Right now AnimeCon.org/Chrono LC CEO Ryan Kopf (who runs Anime Midwest, Animinneapolis, Meta Con, Con Alt Delete, Yoi Con, and several other events) is suing me in the state of Illinois over articles I wrote about him on my geek news site Nerd & Tie. Please consider contributing to my legal fund so I can continue to fight this case. Read Trae's Blog | Follow Trae on Twitter
Note: While it’s true that many things are based on actual events, the characters contained within this strip are not meant to be direct analogs for actual people. They are not based off of people living, dead, or undead and any resemblance is coincidental. Nor are they based off of Ferrets.
Because that would be weird.
I think a T-Rex at an Anime con might suffer from olfactory overload…
Not that Max or Veronica should be heroes, but they could tripped that dude the 2 of them could have held him down til the police come.
You say that, but Max has a strong instinct to not get stabbed.
True true. but they could have done a surprise attack. Oh well it’s funnier this way. But the dude is probably on drugs which supposed the IRL guy was on when he did this at No brand this year.
You know you should never ever try anything even remotely heroic against person with weapon, don’t you? Every police(wo)man will tell you that. Cops will always tell you to never try to stop or disarm any attacker unless s/he is going to harm you etc. and it is the last option. You are supposed to be good citizen and keep yourself as safe as possible. If you try something like you just suggested it is the quickest way to become one more corpse in their day and no one wants that. No one. As is said, there are full cemeteries of heroes and their only witness is the grass growing from their bones. (Really, did you just suggest to ground wild running person with knife in hand? By two people untrained in armed combat? Battling otaku lines doesn’t count for this. 😛 )
Yeah, this is what I was trying to get at.
Not to mention, the police are literally right there. Max and Veronica playing hero would actually be more likely to get the two of them hurt, and get in the way of the cops doing their job.
Yeah, my instinct is to get in the guys way… how I’ve managed to avoid living this long without serious injury is a mystery.
