And Now For Something Completely Different

Editor’s Note: On October 14th we asked Amanda LaPergola, one of our contributing writers, to write a report detailing the experience of her first trip to New York City Comic Con. We have not heard from her since.

Today a package arrived at the offices of The Mary Sue. Its contents contained a note from Amanda’s mother (“Please excuse my daughter’s recent tardiness. Amanda asked me to tell you that she has been sick, but in reality she has been spending her time watching all 47 episodes of Nana.”) and the following.

    Poor Matt. I really want to make him some chicken soup.
     
    I’m so happy you had a great day, Amanda. I did, too. I was there on Saturday. If you’d like to see how MY day went, you can read the bloggish descriptions I added to my photos on Flickr.
     
    Start with Dr. Horrible and discover the irony of this sentence.

    “Everything is nothingness”
    That right there, is where I burst out laughing.
    This was adorable. Please, as was said above, DO MORE OF THESE!

    This ‘Matt’ fellow should have sucked it up like a man. 

    I found him to be quite the unlikeable character, the sort of ne’er-do-well that can only be described as the consummate “party pooper”.

    Absolutely hilarious. Best Comic-Con report ever.
