Comic-Com
The annual expedition to San Diego for Comic-Con netted the following glimpses into fandom and obsession.

There was a large Star Wars presence, including a number of hybrids. My favorite was the Elvis Trooper.
Igor getting a lesson on trading card games. Hamlet translated into Klingon.
Some fully costumed characters. A dead bear, the Flaming Carrot, an Ugly Doll.
A cast of strange characters.
Obsession taken to amazing heights or lows. The Cat Man.
