I was there (The guy with the red shirt and black fedora in Hawk’s pictures) and I remember this, kinda. There was a joke going around about throwing stuff and someone goes “If your going to throw anything, throw money”.

*THWACK!*

It wasn’t an act of maliciousness, just temporary stupidity.

Mel Brooks says after someone throws change up on stage while he was doing a set:

“Y’konw, Only one kind of animal throws a cent.”

Then he looks down and says “Wait, that’s real!” before diving down to scoop up the change.

That was a smooth move on his part.

Sorry to hear some guy threw a dime while you were doing a panel. WHY would he do such a thing?

I mean, it makes no sense.

Well it sounds like you didn’t let that incident dampen your mood about the rest of the con. All I have it say is that some people are really stupid.

I probably would’ve gotten pissed and said “People, tips are supposed to be given at the END of the show” *wait for laughter* *continue drawing*

Let me guess… some kid/immature guy with no common sense thought he was being funny? At any rate, way to keep your cool. That isn’t easy. Just glad you didn’t get seriously hurt.

It seems weird that someone would throw a dime and then appoligize…. huh. Did you at least find out why?

I hope things like this don’t happen often, last thing we need is extra security.

I think it was jealously, so I can see why you let it slide. The prick still should’ve been removed.

Wow. I would probably have just stopped, quietly packed up my stuff and left. The perpetrator would have then ended up getting the fury from the rest of the audience who were there to actually learn something…

O.o Someone actually threw a dime? wtf? I think if I had been able to attend that panel (was still waiting in line outside) then that would have peevd me off. I have alot of respect for you and Ananth, giving us an awesome comic in your own time, and seeing people disrespect you like that isn’t something I would take lightly. Anywho, you seemed to be having fun when I saw you, so I’m glad it didn’t effect you throughout the rest of the con. It was my first con, and I had fun, I got to meet plenty of awesome artists and offered some cookies. XD
