Ichibancon 2020 – page 1
When I commit myself to too many things during a convention, I wish I’d given myself less to do. When I don’t commit myself to anything, I panic and look for something to fill the time. It’s always something, I tell ya. Actually, I need to remember to stick a link in here to that one Escapist Expo comic where I went to that MAGFest concert after hours. But seriously, later pages will make it crystal clear that I absolutely did NOT need to postpone Sunday night’s drive back as long as something like this would have required. Just you wait.
Also, there’s probably a really smarky joke to be made about not wasting my first wrestling show on current-era Ring of Honor, but if I understand the timeline right, that Sunday would have been the first RoH show after Marty Scurll officially got his new big boss role. If nothing else, that would have been a neat historical footnote to lay claim to, especially since I’d already penciled this page with its cameo from The Villain BEFORE the convention weekend even started.
Finally, I have no idea why I drew myself without the hat here. Yes, it’s true to life, since I don’t really wear it around the house, but… the comic just looks WRONG like this!
*walks in to make a joke about modern day ROH, sees it has been covered in the description, walks away sad*
There’s probably a whole second, meanspirited ROH joke to be made about walking away sad
Of course that’s the case, why wouldn’t you expect that “too many/too little” problem panic? This comic’s even showing that you’ve hit the middle ground, where you panic about believing that you have too little to do at the con before it, and wishing that you had given yourself less to do during it.
There is no other middle ground about things like this so long as you care about filling in your time enough to panic about having too little to do for something.
There’s nothing scarier than having nothing to be scared about
