I mean, I'm sure this is probably the LEAST of the reasons this update too so long to finish, but it IS the only one I could think of that would allow me to make a meta reference to my slothful output AND still say something meaningful about the actual convention weekend itself. Because yeah,…

Originally, I was going to put some kind of "young congoers learn hard truths about the life they've chosen" type caption on this, but I think it pretty much speaks for itself. Yes, this was another one of those blessed moments where the whole gag just happened as is right in front of me, and…

No, seriously, I went to get a picture of the cover to use in this comic, only to find I'd left the thing sitting in my backpack for the past six months. I guess I was every bit as excited about this DVD as the guy who got it. And no, I don't actually know…

Yeah, it got a bit cramped over there. I mean, it's always been a little snug at peak hours, but this year in particular I just couldn't handle the crowd levels for more than a few minutes at a time. I dunno if it was because that many people were afraid of getting yelled at…

I mean, it's not as if I've never been in a room where somebody set an alarm for really dang early. Heck, it's not even that unusual for the alarm-ee to just roll right back over and fall asleep again afterwards. I just can't remember this MANY alarms all set to go off at the…

...and before some well-meaning Samaritan feels compelled to fill the comments with feel-good inspirational stuff about how I shouldn't feel embarrassed to not have personally hand-crafted every single aspect of a costume and should just focus on having fun... yeah, I know. I wasn't feeling inferior due to cosplaying in poverty, I was just feeling…

Obligatory string of links to all those Hungry Hungry Hippos comics from Anime USA, because that's who that is. And yes, we did actually meet up properly later on. How else would I have heard this story? ALSO, to anyone who's reasonably annoyed at how long it's been taking these comics to come out: Yeah,…

This poor page was sitting half-finished in one tab while I got around half a dozen other comics started and finished in another. Has AWA 2023 set the record for the most drawn-out set of comics yet? I mean, it's definitely up there. (Also, it didn't help that, despite taking a STUPID number of "generic…

Well now, this sure took longer than expected, didn't it? Yeah, this is pretty embarrassing, to the point that there's probably gonna be a comic specifically about it later on. Suffice to say, I'm gonna need to start being a lot more strict about not doing convention stuff anywhere NEAR the holiday season. That or,…

Obviously, it helped that this was the first time Awesomely Bad had BEEN at AWA for quite a few years, but still. Any time we find out there's a room full of people who don't realize what they're about to witness, it's a special feeling. And given that this was not only the first time…
