Ever since my first convention guest appearance at I-Con I've been receiving tonnes of E-mail asking me "When are you going to be at a convention where I live?"
Well that depends on when I'm invited to be at a convention near where you live. If I had it my way I'd attend every convention everywhere a fan of mine wants to meet me, but it's not up to me. It costs quite a bit of money to fly a guest to and from a convention as well as lodge them while they're there. This is why convention organizers only book guests they are certain will draw people to the convention. As a result, your best bet to see me at your local convention is to contact your convention organizers and tell them that you and your friends want to see me at the convention. If enough people request my presence at a convention then it is much more likely that the convention organizers will invite me.
If you are a convention organizer then you should know that I'm a very low maintainance guest. All I require is transportation to and from the con, as well as lodging while at the con. I live in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada and the nearest international airport to where I live is in Toronto although there is a smaller airport here in Hamilton and I do believe it has flights to some US cities near the Great Lakes.
If invited to your convention I will place a 120x120 advertisement linked to your convention's website in the adboxes that appear on my site for at least a month if the invitation is confirmed in time (longer if possible) as well as promote the convention in my newsbox.
As for readership numbers and pageviews. My comic has more readers than most print comic books including such titles as Spectacular Spider-Man and The Incredable Hulk. As well my site gets over 3/4 of a million pageviews each month. Not bad for a comic that only publishes once a week.
So if you'd like me to appear at your convention feel free to e-mail me ghastly@tms2.net with the details. Provided I don't already have another booking and you're able to transport and billet me I'll be there. Don't forget to include the password "TENTACLE" in the subject header or my spam filters will automatically delete your e-mail.
I look forward to meeting all my fans at a convention near them.
