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.
Hey look free candy at Unagi Con’s table.It looks like they could gobstoppers or maybe sprees.
Jim did railroad Lynn out of her position in a shitty way. She literally went out of her way to do a specific job at Unagi con. Take that job away and in a shitty way to boot, what loyalty does she have left, to Jim or Unagi con? Zilch. Jim should have realized that before taking action.
Garner didn’t “want out”.unless he told Lynn something off-screen. When Lynn first made the offer to jump ship Garner replied “why would I do that?”
So they’re 1-1 in my book.
What Jim did is far worse than Lynn “poaching” Garner, especially since she used no form of coercion, trickery, or underhanded tactics to win him over. He asked her for a reason and she gave one he was in full support of because he agreed that leaving a Nazi to run about the con was ludicrous.
Meanwhile, Jim was in the wrong from the get-go. He left his staff to deal with a problem he should have stepped up and done himself and when defied, he used childish, underhanded tactics.
I’m not saying Lynn is a faultless angel, but I’d hardly call her and Jim even.
