The sucker in this strip is actually me; I can't go to shit like this anymore because if I see an earnest motherfucker operating a micro-cidery from inside of a haunted-ass dumpster, I'm going to buy as many reclaimed cat skulls full of cider as they have on hand. I have been to every PAX, so I am not unfamiliar with crowds; I was at PAX 2006, at the Meydenbauer Center, when the crowds became a single organism and began to worship a ball. It was scary, as it is whenever one is present at the…
