Athens is a real nice town and I’d love to chill there more. It’s kind of like a cooler Savannah with lots more to do, all within walking distance of each other. It seems like in Savannah, because of those squares, things are much further away. In Athens, its just perfect.

It’s similar to Savannah because UGA, the University of Georgia, is the town. A lot of things go down on College Ave, like the outdoor concert that was happening across the street from the comics fest. There were plenty of young Georgia students out partying and having a good time. Seems like comics and coeds can coexist, and it is a beautiful thing.

Here are some more pictures from the trip!

Here is the entrance to Tasty World. Go upstairs for Fluke! Oh, make sure you wear your festival button though, or they wont let you in!

This is just a taste of what the inside looks like.

We chilled with Dave and Josh, and gave away our minis at their table. Such great guys, awesome work and attitudes. Thanks again to Dyson Press for the quick printing turnarounds! I recommend them highly for all sorts of publishing.

I probably gave away hundreds of this mini. Of course, Dave had me on some wicked mushrooms, so I don’t exactly remember how much I gave away.

We hit up the Bizarro Wuxtry comics shop. It was a comic place that offered a wide range of comics, specializing in hard to find and rare books. They also had a sweet vinyl shop below it. It is a must for any Fluke attendee, especially when it’s three blocks away from the festival.

It was completely overwhelming.

So many books!

What a great weekend, even if it was a few hours spent actually being somewhere. We had a blast on our car ride, as it was a beautiful drive. I recommend going at least once, and experiencing comics in a completely new and refreshing way. And get some indie points on the way!

Thanks for reading!
