The Highboro Comic-Con is pleased to announce a new addition to this month’s event: all three stars of the hit 1980s sitcom “Nerds of a Feather” will be in attendance for photo opportunities and autograph signings!
Airing every Tuesday night on ANC from 1984-1989, “Nerds of a Feather” followed the life of widower Harold Frump (Burt Massey), a dyed-in-the-wool nerd raising his two preteen sons: Edison (Scotty Weiss), a nerd-in-the-making, and Oscar (Jake Fowler), a football-loving jock!
Who can forget the episode where Harold almost lost his job writing crossword puzzles because Oscar hit his word processor with a croquet mallet, or the time the whole family went to Hawaii and Edison defeated The Big Kahuna in a surf-off? For so many children of the ‘80s, “Nerds of a Feather” was a cherished family sitcom that proved “Nerd is the word!” We look forward to hosting these wonderful actors later this month at Highboro Comic-Con!
UPDATE
Since we announced a few hours ago that the stars of the 1980s sitcom “Nerds of a Feather” would be in attendance at the upcoming Highboro Comic-Con, several dozen women have come forward with disturbing allegations regarding actor Jake Fowler who played Oscar the jock on the beloved 1980s sitcom. In light of these allegations, Fowler will no longer be attending this event.
UPDATE
Since our last update, it has come to our attention that dozens of women have come forward with disturbing allegations regarding actor Scotty Weiss, who played geeky son Edison on “Nerds of a Feather.” In light of these allegations, Weiss will no longer be attending this event.
Fortunately, actor Burt Massey (family patriarch Harold Frump) will still be in attendance. Massey has promised to bring an assortment of the actual crossword puzzles he wrote for “Nerds of a Feather,” which he will be auctioning off for charity. We look forward to seeing you at the Highboro Comic-Con!
UPDATE
Since our last update, the FBI has positively identified actor Burt Massey as the Zodiac Killer. Needless to say, Massey will not be in attendance at the Highboro Comic-Con as he is currently being held at Red Onion State Prison.
To make up for this unfortunate turn of events, we have a big surprise in store: Bubby the Chimp! Bubby appeared in the final three seasons of “Nerds of a Feather” as father Harold Frump’s lab animal/business associate. Bubby will be in attendance at the Highboro Comic-Con and will be signing autographs. We look forward to seeing you there!
UPDATE
Since our last update, dozens of women have come forward with disturbing allegations regarding Bubby the Chimp, who is currently engaged in a shoot-out with the LAPD and will not be attending the Highboro Comic-Con.
In light of these events, Comic-Con staff has decided to devote the “Nerds of a Feather” booth space to an entirely different kind of talent: writer Mitch Calloway, author of the non-fiction work “Monsters in Our Midst: How powerful, dangerous men hide in plain sight.” We look forward to seeing you at the Highboro Comic-Con.

Guys, you ain’t gonna believe this.
