Hunting the Comibukus Nerdus
Braving the trek down I-5, and through the urban jungle of downtown Seattle, I made my way to explore the elusive beast rarely seem outside of his natural habitat. These creatures of near mythical nature goes by many names: comic geek, fanboy & Grandma’s baby boy. Also known as Comibukis Nerdus in latin. My futile search for more information on this subculture returned very little results. The library barely had any literature on these creatures; all I could find were comments about something called “Furries” and “Cosplayers”. Clutching a can of mace firmly with one hand and a crucifix in the other, I opened the doors to the Washington State Convention Center and entered the Emerald City Comic Con.
My hunt would soon be proven far easier than I had at first expected, not only do the Comibukis Nerdus travel in herds much like the South American Alpacas (Vicugna pacos), but also they like to wait in line for long periods of time waiting to be let in to the holding pens (also known as the convention floor).
