PARADISE COMICS TORONTO COMICON 2006 (28-30 Apr 2006)
Also, Paradise Comics Toronto Comicon founder and promoter Peter Dixon agreed to get his head shaved at the con if fans donated $1000 to ACTOR. The generous Toronto crowd donated just over $1200 for the shearing, and Peter got his head shaved.
“For sale, one tube of hair gel, slightly used, and one hair brush. $5 bucks or best offer,” said Dixon.
Legendary artist and A.C.T.O.R. Board Member George Pérez commented, “As an A.C.T.O.R. rep, I really want to thank Peter Dixon, who was a really good sport. It was a real gas watching the crowd gathering around to cheer him on as the shearing festival commenced. I'm especially grateful that Gail Simone -- amazingly enough, a trained hairstylist!-- was also a guest of the show, and she took on the lion's share of the clipping. That must have saved Peter a lot of torture. With me doing the final passes I actually had my first collaboration with Gail. Hopefully, there will be more. I guess I can thank Peter for that as well.”
