor the Toaster Strudel Bar at the CB suite.  Ron smells a rat.  No...seriously, he smells a rat...the darn thing is still hanging around.

**************************************** 


Here we find Ron and Lady Anne signing convention posters for the numerous attendees waiting patiently in line outside of the suite while munching on waffles.

************************************************** 


Here is another great piece of convention art that was co-produced by Lady Anne and Ron.  This piece depicts the lines of fans who met with Lady Anne while the same fans were a bit leery of stopping by Ron's table with his guests, which included a surprise visit from the top two politicians in the world.  That's Ron on the far right wondering if he should have invited Bill and Hillary instead.

**************************************** 

To no one's surprise (ahem), the most sought after piece of convention memorabilia featured two certain Nano'Bots who captured the hearts of thousands during the event.  Here we see Ron beaming as he has been informed by Lady Anne that over 2,000 of the pieces have been signed and sold at $5 a pop.

****************************************

A few moments later, we find a somewhat disgruntled Ron as Lady Anne further informs him that she and the creator of the NanoWorld art had previously signed a contractual arrangement that called for a 50/50 split of NW art sales proceeds strictly between herself and the author.  Ron was last seen checking phone booths for change to take a bus back to his hotel.

**************************************** 

 Following a few too many vodka toasts to cartoons and cartoonists, a certain leader of the Russian Federation makes an unfortunate and off-color remark to Lady Anne who quickly lets the "gentleman" know that his comments are not appreciated.  Here we see Mr. Putin staring down the barrel of Lady Anne's good ol' companion, "The Rat Pacifier" prior to his making a hasty exit from the State of Kentucky.  Russian security forces absconded with Ron's camera which had captured the entire event and so he has provided us with this artistic rendition.

****************************************

A GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!
