APE: The Photo Post

SUCCESSLESS GOES APE!


Partially because I am lazy and partially because I am responsible for most of these photos, I'm responsible for the photos from APE. A word of warning: a large majority of these are blurry because we are sorta shy and didn't want people to know we were taking photographs. Either way, we hope you enjoy!
















From the radtacular Top Shelf Table from left to right: Jennifer Daydreamer, Aaron Reiner, Liz Prince (who seems to be checking Dylan out), and a shy Jeffrey Brown.

Becky Cloonan and Vasilis Lolos have got to be the most hardcore comic couple out there. They had a joint project on their table Nebuli, which looks awesome and he also helped her out on East Coast Rising

Next, we ran into Sophie of Gumpop and her friend. Too bad the guy we asked to take our picture is a bad with this camera as I am.



While waiting with Dylan for James Jean, I recognized Ian from
Brill Building and I awkwardly initiated an introduction. He is as intimidatingly smart and funny in person as I thought he would be. He also later introduced us to Graeme from Fanboy Rampage. Awesome comic blogger fun!




If you can make it out, which I doubt you can, here we have a lovely Derek Kirk Kim handbinding a delightful mini appropriately named Lowbright. He's so rad. Enough said.










After a couple double-takes, I got so fangirly from seeing two of my absolute favorite cartoonists together that I made Dylan take this. Not too shortly after this was taken Dan Clowes pushed his son in his stroller. I think I got a little chocked up.




The floor starts to clear as the day winds down.


























And Dylan tries unsuccessfully to mate with his Tomasz Kaczynski minis. I throw a fit and shread them to pieces.


I'm totally kidding.





Then we head over to the Giant Robot/MOME After Party Signing thing....



Dylan plays it cool while I try not using the flash some more. Why didn't I learn my lesson? Why God, why?

The crowd vies for the trio's attention in the laid-back way the hipster set of the West Coast can offer.




Anders smiles pretty for me while Dylan tries his hardest to stifle his excitement for the amazing sketch Anders did for him.
