You guys don't understand all the work that goes into attending a convention, this is no simple feat of engineering, purchase of tickets, both for the convention and the plane, there's gas to and from the airport, there's pencil fees, paper fees, there's shirt maintenance that must be done, sometimes as many as 3, 4, 5 buttons have to be done in succession, then a pair of pants has to be washed, and folded, - also shoes, don't even get me started there. Socks! Underwear! That's two huge issues right there. A proper haircut, shampooing of hair, it can get very difficult to maintain a healthy scalp 365 days a year, and that doesn't even include leap years. Actually I am spent just thinking about this.
The pencil can't just be an ordinary pencil, it has to be special, very special. The feel of the pencil in the hand, the balance, sharpened point ratio to the length of the pencil, proper grip and fingering. I once had a pencil, it was a good pencil - but even then it did need to be sharpened every now and then. The amount of height you hold the pencil, the angle, the viscosity of how it repsonds in your hand's sweat glands, all of this is an exact science, one false move and you have to start over.
Some would say "Why do you have to start over? Can't you just keep going?" Some would try, but that method never works! Not if you really care, and dammit I do, I care so much you just have no idea. These pencils are like people to me, yeah I know that sounds funny, some would even say maybe that sounds crazy. Not me man, my pencils are my best friends and worse enemies combined. I call them my frenemy pencils, and yes they are all I think of when I am dreaming in my isolation pod. I could tell you stories but I'll spare you the rough details. Just know that I must defeat my pencils before I can be friends with them, and this is no easy process, OK? A man goes into a battle with a pencil, he better be prepared. Lesser men have tried, and it is not pretty. You have to become the pencil, you have to love, hate, and learn to think like the pencil.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I've cleared this with Sunny....  , and he said I can pick up whatever slack is left over.. when Sunny puts down his pencil, I pick mine up.. and that's when the real magic happens. 
I've found some time between my commission list rounds, so I'm more than willing to help Sunny out with his generous effort.
