As if you haven’t gotten enough of Yvonne Strahovski at the New York Comic Con this past weekend, I’ve made a wallpaper dedicated to the event.

(I promise — the NYCC avalanche of pics & news is almost over — just in time for Chuck Vs. the Suburbs next week!)

This one isn’t too fancy, but it captures some of Yvonne’s cuter facial expressions of the panel.  And, of course, there was no way to keep Strahotski Bear out of the shots.

You can check out the Wallpapers Page for various resolutions for your desktop pleasure.

If you have any works of art involving Yvonne Strahovski, send it to us at submissions@strahotski.com!

Enjoy!

I’ve added 5 more photos to the New York Comic Con gallery courtesy of Ross over at rossmedia.com.  He got some excellent shots of Yvonne reacting to the bear.

After she caught it Fedak caught it and gave it to her, she showed it to Josh Schwartz and these pictures capture that moment.  Yet again, it’s good to see an angle that I couldn’t see and an exchange that I was too freaked out to take in!

Also, I haven’t had an opportunity to mention it elsewhere given all the Yvonne news, but Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak were also awesome, funny dudes.  Chuck (and by extension the career of our favorite girl) is in good hands.

There will probably be more NYCC photos trickling in over the next few days.  Hope you guys don’t mind.

Enjoy!

So we’ve talked about how beautiful she was, and we’ve talked about the Strahotski Bear.

And if you’ve been in our forums, we’ve talked circles about all of the juicy information about Chuck from the panel.

But the one thing I feel like I haven’t really conveyed are my impressions of Ms. Strahovski from the NYC Comic Con Panel.

First off, I want to say that I’m incredibly grateful to Yvonne for how perfectly gracious she was to not only me, but all the fans who attended the panel.

She was a real trooper, and she took everything in stride.  She is clearly a first-class lady.

I know that I’m not a complete weirdo, but she doesn’t know that and for her to give me (and the rest of her fans) the benefit of the doubt shows a real solid side of her personality that shows how grounded she really is.

Unlike on Chuck, Ms. Strahovski had the opportunity to smile a lot at the panel, and her smile is absolutely infectious.  I’m not just talking about beauty here, but just the ability to draw people in with that smile.

Also, I can’t explain enough how radiant Yvonne is.  And again, I’m not just talking about beauty.  She sparkles; she lights up the room.  It is hard to not just stare at her because she is just that kind of star.

But all of that aside, the best impression I got of Yvonne is that she’s just a person.  A normal, fun-loving person who cares about her fans and is extremely gung-ho about her work.

We may all know that she is far more beautiful than most human beings, but I’m not sure she knows that — and perhaps that is what makes her most beautiful of all.

Yvonne Strahovski seems to be having a ball being a star, and I for one think she deserves all of the glory and happiness that this life can give her.  I hope she becomes a mainstay of Hollywood for decades to come.

A fan sent me a link to a video that has made its way to YouTube of the bear exchange.  You can hear me in the background.

Being totally freaked out at the time, I enjoyed watching this.  I noticed I got a thumbs up from Chris Fedak!  Awesome.

I can’t believe I actually made that throw.  It was a good catch by Fedak as well.  The bear didn’t have a lot of heft to it, so I was scared it wouldn’t make it.

After having read some of the relatively negative takes on the ‘crazy’ fans at the panel, I was relieved to watch this back and see that it looked like a fun exchange to me.

I’ve made it back, and as Strahotski Bear has already made it known — it was a total rockin’ success!  And I’m more impressed with Yvonne Strahovski than I was before.

There were no signings, so I didn’t have the opportunity to literally meet Yvonne, but giving her the bear was just as sweet of a reward.  I tried to be respectful and keep my distance; after all I don’t want her to think me the looney.

Just got back from a grueling weekend of New York City and I have lots of other thoughts to post, but I figured that if I didn’t get these pics up tonight someone would put a mark out on me.  And that would be bad.

So here we have 35 new pictures in the New York Comic Con Gallery.  They were all pain-stakingly taken by me with my little camera from the fourth row.  I took out the particularly bad ones for both your and Yvonne’s sake.

There are tons of pics floating around I’m sure, so I don’t know if I bring anything new to the table.

But my pictures are all about Yvonne (and Strahotski Bear as you’ll see).  I think I heard Chris Fedak and Josh Schwartz were there too, but there was this blinding light blocking them from my view. /shrug

Enjoy!
