Things were going swimmingly at the NY Comic Con. I had more sketches of the Mad Hatter than I ever had before, I had purchased enough issues of Detective Comics to alllllmost have every issue from 600 to the present (850-something), and my friend Nadir Balan was getting a lot of good feedback on his portfolio. Life was good.

Until CC Banana showed up!

This yellow-clad superhero of celebrity justice demanded to know whence I came and wither traveling. I was not going to share my secret Comic Con plans with this master of the microphone!

“Let me pass,” I said. CC Banana pleaded with me, “Either you let me know your secret Comic Con plans, or I’ll have to use my great magicks!” And as a man who interviews people dressed as a banana, I knew he was serious. I had to think of a plan fast.

I confronted CC, ready to use all of the powers of Wizarduniverse.com against him in an attempt to shake his demonic stare.

THEN HE ATTACKED! He fought with crane style, dragon style, and toad style. He fought with the 7 Deadly Palms of Vegetables. I was overpowered!

But all was well. CC Banana took off his yellow glasses and I realized that he meant no harm. We were friends again.

Then we formed an AWESOME mega alliance of awesome and our combined powers will rock your faces until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard. Forget it, Jake. It’s Rock Town.

(the truth of the story is that I haven’t seen my pal CC in a while so this was just a conversation we were having taken at weird angles. The attack was actually a hug. Check out his blog, he’s gonna have some good con coverage of his own)

(also, my secret Comic Con plan was to take a picture of this guy:

(yes, that’s a hot dog)
