Digicon: Like a Regular Con, but Without the Smell
Ever wanted to attend a convention without leaving your home and/or putting on pants? Well DigiCon is planning on helping with that. Created by Ryan Fischer of Gin and Comics, DigiCon is an online convention on September 10-11. It will have webcomic creators, comic writers and artists doing live drawings, doing fan sketches, chats, and more. You can also buy art, shirts, and more from the guests and vendors, all online.
