Saturday I brought a girl with me, but sadly she was not really interested in comics at all. She liked talking to the old defunct and crabby actors who hung out at their sad little tables in the back and sold weak pictures and autographs for 50$ and more a pop, but she didn't really care as much about the awesome charming comic artists who gave you things for free and had really cheap funny comic books. Anyway, I lured her to Zach's table with a promise of a free sketch by a funny artist, and she grudgingly came over to take a look. (some of this info may be exaggerated to make this post more entertaining, like the word "grudgingly" for instance) So I got a picture first so she could see what his drawing style was like, I asked him to draw a picture of a person in a knit cap in a food fight with a hippo; It was hilarious.
So the girl asked for a picture of Belle from the Beauty and the Beast. I inwardly groaned, I wondered if she understood with her eyes that Zach's art isn't meant to be beautiful to look at. Well he drew a funny picture of a brown haired princess doing a jig.
She smiled and thanked him, and then as soon as we were away from the table, she tried to throw the picture away. I quickly took it and kept it instead and asked her why, and she explained that she had been hoping for a good looking picture, not a ridiculous picture of a stupid looking princess dancing. I then knew for a fact that she did NOT UNDERSTAND ZACH'S ART. Even though she is a cool girl most of the time, I have not asked her on any more dates. Poor girl clearly doesn't understand drawing styles and doesn't really like thinking in general, and is kinda shallow too. I will keep trying until I find someone a little more intelligent.
I've meant to scan these and put them up for quite a while now, but I just haven't gotten around to it. I'd like some input on my formatting as well. should I have thumbnailed these and had them link to imageshack instead because of their size?
