The HaTsume Comics table
at A-kon with the lovely Mrs.Mangler at the helm. MiniMangler snoozes while
passers-by check out the artwork.
This trio won the coveted
'Mrs.Mangler Favorite Award'. Thier costumes were pretty nifty. The mermaid
even has webbing between her fingers. Now that's attention to detail!
Hey, careful where you
point that thing, mister!
Well if it isn't my old
friend, Crono, from Cronotrigger! Frog and Ayla were seen splitting a pizza
not far from here. Not to worry, Crono just went back 500 years to Italy and
threatened the invention of the pizza. That'll teach 'em to eat the whole
damned pie.
Then there's this loner
from Slayers. What's in the paper bag, you ask? The souls of Mangler's vanquished
foes. The sourceror was heard giggling, "It makes me feel tingly."
When I asked the monk
why he was smiling he replied, "Huh, cuz I'm only wearing the robe...
and nuttin else, heh." Hmm... that's why she's NOT smiling, I wager.
*Gasp* Look, It's HandMaid
May! She'd just gotten to the Kon via (you guessed it) FedEx! Go Cyberdyne
Co.!
Ryoga Hibiki graced us
with his presence. He was looking for the dealer's room... from last year's
kon.
Familia Mangler enjoying
the kon life!
Yaya Han's second costume
from FFX. Nice!
Yaya and friend, Aimee,
posed for many a pic. Incidentally, their table was right besides ours. I'd
never heard of Yaya, but quite a bit of the Kon crowd HAD!
Look! It's the chocobo
guy from Ushicon! THIS chocobo is alot happier than last time... I think you
know why...
Mangler brain fart:bbbrrappp!
What anime are these ladies from?
" Yeah, I'm bad!
I can smash my enemies with my mighty war hammer! Fear me!"....
..."what, what's
so funny? Why are you all laughing? I'll smash your asses! Stop, STOP IT!!"
Link and Zelda warped
in from Hyrule to get some shopping done in one of the two dealer rooms.
Hmmm, unfortunately, I can't quite put
this character to the respective anime, a little help,
maybe?
UPDATE: 06/06/03
"HEY!! I think I know where this
pic is from!! Its from DIGIMON!! (Piedmon)..or...(Piemon)....think its Piemon"
thanks, Dakota Templete!!
and then the stormtroopers
arrived and their commander tried to force the secret of my Mangled Stare
out of me. Soooo.....
...after making short
work of him, I gave the troopers a taste of the Mangled Claw. It was a pretty
gruesome display.
Look who I ran into! It's
YOUNG, from Nekobox fame! I was sincerely
glad to see these two. They were the only familiar faces to the Mangler. Yay!
Then they had to get serious
and stike a pose for this site. Thanks, you two. Mangler luvs ya!
Balloon Man! Run, run
for your inflated life! I saw Needle Boy just around the corner and he looked
sharp!
"Hey, it'sa me, Maario!"
along with his partners! Go, Toadstool!
and, of course, to all
good things must come an end. MiniMangler's first kon was only a starter.
See ya next year, folks!
