Mark's Comic-Con Schedule 2002

Here's my panel schedule from 2002 and it answers the question of when we started doing the Quick Draw! game there.  We did it first at WonderCon earlier that year with the cartoonists drawing on easels with no projectors.  At this Comic-Con, we first did it in a huge room with projectors.  You'll notice there's still but one Cartoon Voices panel and it's in Room 8 which, at most, holds 340 people.  They told me they'd turned hundreds away.  This is also the year when I somehow managed to host the Ray Bradbury/Julius Schwartz panel and the Cartoon Voices panel even though they overlapped.  Don't ask me how I did that but it helped that they were in rooms across the hall from each other.

Also, this schedule shows something that couldn't help but sadden many of us.  The previous year in 2001, we had the fine artist and gentleman John Buscema on three panels.  Here in 2002 as you can see, we had a tribute/memorial to him.

Keep in mind that these are the people who were supposed to be on these panels. Every so often, someone didn't show up and/or someone was added…
