Huh, thats a tad odd, meeting Dale for the first time he'a clearly an amicable guy and (despite some creative disagreements) liked him very much but this seem's strange. How can someone be banned from a convention?

I understand that he was already banned due to previous behaviour, and was removed from the premises this time because of that. From personal experience, I can say that having a disagreement with Dale can land you on the receiving end of behaviour that is anything but amicable.

Banned for life from a convention? It all sounds a bit like Evan Dorkin's Eltingville comics.

I had a great time catching up with people. Thanks to everyone who came to the screenings, especially John Wagner. And thanks to Mike and Rebellion for giving permission for the public screenings.

Glad to hear the little 'evidence bags' went down well. I was considering putting the stickers across the zip seal so that they had to be ripped to open them, but thought that might be too cruel to John Burdis, thought I'm sure Rob Stewart would have appreciated it.

A great time all round, even with the voice in the back of my head saying "will the film file work" only finally silenced at 11.45 on the Sunday.

I met Dale on the Saturday night, he was perfectly amicable. I'm sorry to hear he got asked to leave.

So threatening people with violence is acceptable behaviour, as long as he doesn't do it you?

Okayyy...

(Note also that he's banned from this forum, something you have to work pretty fucking hard to manage, for repeated warnings about aggressive behaviour towards other posters.)

No, it's not. I have no knowledge of those previous incidents, he may well have fully deserved his ejection, but in any case I think it's a shame it came to that.

Well while its a great sketch from Jon Davis Hunt of more significence is how cool is his signature!

A more mature less bitter man would be delighted to hear what a wonderful time seems to be had by one and all and I'd revel in  the clearly magnicient fun you've all had.

Alas I'm a small minded bitter man who missed this for the second year on the bounce so I'll settle for twisted resentment at all the glorious stuff fun and frolics you've clearly had.

You'll be attending the 40th bash, Colin?

That'll more than make up for missing TB.

I am (hence missing TB) can't wait...

Oh, did I mention the Wagner panel? Involving possibly the funniest misinterpretation of a script by and artist i've ever heard. Early 2000AD was as much an editorial omnishambles as a joy, apparently.

Was it the John Cooper 'Dredd posted a heavy guard on the door'?

Nope - try again

One down side of TB, I've definitely got some form of mild con-fluenza coming on.

Dunk! *sniff*

I think I've heard the story before, but it was a MACH 1 story, and would have involved a bit of art bodging.

[LARF]

It was the story of a Spanish artist (not Carlos) who misinterpreted the instruction, "he waves his prosthetic arm high in the air." or something suchlike...

What a convention!! I think I've just about recovered.

It was great to meet up with old forum friends and new on the Friday and Saturday night in the Palace.

Me and Neil McClements never really stopped, it was so, so busy. Saturday lunchtime was just manic!

Killing Moon issue 1 and 2 sold well as did my prints.

Highlights:
Seeing the smile of the faces of the guys who picked up their commissions.
The SD film (just fantastic)
Meeting John Wagner.
Finally meeting Chris Denton (writer of Killing Moon)
Meeting SKD, bloody hell what a humble guy.

Roll on Thought Bubble 2017!

Here's a little write up of what I got up to over the weekend. There are a few pictures, so you don't have to read all the words
