Ogre from 'Revenge of the Nerds' maintains respectful silence, just this once.

This is a gloriously respectful funny headline. I'm sure he would be honored, subby.

THAT'S a good headline. Definitely got a chuckle outta that.

Will he be slabbed by CGC, bagged and boarded, folded up and put between the spokes of some kid's bike, or cremated?

Sheldon Dorf. Why am I not surprised that a man with a name like that would be the father of a comic book convention?
If I had a pocket protector I'd jiggle it in his honor anyway.

Hes not dead, he just joined the Green Lantern Corps.

I always liked that 'Dorf on Golf' thing he did.

Comic-con has been bigger than Christmas for me since I was 7.


I totally just busted out "JLA: Heaven's Ladder" just to think that he's probably in at least ONE of, if not all of, those heavens.



(Probably Thanagar.)

Because of you, sir, that shy Librarian can, for at least one week, dress as the sluttiest Batgirl you've ever seen.
And for that, sir, I can't thank you enough.

May you get a good seat in Heaven.

I was just trying to liven up the place with some marginally relevant cleavage. Does the rest really matter. Not like she is going to sleep with any of us.

Speak for yourself. I plan on giving Olivia Munn the best three seconds of her life.

As soon as the restraining order expires...

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the cleavage.. I just don't know who the hell she is or what she's famous for.

At least he'll never hurt anyone else ever again.

I'd really like to say something nice about Mr. Dorf, so I'll just ignore the clusterfark Comic Con has become in the last five years, assume he had nothing to do with it, and just appreciate that he created something that was very cool once.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this years ComicCon is now closed. I guess we won't be seeing you next year, Mr. Dorf.

Dragoncon is better than Comic-Con.

There, I said it.

His Comic Con party is one I hope to crash someday.

Now that he finally moved out, you think his mom put her basement up for rent?

/maybe just turn it into storage
//it's going to take years to get all the cheeto dust out of the carpet.
///could use some help taking all of these boxes full of cartoons to the dump too

And I second that.
5 days/120 hrs of fandom and booze.
Comic Con can't do that.

But my condolences to the family and friends of a great man who helped grow the Con Industry.
