It's been a long day at Comic Con. I'm drinking a beer in my hotel room. It's an Arrogant Bastard Ale. It has a devil holding a beer as part of its logo. After yesterday, this seems appropriate. I should be writing about the clones of Stan Lee or the "Spartacus Boobies and Wangs" panel that followed Smilin' Stan, but I'm burnt. Instead, I leave you with a few more of the photos that I shot of the geeky counter-protest to Fred Phelps and his Westboro Baptist crazies (crazy like a fox, yes). Some readers have expressed an interest in these.
Here is my article from yesterday on the Westboro Baptist protest of Comic Con and the nerdy counter protest, plus an interview with Margie Phelps, Fred Phelps' daughter.

Bender from "Futurama" holds up a sign that reads "Kill All Humans" while a comparatively average looking human alleges that the Supreme Being despises baby cats.

Some counter-protesters gathered across the street from Phelps and his crew instead of along side of them, so that the Westboro Baptists could see their signs.

God Hates Jedi. Spoken like true Starfleet officer.

San Diego PD kept the Westboro Baptists apart from the nerdy counter protest.

Comic Con goers hastily make signs to launch their spontaneous counter protest.

"Odin is God. Read 'The Mighty Thor' #5" Great sentiment but there is no "Mighty Thor" #5. Thor began in "Journey Into Mystery" #83. After the success of the Thunder God's adventures, Marvel renamed remaned "Journey into Mystery" "The Mighty Thor" starting with issue 125. 'Nuff Said.

PWNed!
Great sentiment but there is no "Mighty Thor" #5.
Also very funny on your part, Bob.
Thanks for these. They made me smile.
You still here in town?
Thanks Rob and Progressive Liberal. I couldn't resist commenting on the whole "Journey Into Mystery" thing with that caption. Glad you noticed.
Bob you are such a Marvel geek. Allow the protester creative license fer chrissakes, it is for a good cause!!!
