At The Comics Reporter, Tom Spurgeon lists Evan Dorkin as one of the five pros to visit at New York Comic-Con, which is going on even as I type! Of course, I am here in San Jose, where it has turned to spring and everyone is dancing with bunny rabbits. Spurgeon writes, "It's not a New York con unless you get to talk to Evan Dorkin. Track him down at the Slave Labor booth, and encourage him to do something with his great, recent monster drawings." True, true! We love those monster drawings, too, so much so that we are looking into doing something with them. (Mysterious mystery!)
Here's an example of what you might get from a visit with Evan Dorkin, filmed at last year's New York Comic-Con by Matt of Drawn.ca.
One of five questions about NYCC listed in the same post is "How long will Jhonen Vasquez's line be?" Answer: Longer than you want it to be. Bring provisions for yourself, but please don't try to feed the artist. It only means SLG staffers have to throw away cans of corn and other useless junk later.

I've sat a few seats away from Evan at a few conventions now and never spoke to the guy!
His accent is awesome. No one has a real accent around here. Though I can often tell when people are from Southern California as opposed to the Bay Area. Hey, go tell Jhonen that he talks like someone from Southern California. I dare you.
That story didn't go anywhere, I apologize.
