THE SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON
Here we are at the San Diego Comic-Con. Judging from the teeming mass of people, I guarantee that if the Sci-Fi enthusiasts – who generally carry the Y-chromosome – get in the way of the estrogen frenzied New Moon fans there will be mayhem.
Exhibitors at the Supernatural Beings Awareness booth were passing out these handy-dandy sweatbands and we learned a few things about Shapeshifters:
1. Shapeshifters can turn into any animal, but lean towards dogs, because everyone loves dogs.
2. They can’t do humans—too complex.
3. Shapeshifters can usually control their ductile impulse, except on a full-moon night. (But that DOESN’T make them a werewolf – but yes, werewolves do exist.)
Rumor has it that Woody and his co-workers are having trouble convincingly faking their delight over Buzz Lightyear’s popularity at the Comic-Con this year. First and foremost among the group would be Mr. Potatohead, with one source claiming the starchy native had gotten “catty” with the space suited hero before adding, “Come on, Slinky. Let’s go play Wii Fit,” and storming out of the cafeteria.
