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. Trae's Blog

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.
Awkward passive aggressive comments at 30 paces!
They need a new poster.
“BorkCon
We punch Nazis”
Any bets on how fast Jim gets nasty?
Judging by how Jim looks right now, it will get Ugly quick. I bet Jim will try some smear campaigns to put a damper on Bork Con. But I think it might backfire too because people at cons don’t like Nazis and I’m sure that incident might come up.

This is probably one of the only instances where passive aggressive comments are better than pretty much anything. Passive aggressiveness if fairly easy to ignore if you’re busy focusing on other things. Outright hostility and smear campaigns would make for a much more trying weekend.
I’m actually surprised Jim is upset at all. Lynn burned the bridge between them by committing assault and battery while working for Jim’s con, then lying to Jim’s face about it.
Was Garner really that effective as con staff that Jim resents Lynn poaching him?
If Jim runs a smear campaign it will be because he’s gotten used to getting his way and hates a challenge to his power. He hasn’t been petty in the time we’ve seen him in the strip and smearing Bork con is definitely petty.
True it would be petty but he has managed to manipulate staffers to side with him and against anyone he opposes. So he could make some attempts to manipulate con goers to not go to Bork Con. But because he right next to Lynn, he’ll probably do something very childish in my opinion because even fully grown adults can act immature sometimes.

Oh this is gonna be good.
