removing their topcoats, the three dry themselves with complementary napkins, and fill styrofoam cups with coffee from an old and worn-looking peculator before taking a booth.
"nothing like a strong cup of meat-based coffee on a day like this," says mh.

suddenly babu baboon notices there is another patron in the dining room. but where are the staff? the slightly overweight waitresses? the cooks with bloody aprons? the patron smiles at babu & nods. the man is in vintage clothes. babu takes him as a 'hipster'. someone who owns a vintage hi-fi and collects 45 records at swap-meets. his gaze however makes babu uneasy.

Getting irritated at the man's constant stare, Babu Baboon finally snaps, "What are you looking at?"
"I'm not sure," the older guy says. "I once went hiking with some buddies and we got all messed up on shrooms. I went wandering off into the woods and woke up in a cave. That was when I realized I had screwed a Bigfoot. I was trying to figure out if you're my kid."
"How rude," Babu grumbles.

"Anyway, I wanted to let you guys know I was able to book us a good spot up front for our booth at the Justice City Comic Con," Doc Quantum says.
"Aw man," we're really doing that?" MH says.
"We need the good publicity and the extra cash," Babu Baboon says, "So we gotta press flesh with the public and sell a few autographed pictures."
"I've got mine ready," Doc says, holding up his picture.
"Wh..what's that? Glamour Shots?" Babu asks.
"Olan Mills was closed," Doc sighed. "I swear. Those guys can talk you into anything."
"You hang on to those," Babu says. "Most of the fans will probably want to have their pictures taken with us. Luckily, Steve and Gil took photography classes because they thought it would help them meet chicks. So they'll be taking photos for us."
"I've got like a hundred of these," Doc sighed. "Those Glamour Shots people really are persuasive."

The day of the Justice City Comic Con comes and the Monkey Alliance is setting up their booth. "I hope this works out," Babu Baboon says. "We need the good press."
"I just hope I can move these glamour shots," Doc says.
"I can't believe you brought those," MH says.
"I know how they look," Doc says. "But they cost a bundle. For what I paid, I could have been sitting on the terlet and I still would have brought them."
"Well, at least those screen print t-shirts Dakota made for us to sell look pretty sweet," Babu says.
"Just wait until you see what else we've got!" MH says.
"Oh God... what did you do?" Babu says.
Suddenly, Super Jesse walks in through the big double doors carrying a big wooden crate over his head. He sets it down in front of their booth with a huge thud. "It this spot okay, MH?" Jesse says.
"What the hell?" Babu exclaims.
"Just wait," MH smiles.
Super Jesse rips the lid off with his bare hands and looks inside. "oh man! Plushies! I want one!"
"Why are they all of me!" Babu Baboon exclaims.
"Because you're the only one who would make a good plushie. The rest of us are human. People plushies are weird and lame.
"Hey, isn't that the weird guy from the coffee shop?" Doc says, pointing to the bearded guy setting up a booth opposite them.
"Yeah," Babu says. "Looks like he's promoting one of those self-important artsy-fartsy indie comics."
"Well, that answers the question of who I'll be screwing with today," MH says.

"Where is MH?" Babu asks after a they have been sitting a while.
"I dunno," Doc says. "I did think he seemed unusually quiet."
"Get a load of this!" MH sayssuddenly, walking back to the booth.
"Where have you been?" Babu asks.
"I slipped over to that guy's booth and snagged one of his books. "I'm still trying to figure out if it's garbage or genius."

as babu lands near his house, he sees the lovely former mrs baboon running away and stomping thru his neighbor's flower bed.
"go away you harpy!" hisses glen as she runs away. "they're his windbreakers and he looks amazing in them!"
moments later.
"it was awful!" shrieks glen throwing his arms around babu. "i'm terrified, i can't stay here! take me to comic-con with you!"
mh, mouth full, puts out his sandwich to see if glen wants a bite.
"you're creepy!" says glen.

"Gee, Glen, I'e never known you to turn down a foot-long before," Babu says.
"Oh, stop," Glen says, giving Babu a playful slap on the arm. "You're so bad."
"We'd better get back to the con," MH says. "Doc will start trying to push those Glamour Shots on people again. Why does your ex want those windbreakers so bad?"
"She can't manage money worth a damn," Babu says. She's probably one step away from eating cat food by now. Those windbreakers are classics. She could get a fortune for them on Ebay!"

Once they're back at the comic con, things start to settle down. After getting some pocky and a weird Japanese soda from one of the vendors, Glen starts to calm down a.d wanders off to do some shopping.
"Why are you smiling?" MH asks.
"That Glen guy bought all my Glamour Shots! He says he's going to hand them out as Christmas presents to all his pals!"
"Should we tell him what Glen's pals are going to..." MH starts to ask babu.
"This is the happiest he's looked since he got suckered into that photo package. Don't ruin it for him," Babu says.
How did I not know about this stuff?" Glen squeals, returning to the booth. "I just discovered J-Pop!"
"Yeah, I thought you might like that," Babu says
"Well, I'm off to guy a body pillow!" Glen squeals.

just then the cosplay competition begins. rich evans from led letter media comes out in a george lucas costume to thunderous applause.
then they hear pots & pans clanging around. "oh g-d, no, it can't be," rasp babu. mh has changed into an old prospector outfit complete with stuffed mule, looks around and yells, "oh peaches!" then begins to sing about his mule.
"oh sweet jezabel, why are you so sweet?"
the computerized mule-bot nods happily.
"is he from star trek discovery?" asks a fan. "probably," replies another.
