Hey guys, I'll be at A-Kon (http://a-kon.com/) in Dallas this weekend.

I'll be there all three days signing bits of paper and selling some of our every character posters:

http://www.flashasylum.com/db/files/Merc/posterPreview.jpg

We don't sell them online so come by and pick one up. It'll be the only merch item at the table, which makes things nice and simple for all of us.

I'll also be doing some sort of panel(s) but I haven't been told what they are yet. Check back here for updates or just the panel listing when you get to the con.

Should be fun times!

I wonder if someone would be willing to part with their poster for 20 bucks?
Doubtful.

EDIT: Nevermind. I thought you guys were giving them away. It wouldn't make much sense to sell something you just bought.

Why don't you make that poster available on line? You know, it's not like I don't want to meet you, but living in Brazil makes it a bit difficult to go to Dallas ^.^

It might be online at some point.

Not England, are you ever coming to Europe? I love your humour and I read your strips everday, but being from Spain makes things so complicated...
I have a solution! Come to Barcelona's Comic Convention this weekend!! XD
I'll want this poster when you sell it online, will you tell people when you're goinf to sell it?

I would (will?) buy one online too.... Everyone seems to have an excuse, mine is that I live in France. It already sucks most of the time, but this time it's particularly shitty. :cut:
Whatever, it seems like you have money to make here :yes:

I'm debating if the A-Kon entry price is worth being able to go and buy the poster. 45$ for a poster...

A-Kon's a pretty cool place regardless of the poster. Fun stuff to see and do.

If you make the poster available online, please remember that we (common mortals) would like it to have a decent resolution so we can print it.

Or else, maybe you could send it to our addresses and save us some time, because we have to work/study/sleep/eat/wank. And because time is money, maybe work/study/sleep/eat/wank is money. And because I live in Portugal, I guess I'm poor so I don't want to lose any money while wanking.

Thank you, you (ass)holiness.

It is a pity not being able to go and buy a poster.

I love your work and I send all my friends a cartoon that I like or applied to any subject. I collect every cartoon you have published. I love your work and I'd love to have a poster.

Shame that I live in Mexico. Not far away, but I canīt go.

Hmmm, I wonder what it would cost me to go to Dallas from Denmark, with stay and food and entry fee and ofc the poster...
Probly not worth it... but then again a signed poster with all the Cyanide and Happiness characters would be priceless...

I was there, and I gotta say, going to you're little set-up was the best, Rob. It was my first convention ever, but even then I'm not sure if the whole idea of free sketches was something new or not, but still... fuckin' brilliant. Not only was getting a sketch from you the best thing that happened, but it was cheapest (so of course I was willing to pay 10$ to snag myself an "every character" poster). And it was made simple & easy at that. I wish I knew we were free to giving you themes, though... Love the work, hope to see you (and get another sketch, maybe??) again. Anyone else that went and got a sketch?? I'd love to see them, and I'd be willing to show you mine (not to boast, but it's pretty long). PM me if you have one or are curious about mine.

05-31-2009, 11:17 PM

If so, don't put the poster online until after you've been. I want at least some of the time I own to be able to call it Limited Edition.

You mentioned something about posting the sketches on the forums at your table at A-kon, so here goes it, because I'd hate to disappoint the all knowing Rob.

Btw, I loved my sketch. Its my facebook profile picture now. Thanks so much Rob!

So you're trying to sell a poster on ebay that is signed by me, a friend of mine and some guy who I don't really know that came behind the booth?

Could you modify the description so it's more accurate?
