Sorry for the delay, everyone. It is quite difficult to work on comics when you're at a convention. It was a fun convention, and I had my first solo concert, so yay. The Monday comic won't take as long to finish, so it should be up later tonight or earlyish tomorrow.

Panel 1: In this Sunday-style colour comic, Marie ponders Barbara, who is carrying a large backpack and two full red plastic bags. Behind Marie are the words "West of Bathurst by Kari Maaren."

Panel 2: Marie is working on her laptop in the Davies College basement nook. Barbara approaches.

Marie: What's with you?

Barbara: I'm tired.

Panel 3: Barbara sits down.

Barbara: So first there was the Specfic Colloquium. Then World Fantasy. Now it's SFContario, and next weekend, it's Genrecon.

Panel 4:

Barbara:
This is all in the space of thrree weeks. Three! I'm supposed to be marking!

Panel 5:

Marie: Well, you don't have to go to them all.

Barbara: I don't have to...?

Panel 6:

Marie: You could skip a few.

Barbara: I could do what?

Marie: You could...not go.

Barbara: I don't understand.

Panel 7:

Marie: I think I'm the one who doesn't understand.

Barbara: There are books at these things!

Alt-Text: BOOKS, I TELL YOU. BOOKS! BOOKS!
