AC Cubed

:: Posted by Bryan @ 11/21/2006 05:32:00 AM
AC Cubed, the annual Ottawa anime convention, wrapped up over the weekend. Anime fans seem different from comics fans --they experience their hobby mostly in groups and there is lots of dancing. A much more colorful culture in many ways. Anyway, besides group viewings of Japanese cartoons and a big dealers room, the convention offered a modicum of comic-related content, including panels on webcomics, manga dealers, and tons of cosplay. On hand were webcomics/animation entrepreneurs Les Major & Mandy St. Jean, and Gisele Lagace, creator of the now-defunct Cool Cat Studio webcomic and comic book series as well as the newish Peggy and Aggie webcomic --a professional, slick teenage humour strip with overtones of Archie, but hipper (Lagace has been courted by the Archie folks but nothing has materialized except some Josie and the Pussycat samples --Archie may be too lame for her).

The convention has been running for 3 years now, put on by an Ottawa anime society known as SOAP. Their forums have lots of discussion about the con, including memories and photos, like this set from a dealer who was at the show. Princess Mononoke meets glo-sticks.
