Crowd Control

Every year on Saturday at Comic-Con, I host two back-to-back panels — Quick Draw! and Cartoon Voices I — that fill Hall 6BCF to the point where hundreds of folks who want to get in can't get in. And every year, some person posts on Facebook or somewhere that one or both of these panels failed to attract much of an audience. I don't know why they do this in their off-time from, I'm guessing, handling the fact-checking at Newsmax.

So every year (starting last year), I post a photo of the audience just to remind you that you can't believe everything (and sometimes, even anything) you read on the Internet. Here is a shot from the stage during this year's Quick Draw! game…

If you click on that image, it will get taller and wider on your screen. It was taken by Tom Richmond, who was one of our competing cartoonists in the game. Does that look like not that much of an audience to you?
