See that sketch in the top left corner, of the bride and groom? That's Joyce and Walky, title characters of the comic. At the time of the sketch, they had just gotten engaged. As of this post, they are not yet married.
Why am I asking you to pay so much attention to that sketch? Because that's the sketch I asked for at last year's Comic Con!
(Original sketch)
Since they had just gotten engaged and are pretty much the most perfect couple ever, I asked Mr. David Willis for a sketch of them getting married. He laughed that it was cheating but happily sketched it anyway and snapped a picture to show his girlfriend Maggie. In fact, that's me holding it up in the picture! (Maggie, BTW, was a production assistant on WALL-E and her name can be found in the intro credits.)
Anyway, my plug is complete for Mr Willis and his comics. After seeing this, I'm even more disappointed about not going to Comic Con this year. I know I could have gotten out of the admission fee by volunteering but I don't have enough money to buy things and I really just want to support the web comic artists I follow. The list grows every year and the comics get more and more popular. I'm a HUGE web comic geek, so for me SDCC is for them. If I can't help support them through merch and such, I don't really see the point in going. But I hope everyone that goes enjoys themselves and I can make it to next year's.
