	Hey, it's Nice Guy creators Michael O'Connell and Tim Watts, fresh off their live TV interview from the day before.
	Here's Nice Guy artist Tim Watts hanging out at the event, while his girlfriend Tammy hides from the camera. I think she just realized she's dating a comic book artist...
	And here's Valentine creator and Nice Guy pal Dan Cooney, smiling because he's created enough material to get that fat trade paperback cash...
	Shoppers young and old are lined up at A-1 Comics to buy their copies of the Nice Guy! Well, okay, we can pretend...
	Ooh, looky! The creative process at work! Here's Tim reading my latest script and outlining the strip, and asking himself, as usual, "He wants me to draw WHAT?"
	Can you SEE that line? Amazing what a Nice Guy TV spot will do to bring people to your store, isn't it?
	Another look at the line, and at some of the neat stuff you can buy at A-1 (including some great bumper stickers). I swear, I didn't buy that Supergirl statue! I was just...getting it as a gift for someone...
	More A-1 shoppers running the friendly A-1 staff RAGGED. Is there such a think as combat pay in comic retail?
	Here's Mike taking a pic with Nice Guy pal Randy, and Nice Guy pal A.T.'s daughter Parker Rose...the future of Nice Guy fandom!
	Speaking of Randy, here he is in a shot with both Mike and Tim (so he can prove to people he knows them both! Honest!).
	There's A.T.! He popped down to the event with Parker to show support...and help prove our theory that having a cute kid around draws people to the table...
	Here's Mike posing with A-1 warrior Ruthie (also an avid Nice Guy pitch queen...and the one who brings us drinks and snacks at these things. Thanks, Ruthie!)
	And finally, here's Mike and Dan Cooney, hard to recognize without a couple of pints in their hands...
