Conventional Wisdom

Now watch a bunch of people come up to me at my next con and ask me a lot or really obscure trivia bits that I totally don’t know the answer to. I HAVE TEMPTED FATE.

(Historical Notes: I don’t think the incident that inspired this comic is the same one I’m about to talk about, but I couldn’t think of a better place to slip this anecdote in.  I filmed a whole interview that afternoon for some YouTube channel whose name escapes me.  I was tempted to bring it up in a comic, but figured it’d be awkward if I did and then they didn’t use the interview… which was very smart of Past Me, because they never did.  In retrospect, they thought they were just getting a few sound bites from a cosplayer with a cool puppet, not a whole spiel from some guy with a weird webcomic nobody’d heard of, so I can’t be surprised they never used the thing.  That, and I’m pretty sure Servo was in front of my face half the time.  Where’d he learn to stick his head in front of the picture like that?)
