The Fats of FanExpo Canada - Complete with Photos! I'm a huge comic book nerd, and this is the third year in a row that I've gone to FaxExpo Canada. It combines the best of comics, horror, sci-fi and fantasy, all in one place. It's truly amazing. But like any nerdy convention, it was filled with fats. As we've discussed many times before on FPH, all of these fats look terrible in cosplay. They take athletic, sexy characters and turn them into bastardizations of their true forms. Thin people will get yelled at for cosplaying as fat characters, but it seems that fatties can cosplay as whoever they want, no matter how awful they look. Everywhere I looked there were fats cosplaying horribly, trying to squeeze their lard into corsets, walking around in short shorts with their cottage cheese thighs hanging out, or just doing an incredibly lazy job of cosplaying their character. This year especially I knew there would be a lot of fat Harley Quinns with the recent release of Suicide Squad. I tried to sneak as many photos as I could. Here is the album for your viewing pleasure. Please forgive the quality - not only was it my first time taking photos while on a Ham Safari, the place was also packed. Many of the photos are from the back or through a crowd. In addition to the cosplaying fatties, I have a few short stories for you. The major celebrity I wanted to see this year was Frank Miller. For those of you unfamiliar with him, he is the creator of Sin City, 300, and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, just to name a few. I waited over 3 hours to get his autograph, and it was totally worth it. After maybe 45mins to an hour of waiting, this couch bison (the one in light blue) starts whining and complaining to its companions that it was tired of standing in line and wanted to go. Its companions didn't want to leave the line - this was obviously the opportunity of a lifetime to meet the legendary Frank Miller and get his autograph, all for free (well, minus the cost of entering the Expo I mean). Eventually the butter barge started complaining to the staff directing the line, and it made the staff go bring it a folding chair to sit on. Once the line actually got moving, the beast would get up, drag its chair the 3 feet or so that we had moved, and sit down again. This continued until it got up to the table to meet Miller, and it just left its chair aside, assuming that the busy staff would take care of it. The other one was a formerly male deathfat who must have been at least 500 pounds. I don't know how, but somehow it managed to whine its way into the line for the people who were disabled. It had also brought its own stool to sit on, which I am surprised was able to hold its weight. That damn stool must have been made of Adamantium. Anyways, this death fat was at the beginning of the line, but was surrounded by people, including children, who legitimately required wheelchairs, walkers, and even guide dogs. Since this monstrosity was at the beginning of the line, it didn't have to constantly get up, move a few feet, and sit back down. It was literally the first "person" to meet Frank Miller. So when Miller got to the signing table, the deathfat was instructed to approach him. It was less than 20 feet from where it had been sitting on its stool to the table where Miller was signing autographs, but by the time the fatty reached him, it was already wheezing and out of breath. I desperately wanted to take a photo of this creature but I couldn't - we were all instructed that we weren't permitted to take photos, and anyone caught doing so would be kicked out of the line. After waiting that long, I didn't want to chance it. But I did get to meet Frank Miller, and it was the best 30 seconds of my life. He was so nice to me - he even told me he liked my cosplay! Aside from the adipose monsters, it was an awesome day. Edit: grammar
