Wrong spelling of “Wookiee”, and two different constructs of “Stormtrooper”. At least the Dragon*Con bingo cards get those two right…

I’m pretty sure I could do this also for Dragon*Con in Atlanta.I don’t have the cash for SDCC, so D*C is the closest I get. I’d fall into the “band of steampunks” category.

How would you know if the Spiderman was gay unless you asked? Seems rude.

  Making out with other guys. It happens. People just let it all hang out at conventions.

“Tight Costume” Good?
- Little John
  
  I think that’s Tight costume (good) as opposed to Tight costume (bad), e.g., a 20-year old slave-bikini being worn by a “Princess Leia” who has meanwhile expanded to more closely resemble Jabba the Hut.
  - bklynchris
    
    Yeah, that was what I was kind of sad of….(as opposed to afraid of).

Metagame – there are twelve possible ways to make five in a row. Of those, which could most realistically be accomplished by a single con goer?

  Bottom left to top right is a good bet.

Here’s the one we put together a few years back (2003? 2004?) as a giveaway for our indie comic publishing company, Young American Comics:

I was gonna say, I remember the Young American Comics bingos fondly.

I also think that the comic-con list should have some stalwarts of the last decade on there, like Bob the Angry Flower, and the tinfoil robot guy and the giant Pikachu and the Ugly Dolls and the Ghostbusters teams.

Fortunately, I live in San Francisco and have interesting friends – so I can play this year round. :D
thanks for sharing David & Greg!

At risk of being called a nerd, isn’t it spelled Wookiee?
- Donald Petersen
  
  It is. Really, just knowing what a Wookiee is (never mind the spelling) would have been what qualified you for nerddom, back in the day. These days, the only people who misspell Wookiee are wannabe geeks, and my mind reels that there ever came to be such a creature.
  - dculberson
    
    Or it could be that there are non-pedantic geeks. It’s possible.
  - bklynchris
    
    As evidenced by tight costume (good)…
    
    amen brudda.

my friend posted a Tight Costume (good) and Wookee in the same pic.

Are you kidding? You’d yell “BLACKOUT!” within minutes. Gotta love Con. :)

You don’t have to be gay to make out with other guys.

Trust me on this. :-)

With the BB redesign, my comment was deleted… I’ll never be able to recreate my witty remarks, but it was something along these lines:
I apologize to the Wookiee and Stormtrooper communities for the spelling mistakes. The Young American Comics Bingo is awesome, and the only advantage ours (Last Gasp) has is that it randomizes when you reload the page. And thanks to “Anonymous” for the suggestions for new squares — we’ll add those for next year. Feel free to use this for D*C. Unfortunately, won’t be there to give you sweet prizes. –Colin @lastgaspbooks:twitter
