On Wednesday evening, out of the clear blue sky, a police officer arrived at my home and arrested me for a crime I did not commit.

So my kitchen was full of guys who like roleplaying games.
It was one of the most bizarre and surreal experiences of ...well, of the month, at least. So the most obvious response is for me to make a series of comics about this misadventure. Here is part one:
