    >_< and since airsoft riffles don' have orange barrel tips someone thought they were real and called the cops

      Well, actually, they usually DO come with orange tips. Teeny, tiny orange tips that are hard to see from a distance…

    Curious about something with other cons and how their staff handle certain shenanigans (seeing the last panel made me think about it all of the sudden xD) Does anyone ever run into issues with cosplayers that go up to tall as heck parking garages and stand up on ledges for, at least a hour, sometimes 2+ hours for “super awesome” pictures? Not groups most the time, but like only 2 people and no one else. I really hope this comes across right but i’ve seen a lot of people talking about cons they are staff of or used to be of in the comments xD

      Ask Dr. Conway about that one. (Anthrocon) The result of which our attendees lost the use of the rooftop terrace of the convention center for the weekend. Plus we then had to pay for round the clock security on the roof for the entire weekend. Mr Conway had a talk with “Mr H”. I’m not sure if they found all the body parts…….

    Yeah… if you’re going to do a photoshoot, or a film… have someone with a large sign or something. Not only helps keep people from wandering into your shot, helps keep the police from being called.

    On the other hand, how long before some mass killer first hands out flyers about the ‘realistic paintball game’ they’re about to play?

    Pretty sure this happened at No Brand one year – kid got walked through the lobby by the cops in the middle of cosplay judging so they could verify if he was part of the con, because someone looked out their window and saw his prop guns in his car.

      The one I heard was people were actually roleplaying fights with various weapons in the parking garage and on the ramps.

    On the one hand, if they’re outside, they’re technically out of convention jurisdiction (at least depending on the con’s contract with the venue).

    On the other hand… this is why my con doesn’t allow airsofts, even if they’ve been permanently disabled.

    I keep thinking of our filming for Awesome Rangers 2. The Ghostie-Wosties were a sheet with eye holes, over top a party hat. They looked a lot like KKK members, which was on purpose. Filming at the park… next to a large black family reunion… lots of very quick damage control, that those are COSTUMES worn by ACTORS who are playing VILLAINS.

  • Announcing My Next Comic - Peregrine Lake ( December 6th 2019 )

    Peregrine Lake

    So today saw the final update to the ten year run of UnCONVentional, and with it comes the announcement of my next project -- Peregrine Lake. Now that's just a title and a splash image, and since the actual comic won't premiere until April I thought I might fill you in on a few of the (non-spoiler) details.

    First and foremost, yes -- Lynn and Megan will continue as main characters in the new comic. It will be in continuity with UnCONventional, but I'm writing it as though the reader has never read that first comic. Sort of like how Lynn first canonically appeared in Full Circle (which has been deleted from the internet).

    Secondly, Peregrine Lake will be set roughly ten years after UnCONventional ended -- or five years after the last bit of the epilogue. UnCONventional took place in real time, which often forced me to cut stories short. This comic will take its time to tell the story...

    ...so let's just hope I don't get the technology too wrong.

    The comic will start updating in April 2020, but I haven't come up with an exact date yet. If you want to know when it's happening though, there are a few ways you can keep informed. First off, there's always the website which has an RSS feed you can follow. Also I will (obviously) be posting updates to my Twitter and Tumblr accounts. Finally, the UnCONventional Facebook Page will become the Peregrine Lake Facebook page over the next few months, so make sure you've liked and followed it. And, y'know, obviously this blog works too.

    I'm really excited for what's coming next, and I can't wait to share it with you.

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.
