Featuring Betty Felon and her ridiculous “worst fear” she shared with me at San Diego Comic Con: Tony Jaa/Ong-Bakking a toddler in the face.

Back story: Despite the “no stroller policy” upheld for certain events at San Diego Comic Con, there were SO MANY STROLLERS in the crowded exhibit hall. While I really love seeing families at conventions, there gets to a point where the crowds are pretty hazardous for little kids, let alone the adult attendees. After accidentally walking into a handful of strollers, I developed this fear of tripping into a stroller and kneeing the residing baby in the face. I shared my completely rational concern with my friends while we were walking around the convention.
And then Randy made a comic about it.

I’m not a girl who’s particularly crazy about cars - I just want a reliable car with good suspension (of disbelief).
I will be spamming my Tumblr with SDCC photos throughout the week. Get ready.
