ComiCon Incredibles cosplayers

Posted by Cory Doctorow, February 20, 2008 11:34 PM | permalink

Today in my ongoing series of photos from my travels over the years: this entire family came to last year's ComicCon in matching, beautifully made Incredibles suits, and worked out a great little tableau of poses for photographers. Link

I don't think I saw them there, but I have seen other photos since. I kinda like how they didn't do up their hair/faces to match the characters.

And here's my Cory sighting. Then afterwards I bought Overclocked and thoroughly enjoyed it.

My sister's family dressed like this for their Christmas card photo this year.

I appreciate the...characterizations.

Is this where we link to our Comic-Con pics of Cory, then? Alrighty.

I gotta ask, Cory, what was that blonde-pigtail lady (seen in my photo) trying to talk to you about? She was odd. Even for Comic-Con.

You know, I couldn't really figure it out -- some kind of self-publishing something. She was intense.

The perfectness of this scene makes me suspect there is actually a third child that refuses to participate in such familial costumery, regardless of its eventual awesomeness quotient.

Is that 3rd child Jack-Jack, or will he grow up to be Syndrome?

This was one of the first photos I favorited on Flickr. The mom don't hurt none, nope.

I was a little freaked out by the comments on FlckR that seemed to trend towards "milf" and how that little boy was checking the mom's butt out. Has the world become that sexualized?

The family that "nerds" together, stays together.

On a non-sexualized note, I had a total double-take when I saw this photo, because there's an identical shot in a short I made at Comic-Con about small children in adorable costumes.

We didn't see this family, but a couple of years ago we saw THIS Elastigirl, who really captured the character.
