Comic-Con Memories

And here, we flashback to show you my schedule of panels at the 2002 Comic-Con International.

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.
