Will Trump do an upper-decker in all of the White House toilets? Or will he get someone to do the dirty work for him?
We're all dramatically underestimating the Q community's ability to move the goal posts.

Speaking for myself, as much as I miss shows like SPX and MoCCA, these shows always feel like a kind of petri dish even in normal years. More often than not, I come down with something. I'm not sure I would be comfortable attending one this year.
And then there's the matter of the cartoonists themselves. For some it's a passion, for others a livelihood. And we're talking about potentially two years with no cons. At this level, these in-person events are extremely important for discovering new work and getting discovered.
This release from @SPXcomics is one of the more honest things I've read about the nightmare of attempting to plan an in-person show in 2021. SPX is one of the best comics shows, and it's hard to imagine dealing with this kind of uncertainty with what I assume aren't huge margins.
I've dealt with show planning for work, and it's extremely hard to coordinate this stuff even in a non-pandemic year. That coupled with the sort of advanced cancelation required from venues, et al. adds a lot of pressure when we have no idea how the vaccine rollout will go.

Stern's younger brother, David, was a writer on The Simpsons at the time (following a stint at The Wonder Years). The following year he wrote the episode Homer Alone, which features reference to Home Alone, another iconic film featuring Daniel.
Her character was having an affair with Daniel Stern's in the film. Stern appeared on the Simpsons the same year, parodying his own role as the grown up Kevin Arnold/narrator on The Wonder Years.
For good measure, Yardley Smith playing a pregnant character named "Nancy" in the City Slickers (released the same year).
