Conventional Wisdom

(Historical Notes: One of the less talked about benefits of going to a convention just a few minutes’ drive from where I live is that the lack of a massive road trip BACK means the lull between the end of the con and the start of comics is a lot narrower than it would be otherwise.  Yes, I did indeed have such a post-con buzz still going when I got home that this page WAS drawn, edited, and posted all on Sunday night.  Obviously, the shift away from posting all the comics in big batches and towards one page coming out at a time helped a lot as well, but not having several states between the con and home was the biggest enabler here.  And also yes, that really is my room, and I had to MASSIVELY organize the junk on my desk to prove the illusion that I’m less messy than I really am.  Also, there was a bit of an ironic flipside to the events depicted here… but we’ll get to that in eighteen pages.)
