I’m showing my age a bit here (as that’s never happened before) with the Miss Kitty reference, but who else showed our 50s/60s western lawmen a good time? Damn straight, Miss Kitty.
Bud and Lily will be at a comic convention this week. 1977 was a year for a couple big conventions, most notably it’s the year the New York Comic Con was NOT in New York. In celebration of my first comic convention appearance this weekend, I had to have my gang tag along.
I’m also bending the rules a tad by featuring a Deborah (Debby) Harry song from 1989. Now, it’s not totally off, as she was in Blondie in the 70s, so her material is fair game. But, how could I NOT use this song to kick off comic convention week? That’s right… As a bonus, I am tossing in the William Tell Overture as well for you Lone Ranger fans!

Bud’s looking more buff than the Lone Ranger ever did in any of the images and clips I’ve seen 😀
I’ve never seen Gunsmoke either, but it’s impossible not to know about it. Oh, and our ancient moggie is called Miss Kitty, so there 🙂
Wow they even dressed up for conventions back then.
HA!! What fun!
Here’s hoping your very first convention is loads of fun. You deserve to have a blast! I wish I could go so I could hang out with one of my favourite comic writers. Yeah I’m talking about you! 😉
Hate to be That Guy, but there’s a lone “a” ranging in the first paragraph – “the a her first comic convention”.
“TO a her first comic convention.”
It’s contagious!
I hope to attend the Anaheim Comic Con this upcoming weekend myself. It will be the first one I’ve ever gone to.
I have been to game cons as Cassy from Hack and Slash (even wore skull panties), Britianny Miller from Sorority girls versus Zombies, a Chorus line tuxedo lady and a Weimar show girl and Morticia Adams any excuse to doll up. But not to large scale comic cons though I’d enjoy dressing as Miss Kitty if some one escorted me dressed as the Lone Ranger. If I went to a comic con with a group dressed as a star trek landing party. I’d do it on the condition that I get to wear a mini dress, matching panties and those sexy boots. I’d even pay Bud’s ticket as he wore the pants just to have an escort. Who wants to wear the pants anyway?
