Grand Ballroom of Doom

By August 1, 2022

Six-panel black and white comic from the series "Grand Ballroom of Doom," in which three men in the same building respond to an active shooter crisis, each believing themselves to be "good guys with guns" helping the situation, trying to convince each other that they, too, are a "good guy with gun"; each suspects the other is actually a "bad guy with a gun."
