• TrotCon Adds Thom Zahler and Fandom Guests


    We have a giant new update coming out of Trotcon, covering new guests, general badges info, and more. Go get it all below!



    Welcome Thom Zahler, ILoveKPaLot & Wiggles to TrotCon 2016!


    We've kind of gotten into a bit of a habit for TrotCon 2016: with the exception of the wonderful Heather Breckel and a few of our community guests, the VIPs we've announced for this year's convention are heading down to Columbus, Ohio, to take in some good ol' fashioned pony conventioning for the very first time.

    Our next guest is no exception to that admittedly loose trend. He's never been to TrotCon before, though he's by all accounts a veteran of the convention scene outside My Little Pony. Let's change that, shall we?

    Please welcome Thom Zahler to TrotCon 2016!

    Like Heather Breckel, you'll know Zahler predominantly from the comic publishing side of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Since the IDW series began, he's written and drawn for multiple volumes of the MLP comic series alongside such amazing folks as Katie Cook, Ted Anderson, Jeremy Whitley and many more.

    Of course, that's not all he's known for. Zahler also has his own Love and Capes, a romantic superhero comic series that's currently four volumes in, and is an accomplished letterer for comics, working on Claypool's Deadbeats series, Stan Lee's NHL Guardian Project and much more. He also recently debuted a new project, Long Distance. One of the characters is even based in Columbus. Boy howdy!

    Previously, he attended Fiesta Equestria in Texas twice, making this his third pony convention. And we're super pumped to have him!

    For 2016, Zahler will be participating in multiple panels at TrotCon and will have his own table in our Artist's Alley. Check out all of his work at his website!

    Let's tack on two more community guests, shall we? If you follow our social channels, you're probably already aware of them, but let's get 'em up on the website, shall we?

    In 2016, we'll also be welcoming ILoveKPaLot and Wiggles to TrotCon! You'll know ILoveKPaLot especially from her superb My Little Reviews series and other videos, while Wiggles is the moderator of the Ask King Sombra Tumblr and has been the official cosplayer for Bronycon's mascot Blank Canvas. NICE.

    They join Heather Breckel, John de Lancie and Ingrid Nilson in our lineup of VIP guests for 2016, alongside community guests such as Pixelkitties, ChocoPony and TJ Carson.

    Wanna come hang out? We've got TrotCon badges going on until June 25 -- sponsor badges, weekend badges, you name 'em, they're for sale and your purchases help us bring more awesome guests like Thom Zahler to you. Badge link here: http://trotcon.net/registration/
