Photos From LexingCon!!

By Jeremy Meltingtallow

Recently I was a guest at the second annual LexingCon in Lexington, NC! I was very honored when invited to attend! What a fun day we all had!  If you missed it this year, please try to attend next year.

In addition to meeting many wonderful Snuffy fans, I also gave a presentation to the crowd about the Barney Google and Snuffy Smith comic strip and participated in a panel discussion.  There were also costume contests, cosplay contests and other events all day long.  Below are some photos from the event…
