Well, two of them. But they were big ones! This week we're recapping GalaxyCon in Raleigh and Comic-Con in San Diego, going over the good (Cosplay! Cute merch! Famous artists! Amazing Digital Circus meetup!!) the bad (ugh it was hot in San Diego) (*oh like 79 degrees? - Kathryn*) (*Yes all right shut up - Elizabeth*), and the ugly (on both the east coast and the west coast the LINES in ARTIST ALLEY ARE OUT OF CONTROL.) After that we recapped episode 19 of the final season of Beastars. In short, the A-team animators are still knocking it out of the park, Haru is being stupid, and Legoshi is a total chump. This episode's outro is a clip from Rigged Game by Grumplefunk. It can be really easy to slip into doom and despair at the state of the world right now, but there are things you can do to help.
