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.
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’m not angry with Terrance….. oh it’s a public space, god he is stupid.
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…
