Now that we've all had about a week to get used to the cold, depressing real world again, here's a little reminder of the unreality that is Otakon... IN COMIC FORM!
Hope you guys enjoy this little nostalgic trip to, um, last weekend! -------------------- Conventional Wisdom What happens in an Anime Convention DOESN'T stay in an Anime Convention

That one struck a particularly sour chord within me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Quite funny, Blitzkrieg1701; you did a nice job illustrating some of the biggest standouts in the con. This post has been edited by PlasmaFire: Jul 24 2009, 11:30 PM -------------------- |

Durn fool kids, don't know nothing these days... then again, were you dressed as John Cleese dressed as a waitress? That's an important part right there.

This was me! I was the girl who came up to you at the end of closing ceremonies. At first I thought you might be cosplaying "the guy who does that webcomic", but I figured that would just be odd. |

This. I agree so much with this. After taking off my wicked lady cosplay, I felt like I was nobody and it saddened me. -------------------- Corinne Oplinger

This was hilarious last year, I'm so glad you did it again. My favorite part was the 'hardest part is being found' one. Exactly what I went through trying to find someone in the dealers room.
*And completely off topic* ! YOU were the season 02 Matt?! Aaaah!! I wanted to glomp you so much but didn't get around too it! You were awesome! |

Great comic man. Some of them we're funny, some of them we're true and some of them we're both (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
