15 Important Lessons for Comic Convention Goers

Use deodorant.
The comic book characters you see aren’t real, they can’t hurt you. Unless it’s someone in a costume, in which case they can hurt you.
There are many things you can say to a celebrity when you go to their signing booth but admitting that you used to fantasize about them every night before going to sleep is not one of them.
Buy something from an indie booth, they’ll go homeless if you don’t. (This likely isn’t true, but you should buy something just to show support).
Use deodorant!
If you’re a grown adult going up against a little kid in a video game, crush them with everything you’ve got! No one will judge you, except maybe the kids parents.
We all know convention food is overpriced. That’s why you stuff some snacks into your costume.
Don’t bother entering any costume contests. They’re all rigged anyway.
Never cut in line. Your fellow nerds will pouch on you like a limited-edition comic book!
Please use deodorant!
Don’t touch people you don’t know. Think about it, would you want a stranger touching you with their icky fingers?
The washed-up Power Ranger from your childhood is just trying to make a living, so please try to humor them with a photo.
Don’t lick any of the props, you’ll regret it. Trust me.
No one will judge you for visiting the Maid Cafe. If you dress up as a maid, then that’s a different story.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE USE DEODORANT!
