More from Scoop on Otakon in DC
Otakon took over the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in downtown Washington, D.C., on August 11-13, 2017. Featuring massive concerts, plenty of panels, and more high-quality cosplay than we could keep track of, the convention's first year in the nations' capital was truly a sight to behold.
Below, take a look at our second half of photo coverage, with photographs taken by Gemstone Assistant Editor Carrie Wood.

August 19: Girls With Slingshots art auction for Monica Gallagher
I'll be at Bmore Into Comics at The Windup Space in Baltimore this Saturday from 1-7, this time in honor of our founder, my Convention Wife* Monica Gallagher, who's currently going through chemo but is still making comics because she's a badass.
*Randy and I have an open polyconventionspouse relationship.
We're doing a silent auction and I'll be auctioning off three derby-themed GWS original strips and the original art for the event poster! Mimi Massacre's first (well, facial) appearance; Thea and Mimi makin' out in a closet; and Mimi tossing her bouquet at her wedding.
So come out and bid on something in the silent auction, write a note to Monica, or just buy yourself a drink at the bar, because a percentage of drink sales will go to benefit Monica as well!
Don't drink? Buy me a cider! (WHAT, it's for Monica.)
If you can't be there but you wanna help Monica from afar, maybe consider pledging to her Patreon account! She's been posting comics about her experience going through chemo, and it's been fascinating to follow.
Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Google Censorship: 100% 'Toxic'"
"Google Censorship: 100% 'Toxic'"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=23
Under the pretense of filtering "fake news", Google has begun actively working to suppress Leftist and Progressive news and opinion sites on the Internet with heavily-tweaked algorithms and "toxicity" ratings. Artificial Intelligence? Artificial IDIOCY, more like.
Well, I've applied my own intelligence to this issue, and I've determined that Google is 100% "toxic".
Chew on that, Larry and Sergey.
