Conventional Wisdom

This is not an Otakon-exclusive thing at all, but I was hit especially hard by it this year. It’s one thing to not get to see something ‘cos there aren’t any seats left in the room. It’s quite another when time itself turns against you.

(Historical Notes: Past Me tries to make it sound like these two comics are basically the same thing, but looking back at it now, they feel pretty different.  Being too busy doing one thing to make time for another is NOT the same thing as fearing the mere PROSPECT of being busy… and the later is definitely overtook the former as time went on.)
