Wonderful Weirdness of Wondercon 2014

Nightwing and Deathstroke are threatening Batgirl, while Superman tries to protect her, while a child and father watch the “action” out in front of the Anaheim Convention Center at Wondercon 2014.

Wondercon 2014 brought out some wonderful weirdness in its Cosplay as seen in this link, but it also brought out some wonderful weirdness in some of the concepts seen on the exhibition floor at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Really? Zombie bunnies?

The first are Zombie Bunnies. I got my first hint of the dangers of bunny rabbits when I saw Monty Python and the Holy Grail in 1975.

Now with the world being threatened, at least according to some successful television shows, to be overrun by zombies, it was only a matter of time before other creatures would become part of the walking dead world.

In fact, there is a whole kingdom of Zombie Bunnies, and they have their own Facebook page. We really have gone down a rabbit hole haven’t we Alice?

Of course it makes me wonder how Elmer Fudd would fare in this world? Would there then be zombie coyotes and more? Would the Roadrunner become a zombie too?

The thoughts stagger my cartoonish mind.

The character on John Merritt’s head is Tentacle Kitty.

In that vein, weird crossbreeding is the next item in “Tentacle Kitty,” a cross between an octopus and a cat.

Now how this happened I do not know. We all know how cats are terrified of the water; perhaps it was some poor cat’s chance encounter with an octopus leading to this.

Or maybe it was an effort by the society of Octopi to overcome the fear engendered by SciFi and horror filmmakers. Everyone knows cats are cute, insidiously so, whereas octopi do not seem to get the same kind of loving oohs and ahs from humans.

So maybe it was a plot to create a crossbred creature by the octopi to gain the loving trust of humans.

I do have to wonder, though, what kind of purring sound a Tentacle Kitty would make – would it sound like tiny bubbles wafting through water?

Would Tentacle Kitty like the water and can it swim?

I also found some wonderful authors at Wondercon 2014; learn more about them by clicking here.
