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.
*Waits one year to see how big of a disaster the gophers are at Unagi Con next year.
Hmm. That seems a mistake on Jim’s part. Generally, you don’t want to leave the defeated an avenue to come right back to haunt you. If he could rustle up that kind of support, it’d seem he could just as easily oust her entirely.
He doesn’t want her in charge of anything anymore to punish her. But at the same time he also doesn’t want to lose the invaluable skills she gives to Unagi Con.
Look back at what he did with Garner when he was still the problem. (http://www.unconventional-comic.com/2017/06/basic-group-dynamics/)
“I may have to subtly break apart any clique he’s started to form, and distract him with some task to keep him in check.”
Jim may think he knows what he’s doing, because he’s been dealing with people like Garner for a decade. But I get the feeling that he doesn’t quite understand the depths of what he’s dealing with when trying to handle Lynn in the same way.
Lynn has already made a mistake. Jim is not mad about the Nazi-punching.
he’s mad about Lynn lying to his face.
I still find this the least mature route to go in this instance.
Its just as much work to come up with evidence and confront the individual about the fabrication. But because Jim is the way he is when it comes to confrontation, he has to handle it this way. Which I just don’t understand – its confrontation either way. Just confrontation he’s comfortable with.
