Even though I just got home, it's time to hit the road again -- as on Saturday (April 26th 2025) I'm going to be at Concinnity in Milwaukee, WI.
Concinnity is a one day con held at MSOE downtown. This is the con's 25th year, and even though I've been doing Wisconsin cons since, well, before this con existed, somehow I've never ended up going to it until now. Largely this is because it fell so close to No Brand Con historically, so I was usually far too burnt out to do another event so close to it. But as No Brand is on hiatus, I figured it was about time I dipped my toe in and sent off a vendor application a while back.
I'm excited to finally go to this. I'll have all my standard stuff for sale, so if you're in town and feel like going to a little college show, stop on by and say hello. After this con though I'm going to take a well deserved rest. This much travel can take a lot out of me -- we've only been home for a couple of days, and we're immediately hitting the road again with this con.
In fact I should probably go to bed right now.
My next cons after this won't be until this summer, with Big Minneapolis Anime in Minneapolis August 2-3, and then Anime 414 in Milwaukee August 9-10. The former of which I'll be sharing a table with Peregrine Lake artist Ethan Flanagan. I'm slowly building up to a full schedule again this year, and I'm trying new stuff as much as I can.
Hopefully y'all come with me for the ride.

The last time Noble got a line was in 2016. It was ‘Jesus.’
Her money, her idea
No, it is her money, she should not be running the con, way too many chances of conflicts of interest.
Looks at *name of con redacted*.
That can go both ways though. No skin in the game sometimes amounts to “my way even when it makes no sense economically.”
…Well who else? Punch all the Nazis, no restraint. Only legal ramifications.
No, an anti-hate speech policy that is actually enforced by the con director. And a couple of big dudes on staff who just happen to be the ones called on to escort anyone off the premises who becomes an issue. Terrence would have been far less likely to object if the anime nerd staffer talking to him was a 300 lb construction worker for his day job.
Lynn is the obvious choice, but likely should be some sort of Due Process. May want to check with the BorkCon charter or whatever paperwork there is. Likely something as simple as “All in favor of Lynn being in charge? All opposed? Motion passes.”
So I decided not to spend a couple strips explaining this, and I’ll toss in some dialogue to clarify later, but this is all being done within the rules of the org. This meeting has a quorum and two board members present (Ruth as Treasurer and Lynn as Secretary)
Works for me.
