You’ll see in the following full-length trailer that at the very least he had no shortage of people looking to talk about it. From actors and fellow cartoonists to regular fanatics it appears everybody is chomping at the bit to gush about this seminal work.

Unlike most TMBs here at DOOM Towers we can’t exactly pick this apart for nuggets of info. It’s a documentary full of people talking to camera, what’s to say? But there are a couple points.

– Beauty is in the eye of the director

So this is one of those documentaries where the director inserts themselves physically into the film. We’ll be seeing Joel as he meets fans and looks into the history of the comic.

This can be a slippery slope for documentaries as sometimes the director can end up making the film all about himself. When the subject matter is this good, that isn’t necessary/wanted.

– Whatever they say, believe it

I can’t stress this enough; whatever superlative they use to describe Calvin & Hobbes, whatever praise they pour onto it, it’s all true. You can not over emphasize how wonderful the comic is.

If you haven’t read it yet, stop reading this article now and go do so. In fact, even if you have read it before, go back and read it again. And just in case you don’t listen, I’m going to stop this article right now so you’ve no excuse.

Dragon*Con is the largest fan-run sci-fi convention in America. Held every year on Labor Day weekend in Atlanta, Georgia it has been rocking our space socks off for over two decades. This year will be my fourth year attending and other DOOM staffers such as JJ Hawkins and Jason Wood will be partying through the 2011 event with me. We have lots of good stuff we plan to share with you for the event and theres just 35 days to go (not that we’re counting, but we’re TOTALLY counting)

To get both you and ourselves in the mood, I’m glad that the award-winning documentary “Four Days At Dragon*Con” is now available online over at PBA.org. Directed and edited by Jack Walsh it manages to show you the kind of things you can expect from the craziest place on Earth. And thanks to the beauty of embedding, it’s also available here too! So take a look and unless you are square, we will see you there!

Watch the full episode. See more Dragon Con.

Big thanks to Soulbots for the heads up.

JJ and his amazing friend Jason realize a parallel universe where things are much lamer. Thank heavens we live here. JJ steps upon a political soapbox for a moment (but he doesn’t linger, I swear). The Duo discuss a documentary Off The Charts that they hope you will watch and enjoy. Finally the pair go even more in depth to a topic that has taken our audience by storm!

…also after the recording of the podcast, JJ kept drinking. Beer+Microphone usually means a song at the end of the podcast. This is no exception. Thanks Aaron for the encouragement.
