Why yes, this WAS based on something that happened at an actual con. I did take some creative liberties with it, though; the chihuahua wasn't peeing.

In defense of their owner, they did notice what was happening, were appropriately mortified, and cleaned up the mess before hurrying away. Security was notified, but nothing was done, as I saw that same chihuahua in the Artist Alley several more times. I recognized it because it had lettering on its harness that said, "Emotional Support Villain" (hence the title).

Anyway, I've been paranoid of service animals at cons ever since. I understand their importance to people's mental health and wellbeing, but they need to be sufficiently housebroken to not relieve themselves in the middle of a crowded Artist Alley. It's a potential health hazard, it's not fair to the con center or the cleaning staff, and it can't be good for any cosplay that has a long train.

Also, special thanks goes out to my friend Haley Rivers for providing the punchline. When I told my Discord channel about the incident, that was their response.


Rock on, guys, and never stop drawing.
