    Of all people for him to harass! The only way it could be worse is if he approached a non-attendee guest of the hotel (I’m assuming this is a possibility since Max said they’re in a public space). I don’t imagine this will go over well for Terrence.

    Max totally has this. He’ll knock this guy off his block.

      Change the angle and poke him with your hair, Max!

        Jokes aside, it’s possible that Max, having undoubtedly encountered plenty of overzealous noob staffers, will cut Terrence a generous amount of slack.
        And then Terrence will probably press the issue…

    A bit over-zealous but not too horrible considering who is saying it… and Max hasn’t used the “Don’t you know who I am!” thing yet.

      I think you can mix in a little bit of a power Trip into this situation along with his own ignorance.

    And now I’m trying to think “Who’s left on staff that remembers Max…”

    I think we’ve got Veronica, Lynn, Awesome Roy, and Scrappy. Glenn? …is Glenn still on staff?

    Institutional memory has weird patterns. Anthrocon has two individuals who still have Lifetime Sponsor-Level Memberships, and as neither has shown up in about 4-5 years, fewer people remember #1 Who they are #2 What they look like and #3 That they have those Lifetime Memberships.

    …I should probably tell the current reg director in a properly keyworded email.

      Most of the staff had contact with Max, so it’s not as few as you think… Ruth, Sarah, Barnes, and Noble all worked with Max and attended meetings with him. Heck, I think it was even Max that delivered the news to Ruth that she’d be taking over the role of hosting the cosplay contest. His departure was also fairly recent. I think it’s actually just Terrence that’s never met him before.

        It’s been later than I thought that he left, heh. Noted!

          I can see where it feels like longer since it’s a bi-weekly comic, lol

    This reminds me of over zealous staff members the last convention I helped run where they were only meant to check for wristbands of people in the convention rooms not the public spaces we also had stuff and went trying to kick out members of the public from public spaces…

  • 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.
