The fact that no one (except Lynn) ever seems to carry a bag or purse is the most telling indicator that this comic is drawn by someone who has lived their whole life wearing dude pants. 😛
I always just assumed concealed staple holsters hidden in the small of the back. In a cool climate, your sweater or vest covers it, but still permits a fairly quick draw, and the holster permits the attachment of reloader clips.
Or, they could be buying matched pairs of dueling staplers, carried into the meeting by their seconds, but that would be crazy.

That’s not strictly true–I never gave it a thought until this strip brought it up, then I figured she kept them in the ears of her hat.
UnCONventional is a comic that ran from December 2009 to December 2019 about the staff of a small town anime convention and their lives. This is a complete online archive of the comic.

I figured it was just the holdout staplers concealed with tape under the edge of the table, but maybe that’s just me.

I always assumed almost everyone had backpacks that were just offscreen. It IS largely at a college.
