Comic Con Talk (Renamed since LA Comic Con can't get it together)
How was the crowd? Masking, social distancing?
It certainly seemed like a solid number of people were there, but I have no real basis for comparison, having never attended any of the previous events. It wasn't like shoulder-to-shoulder or anything.
Masks were mandated, but obviously people would pull them down to take a picture with a celebrity. I didn't see very many of the celebrities with masks on, although Vanessa Angel and Alice Cooper had plastic shields in front of their booths. Neither of them were doing photos, either..... Just seemed to be autographing photos available for purchase.
The duo from Walton and Johnson (Walton passed in 2019, his replacement was Kenny Webster), as well as JBL, did not seem to have any problems doing photos while standing next to people and remaining maskless. I haven't really read anything about JBL's beliefs on masking or Covid in general, but I've listened to the Walton and Johnson show enough times to not be the least bit surprised that they didn't make masking a priority.
As far as social distancing......the lines looked about like any other typical line you would see anywhere, in terms of spacing. I didn't see any six feet enforcement going on.
