DANG IT.  I had this page ALMOST ready to go at, like, 6am this morning but just gave out with about a third of it left to color in.

And that’s not even the best part.  Remember how I just didn’t do a regular page last week, and said I would hold back the one I’d been working on for THIS week?  Well, it turns out that I actually meant the FOLLOWING week, because this isn’t that page.  Halfway through inking THAT one, I realized it needed at least one page coming before it, and suddenly I went from being a whole week ahead of schedule to being several days BEHIND schedule.  Hence the whole “staying up all night to try and get stuff done” thing.

But on the bright side: Table Dispenser.  That’s exactly the kind of absolute stupidity I love coming up with.  See, the NEXT page establishes that everybody’s sitting down at a long, banquet-style table, despite it being well established at this point that the dining hall has a bunch of little round tables instead of a single long one.  Now, I easily COULD have said that dinner would be served in the conference hall instead, to be more fancy or something, but out of nowhere the idea of The Cap’n using this machine literally squirting a table out hit me and there was the comic!  I just wish I could have got it done without passing out half-way through.

Also, it might have been for the best that there’s still a half-inked page waiting to be finished, because I’m gonna be driving back and forth all weekend for a convention.  Which, yes, means there’s another string of Conventional Wisdom comics starting up soon, so look forward to that!

EDIT: Okay, not only did I indeed manage to get a fresh Voting Incentive done (and once again go REALLY overboard on some details) but there’s ALSO some fresh Patreon comics that just went up over there!  Hey, I’m spending the last weekend of February distracted by convention stuff.  I had to do most of my “Holy crap, I said I was going to get this done before the end of the month!” panicking done a little early this time.
