Yes, the story in this strip is true – it took place on October 13, 2007 at the Armageddon Multimedia Expo at the Melbourne Convention Centre. An awesome day, because I got to meet the great voice actor Billy West. Never heard of him? Shame on you. Go watch some cartoons. In particular, The Ren And Stimpy Show, where he voiced both Ren and Stimpy (at first only Stimpy), and also Futurama, where he is the voice of Fry, the Professor, Zoidberg and Zapp Brannigan. Here's a fun bit of trivia for you: the 'denim metal dude' I was standing behind in the queue to meet Billy is the exact same person I was standing behind in the queue to get into Manifest (Melbourne Anime Festival) at Melbourne Uni in 2006. Believe it or not, this is actually true!
