We apologize for the delay, but we seem to be experiencing some technical difficulties. The regular comic will resume this evening. Thank you for your continued patience.
24 hour comics day = 2hour sleep in 48 hours = hey, don’t we have a contest going on around here? I believe we do? But that’s okay. The real question is why did Slightly Off-Topic end up being something other than a comic dealing with university living…
Sorry about the partial posts today. If you received something weird via an RSS feed or got to the site and found no comic strip, it was a case of human error in file naming. Everything is restored now, and there is a bonus Friday strip up at the main site.
Only two strips to go in our current dabbling in continuity…
We had a *big* meeting today, and our contract with the hotel prohibits static (overnight) exhibits in the hallway and limits commerce to the dealers area and rooms, etc. Now, putting up an Artist’s Alley that had to be emptied on a nightly basis and disallowed sales would be a bit of a drag, so we’ve expanded the dealers area to include an Artist Alley.
The deal is such:
We are now in the Dealer’s Hall. We have our own section (inside the main entrance, so almost all traffic through the hall will pass through the alley). You may sell, do sketches, commissions, whatever. Spots are per half-table.
Cost is $40 per half-table, but this includes your registration fee, so for those keeping track, it’s still $5 plus the cost of registration. If you’re thinking of coming and getting a table, let me know. There will be no guesswork involved, so if you want a spot, tell me, and I’ll let you know how to pay and reserve your spot. Before the con, I’ll send out a seating chart so everyone knows where they’re going to be.
Because this is inside the Dealer’s Room proper, you won’t have to pack up your table at night as the room is secured. However, if you want to attend other con functions or speak on panels, you should think about who could watch your area while you’re out of the room.
Questions? Email me.

Daniel,
I’ve received all your contest entries, but the email address provided keeps bouncing when I reply. This weeks yielded you another four points!

Greetings! Doing a bit of housecleaning. Anyone want some nearly pristine copies of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Bible and the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Bible? Toss me $10 for shipping and they’re yours…
Just a quick post to check that the upgrade went okay. I switched from using the slightly out-of-sync fantastico to the built-in auto-upgrade procedure within wordpress.
It’s been a weird month for celebrities. I thought it appropriate to take a moment and think back on those we’ve lost. The strip is a bit large, so you can find it here.
Clearly, I don’t own the copyrights to any of the photographs used (if you do and this annoys you, let me know). Though I believe it is fully self-explanatory if you don’t get the Kirk Douglas reference, you may want to have a look here.
Dear L’il Kim,
I think we at Slightly Off-Topic have been more than fair in dealing with you and your regime. We’ve welcomed you to our home, offered you a recurring role in the strip and The News Guy even offered to interview on his broadcast. Imagine our surprise then as we watched the Daily Show this evening and saw YOU in studio talking to Mr. Stewart. At first we thought that it might have been an impersonator, but at the 2:28 mark, John refers to you as L’il Kim! That’s our thing! How could you? After all this time?
Well, I understand that you’ve got to run your regime as you see fit. I want you to know that I’m not hurt, I’m just disappointed…
