Conventional Wisdom

Botchamania font used to commemorate one of my more spectacular convention botches.  Before you ask: yes, we found my phone.  It’d somehow fallen into a narrow gap between a seat and the inner wall of the car, but it really did take over an hour of crawling around the parking lot to make sure I hadn’t dropped it somewhere along the way before we figured that out.  NOT a fun emotional state to be in right before a long drive back home (even if I wasn’t the one driving that evening).

Also, I really wish I’d finished re-posting all the old comics before drawing this one, because this is kind of the spiritual sequel to an Animazement 2018 comic that’s still not up yet as I write this.  I’ll have to remember to stick a link in RIGHT HERE when I finally have something to link to.  You can’t tell from looking, but the badge forgetter there is the same one as here, so this whole episode was a bit of karmic retribution.  Speaking of which, I CAN link to these Animazement 2010 comics which are very relevant to this evening.  Even before we’d finally found the phone, I was already pointing out the irony and basically figuring out how this comic would eventually look.  That’s how I deal with the world, folks.  It’s all just material for jokes.

…oh, and just in case you were wondering, he didn’t have to actually BUY a new badge.  The staffer at the table recognized him from the day before and just gave him a new one.  That’d be an impressive feat of memory even WITHOUT the mask in the way.
