Wait.. is.. is that a hipster indie comics news elf?!


Maybe. He also looks like the kind of character who is doomed to be overschadowed by the hero forever and ever. The four-eyes.

I have a friend who's into some indy comics but he knows I'm not into them... and he knows I'm into Manga and Anime but he doesn't "get it", but we respect each other & try to keep a open mind and never force our views onto one another.


You could meet eachother halfway and read some underground comics from Japan Smile

Calling it now, Nina and hipster news elf will start off bashing each others hobbies, pointing out the negative aspects of each. Then a small kid will walk by saying "Ewww, you both like comics!" Or something to that effect, and both will try desperately to defend comics, Kevin meets hipster elf, goes mad with jealousy!

IT'S BRILLIANT!

One thing I like about ANN: if the character portrayals are unfamiliar in Robin's strips (apparently I'm not a true believer) all I have to do is come to the comment section to fill in the blanks. LOL Good job, you guys!

Hoo boy. I knew that guy looked familiar. All the more reason it's a different comic fest. I'm going to have to attend one of those events one days. I have yet to check out the local Mocca fest.

I think we could be seeing the start of a romance with Nina and the new news elf.

We all have to admit , we have once in our lives screamed out of the top of our lungs in disgust of something. Wink

Nina just did it in the wrong spot, and at the wrong time. Anime hyper

As hilarious as it would be, John Waters still has dark hair and a mustache.

I'm fairly certain it's Daniel Clowes, since he is an indie comic book artist. Plus, the two girls standing next to him (along with "Weird Al") are from his comic "Ghost World", and the drawing in that panel just looks like a Daniel Clowes drawing.

Turns out, Kevin may be disguised as this "new elf", Nina will fall in love with him, and they'll live happily ever after....
or the news elf is just a news elf.
