Cool! Looks like you guys were having a great time, Shaak!
And yes... working for a comics publisher was definitely fun. It wasn't like I worked for one of the big names, though, and it certainly wasn't exactly the best-paying job. Truthfully, unless you're one of the marquee pencilers or writers for one of the big publishers, it's not a business in which you can make a lot of money. But it was worth it just for the experience and the exposure to related industries (design and publishing in my case).
And you're correct-- this is the "photo" thread, so I'll try to dig up some pics of me at one of the cons or something. I haven't seen any of them in about a decade, so depending on how embarrassed I am when I see how I looked back then will determine if I post 'em here! ;)
