Okay, here’s my booty from the show… One of my favorite San Diego dealers is Van Eaton Galleries. Friendly folks who always seem to have some animation art I want at a price I can afford. Last year at Van Eaton, I bought a piece of Scrappy-related art that featured a little kid who looked like Harpo [...] “This is the level where Daffy has to kill all the enemies…” –woman at Warner Bros. booth explaining a new Daffy Duck video game that sounds like a good argument for federal legislation against character abuse If I had had to pay for a hotel room at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, I probably wouldn’t have [...] Yup, I’m at the San Diego Con.
