CON CRUD!!!!

In the three years I have done comic cons, I have never fallen victim to this illness from Hell. I have only read about this plague on social media… and to be honest, I thought this was stuff of folklore. The tale I hear is that ghosts of Artist’s Alley past walk the floors of shows everywhere, coughing and sneezing on all the vendors.

It all began 10 years ago following the death of Artist Alley newbie Sidney Von Eric de Santigo. He contracted the mumps at a small, one time comic con in Dallas called Dallas Stocks Con. On Sidney’s deathbed, he uttered a curse to all that follow him in Artist’s Alley. His curse was to spread a plaque to all the vendors selling bootleg prints.

Dallas Stocks Con was filled with so called artists selling bootlegged prints. Turns out one of the vendors had traveled to India for his cheap prints and brought back the mumps virus. The bootleg vendors scored huge and the artists all sold nothing. Sidney lost his fortune, his mind and his life to the bootleggers.

So, why does everyone catch the Con Crud? Sidney was legally blind and there are no glasses in the after life. Everyone knows that. Duh.

So, I caught Con Crud. I feel terrible. Why are doctors not working on a vaccine for Con Crud? When I get well, I am going to start a petition for a cure. This stinks. I feel like I have the flu, but not quite as bad… but bad. My mind is racing, which is the opposite of the rest of my body. I am sluggish and feel like I just wanna go to bed. Bleh!!!!

Oh yeah, INKtober!!! Today we have Turtle as Eric Carr from KISS. What? You do not know who he is? SHAME ON YOU!!!! I would go into his story but… Con Crud… I am zapped. Look it up on Wiki. 🙂
