ENCOURAGING EXTREME INDIVIDUALISM IN PURSUIT OF COLLECTIVE GOODWILL

On Behalf of the Mid-Ohio Con Organization

It has been brought to my attention that the controversial artwork originally appearing here at Rabble-Rouser, depicting the assault on Taki Soma as reported by her, unjustly compromised the good reputation of the organization which hosted the Mid-Ohio Convention.

Though the use of the convention's name on said art (which is no longer viewable on Rabble-Rouser) was intended as a point of reference, as it was also used by mainstream industry journalists, dubbing the incident Mid-Ohio-Gate - I would hope the convention organizers will accept this expression of regret for any misrepresentation of their name which could've been construed.

The Mid-Ohio Convention itself, a fine institution promoting the comics medium in the Mid-West Buckeye state (home of the world renowned Cedar Point Amusement Park and birthplace of no less than 7 United States Presidents), was not the scene of the heretofore reported assault. The Mid-Ohio Convention organizers are no more responsible for this association with the incident, than the management of the Watergate Hotel were for the one which in reality did take place on the famed premises under their jurisdiction, denoting a mass institutional cover-up of criminal activity and the hierarchical protection of top executive personnel.

In the world of comic books,
from which I hail,
I'm said to be a visionary
who is ahead of his time,
by some,
and a raving lunatic
rabble-rouser
by others.

I'm loved by many,
while some say that
I make them nervous.

Why, a few even say
that I believe
I'm the messiah.

Imagine that?

Those who don't know me,
can't generally understand
what all the fuss
is about.

You might like to
to read this profile
and then,
maybe this one also
and perhaps even
form your own opinion.

Welcome
to the good rabble.
Feel free to peruse
the web complex below
and please,
do enjoy the ride.

Remember, though,
if it gets a little bumpy,
at times... well,
that's part of what makes
our journey in this life
a little more exhilarating,
isn't it?
