Today’s Comic-Con Countdown Notes

* The artist Jesse Hamm has a nice round-up of tips and suggestions here. For instance, I've never thought about making the fact you should empty your bag/backpack/purse at every opportunity a piece of formal advice, but it's a good one. Jesse and I agree on group dinners, too.

* The LA Times has a devoted on-line coverage section in support of the convention.

* Special guest and rare convention-goer Warren Ellis has posted his full schedule. I met Ellis the last time he went to San Diego and took a photo of him for my news files. He seemed so appalled by the place that in the photod he's actually leaning towards the nearest exit.

* I found this routine piece of pre-convention PR from manga giant Viz to be sort of interesting, because the announcement draws on a lot of different tracks from people that work with Viz in addition to the specific things Viz has planned.

* What is... The Toy Growers Cultyard? Read this post for the mystery, and its comments thread for the answer.
