New comic! You'd think I'd be better at being a normal person around other comic artists, having done this for about 7 years, but last year's TCAF has definitively shown me that this is just not possible. I've been on the other side of this, by the way, people meeting me as Robot Hugs and being flustered, and I know for a fact that the awkward flailing isn't nearly as obvious as you think it is, and anyways it's kind of flattering. But any time I get on the other side of that table I want to be all cool and be like 'oh, yes, as a fellow comicperson...' and instead I'm always just FLAIL PANIC RUN AWAY. Anyways if you're not all reading The Last Halloween you're losing out.
