I Know That Voice Page #12

---

"It's him.

It's the guy from that show. "

It just isn't that important

'cause it isn't real.

I'll never see

those people again.

And when I come to something

like Comic-Con, you know,

the place is loaded

with people who are

into the work, know what we do,

know what we look like,

and it's like getting

to turn off and on that,

that fame thing

that my famous pals

can't turn off

during the rest of the year.

I say it here

and it goes out there.

Um, you don't know

how many people

are actually watching

at any given moment, you know,

and to see that at least

a little bit of that

at Comic-Con and all the people

who truly are inspired.

You go to Comic-Con

and you realize

you're doing something

and these are peo...

they're grownups,

they're people that you

grew up with laughing

as well as five year olds.

And uh, it makes it...

it makes it really special.

If we go down to

the comic book store today

we'll get free comics

from everybody and then

I'll have six comics

instead of seven!

I've been going to Comic-Con,

this'll be my 16th year.

Like me and Comic-Con

are old friends.

But Comic-Con is like the place

where nerds commune

in their natural habitat

without fear

of exterior persecution.

Comic-Con isn't just

this grassroots

marketing opportunity,

it is a place where people

who live and breathe

and bleed for this stuff

go to be passionate

with one another.

The cons are great.

It's like I'm a Beatle,

it's nuts.

This is gonna be fun.

All right, big day, Comic-Con.

I should have put some

of that eye stuff on my face.

I have to get my boxed lunch.

Going to San Diego Comic-Con

or Dragon Con in Atlanta

or any of these places,

it's like a company picnic.

You see people you work

with all the time.

You know, it's really...

it's really fun.

Anything you're a rabid

fan of is cool, man.

And I think that

the Comic-Con thing

did something really great

because it gave these people

who are so into comics,

and cartoons, and fantasy,

and anime,

and all these mediums,

it's like it gave them

a place to go.

Yeah, conventions are a trip,

it's really amazing

to see the fans.

Isn't that ridiculous.

These people are that sick,

they're super fans.

When we do a signing

and we get to interact

with the kids and fans,

and that's always great.

And I'll put the date so

we all know where we are.

Yes, thank you.

It's a chance for...

for somebody who

you really like something

and you get to actually

meet the people who do it.

It's a place where fans can

completely be themselves.

You know, where they can

live out their fantasy

with people that are

of like mind.

Good for them.

Oh, my dog, I'm dyslexic.

These people know who we are

and it's really lovely,

we're treated like rock stars,

and these characters have

such a profound effect

on many people's lives.

And that's a very special

thing to be part of.

It's also cool

to meet all the people

who actually wanna see you.

It's like, fun.

I like doing panels and stuff.

I love doing Comic-Cons

and comic book shows

where they are gracious enough

to have voice people come

and talk about the craft.

There's so many people

that light up

that are interested in it

and I've been blown away.

Still better than your cooking.

What's wrong with my cooking?

The best part, and this

is gonna sound so cheesy,

but it's the truth,

is you meet the fans

and you go, "Thank you,

thank you. "

Thank you for being into it,

I'm glad you like that. "

It's worth doing and it's fun.

If you can get through

the sea of people.

Comic-Con you walk around

like a baby

'cause you can't move

faster than a baby can

and you're just like waddling

and everyone's like,

bumper to bumper,

that's why you can't...

everyone's just

clustered together.

Celebrities at Comic-Con,

they escort them through

these back alley ways

throughout co...

they escort them like,

basically through

the garbage area, which is rad.

They sort of sneak you

in the back, you know,

where the loading dock is

lead you all these

dark corridors.

I know.

Gotta hustle, man.

This is Comic-Con for me.

Voice of Jake the Dog,

John DiMaggio.

I wanted to make

this documentary

because I wanted

to honor these people.

I wanted to show that my peers

are really incredible.

They're an incredibly

talented bunch.

I wanted to show those people,

I wanted to show their face,

I wanted to show them as

champions of the industry.
