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.
I see where you’re going with this.
No names, but while I’m certain your Dave is a creep, I believe the real-life person. He doesn’t deserve to have his livelihood (voice work, and con appearances) taken away by (so far) unsupported allegations. “That’s all I have to say about that!”
Consider that maybe some of the victims in the situation you’re describing aren’t strangers to me, and that I believe them fully. And that the person you’re defending is someone who has been blacklisted from a con I help run for about a decade.
That real life situation won’t be discussed further on my website though. This story may take queues from the real world, but it is a work of fiction. Any further comments on the real life events you’re describing will be deleted.
Queues? It’s taking it’s haircuts and/or line waiting from reality? Odd combination. Might want a cues there, since the statement is of some importance as far as commenting expectations for us peanut gallery types.
Yes, I meant “cues” — I just was in a rush before work when I wrote that comment.
Figured something like that. It’s hard to turn the grammarian reflex off I ‘spose. Well, plus it seemed like an important post as it were.
also, Unsubstantiated?….there are literal photos and screenshots of emails and text chains
I see what you did there. This comic started in December of 2009, this said event could have happened quite prior to when we meet Tara as she attended her first meeting.
Well, I am glad it wasn’t Troy
Yeah — I started writing Troy as too much of a depressed nihilist years ago for him to work in this story.
Also, there’s a real guy named Troy Harrington who has tried to start a voice acting career. He started after I created the character, and while I don’t think they’d ever be mistaken for each other, I’ve tried not to be too mean to Troy since that happened.
Fair enough.

Oh climb off the cross.
Your comment is not the only one that was deleted. It was just the only one that disagreed with me, and I left your original post intact.
Honestly, I thank you for that. I’ve made my point and you let it stay, I won’t start a flame war.
Next up, Unagi Con announces its GOH: Dave Peviani!
Guys, when I say I’m gonna delete stuff, I mean it. I don’t care if you agree with me or not.
Double checking, the incident Lynn is talking about hasn’t been in the comic before? The punching people has been, certainly, but I’m very bad at recalling previous plotlines.
Pre-comic. The first con depicted in the comic is in 2010.
Right, I got that it happened before the comic started, wasn’t sure if it had been mentioned before. I think maybe hinted towards, but perhaps not.
Dave was in the first con arc though wasnt he? the guy the VO who was DBZ narratir called asshole in hus narrator voice
You’re thinking of Troy Harrington. Dave Peviani hasn’t shown up before.
Yea I realized that after I read the archives I was thinking of the real-life voice actor who was the original VO for a character named after a Bird and has the only 3 form weapon on the show whose name is similar to a kinda rock but spelled differently
Kinda kicking the hornet’s next with this one, aren’t you?
It’s the only way to write a story about hornets.
