Seriously, this was one of the most physically exhausting conventions I’ve done in a while, especially with the extra-hectic travel involved. I could have just used Zilch as a stand-in for myself these past couple of days, and it’d be totally accurate.

(Historical Notes: The thing about this comic that’s changed over the past ten years is that it’s stretched out even longer.  The modern version of this page would be about twenty panels long.)
