WE’RE GOING TO BENT-CON!

Posted on November 5, 2014 by twogargs

Have you heard of Bent-Con? It’s a fantastic convention dedicated to LGBTQ creatives and their works! From their website: “BENT-CON is the premiere convention that celebrates and recognizes LGBTQ (and Allies) contributions to pop-culture and geekdom. BENT-CON is committed creating a space where EVERYONE is safe to share and express their particular brand of creativity and fandom proud and out loud!”

Writer Michael McAdam and Artist Jeremy Thew will be there this upcoming weekend, November 7-9, at the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel and Convention Center. Come say “hi” to us in the Exhibitor’s hall!

We’re super pleased to debut a fun new art piece at this con– Superhero ABC’s! Starring– yes– the GROINS of famous superheroes! All in one.. ‘ahem’ — package! Art by Jeremy Thew, colors and formatting by the hardest workin’ man in art business, Mike Rieger!

We wanted to have something fun to show at the con, so what better than posters, throw pillows and tote bags with an in-your-face design? We also started a Redbubble store with these designs on pillows, travel mugs, stickers and more– we picked a few random designs for single pillows but if you want a particular pillow, just drop us a line!

Of course we’ll have our Gargoyles Magnets with us (available on our Etsy Store) and all our great comic titles (which you can purchase online via Indyplanet!) Support creativity! Support freedom! If there’s one thing big super-groins need…it’s support! Hope to see you all at Bent-Con!

Latest Comic!

Years ago, there was a Molson Canadian beer commercial where a character named Joe rants about what it means to be Canadian. It electrified Canada, as it was to date the most national pride ever espoused publicly; we are, after all, a quiet and reserved bunch. But “I am Canadian” became a standard, an oft-quoted piece of Canadiana that served to unite us, to remind us of who we were, and to stand proudly because of it.

A beer commercial, for god’s sake, but a classic rant for the ages, nonetheless! Here, today, I present my Canadian super hero, Thunder, with his own version of the classic rant. Words by Michael McAdam, art by Joe Davis.

THUNDER: I AM CANADIAN

I drink Slurpees in wintertime.

I put on a toque, not a beanie.

I wear shorts when it’s snowing outside.

I know the difference between “poutine” and “Putin.”

If I break my arm, it’s free to have it fixed.

I live where a moose can walk through the drive-thru at the Tim Horton’s.

I have a Prime Minister, not a Governor, and we will NEVER be the 51st state.

I believe in the rule of law, not a cult of personality.

I am polite, but I am in no way weak.

We are the first nation of “fool around and find out,” and our country is as vast as our courage.

We do not tolerate intolerance; we accept all people as they are, in our cultural mosaic.

We are the country of Anne of Green Gables, and Anne Murray. We produced Captain Kirk and Superman. We invented basketball, the zipper, the telephone and insulin, among others.

Canada is the True North, Strong and Free, and we are second to no one.

My name is Thunder, and I AM CANADIAN.
