Once again, thank you to all the Fools who came by my table last weekend at the Montreal Comic Con. It was a blast meeting each and everyone of you! See ya next year!
Here are my [very few] pictures. Please accept my sincere apologizes for the bad quality of the first 10-12 pictures. Somehow I missed the fact my camera wasn’t set on auto-settings and it took really bad pics 
Hope you still enjoy some! 
Cheers!
