In the Words of Alice Cooper - "I love my guns, hot dog and mustard...I love America"
Yay webcomic wank!

So!
Matt Boyd of MacHall and Three Panel Soul wanted to buy a gun. He mentioned it to a co-worker, the day after the Virginia Tech shootings. Another co-worker overheard and reported him, feeling 'unsafe'. Matt was promptly fired.

So, he made a strip detailing this wacky experiance here,here and here.

And then the cops came! Apparently the girl in the second strip looked like a co-worker and the whole comic was considered "Borderline Terroristic." (I swear.)

Since then, this whole thing has made it's rounds amongst the Web Comic communities, and of course, wank will follow.

Like here</> for example.

EDIT: Here's an interview with Matt himself.
And "Terroristic" is indeed a word. See?

Ah! He's not in jail, and is going back to school and will be graduating with his class. Hopefully he is getting a wee bit of therapy because (even though the teacher told him to write anything he wanted) there is still something somewhat perhaps wrong with writing you want to kill everyone and have sex with their dead bodies and telling the teacher "don't be surprised if you inspire the next VT here at [his school]". I mean, maybe just a little.

	:whispers: I read his essay when it was printed in the Tribune, and I was more disturbed by the fact that he's a straight-A student, because there was some crazy-mad [sic] going on there. I'm going to Hell, I know. (Reply to this)(Parent)
