Returning to the real world after three days of awesome at Word Wide Wing Night and Fear the Con 4 in St. Louis was brutal for your Funnybooks hosts. But at least Warren Beatty had a good week., what with winning his rights back to make a Dick Tracy film. And, hey, Neonomicon ended with […]
On day two of Fear the Con 4, your Funnybooks hosts settled down to enjoy some lunch and chat about the con. Since Wayne was otherwise engaged, John Stephens of Thistledown Actual Play was employed to fill the role of Fake Wayne (aka False Wayne or Fool’s Wayne). We were joined by comedian Mikey Mason […]
