Conventional Wisdom

(Historical Notes: It’s a bit weird that I crammed the two halves of this comic into a single page instead of letting them stand on their own, because they don’t really NEED each other to exist.  It’s not as if I’m averse to doing a comic about nodding off during a panel without providing a huge heaping helping of context.  I guess Past Me was just really REALLY committed to the whole storyline aspect of this set of comics… which I now think it a bit overkill.  But yeah, after that first night, I made a point of spending WAAAAY more time in the con until things had a chance to cool off a bit more outside.  It obviously didn’t solve EVERYTHING, but the fact that I made it back at all means it helped at least a little bit.)
