Friendly Rivalry. Friendly, people.

The story about Giants fan Bryan Stow has been sobering for a lot of people this spring, even as we get excited for baseball coming back.

To help Stow and his family through this tragedy, our friends at the Tied House Brewery and Cafe are holding a fundraiser on Monday to watch the Giants and Dodgers play their first game at AT&T Park this season, and remind everyone that this is a friendly rivalry between the two teams.  Big emphasis on friendly.  Booing is allowed.  Razzing is allowed.  Punches are not.

The fundraiser works as such: $15 dollars gets you 3 pints of beer, light ballpark-style appetizers and the ability to watch the game in the Brewery’s Beer Garden at the back of the restaurant.  All proceeds go directly to Bryan Stow’s family fund.

You may even run into a certain writer there after he gets off of work.

For more information, check out this link.

Enjoy the series, and please, enjoy it the right way!

Welcome to the Lunatic Fringe!

This is a webcomic for San Francisco Giants fans, about San Francisco Giants fans, and centered around the San Francisco Giants universe.

Why do something like this?  Why not?  Giants fans are a fun bunch.  Heck, look at the team they follow.  It’s a lot of fun personalities (and one boring one).  The crowd in the stands match them.  How do you think Philadelphia fans would’ve embraced that beard?  Or Mets fans with some wirey-looking batboy pitching?

But at the same time, Giants fans have been through a lot.  They’ve had to live through constant threats of the team leaving town.  They’ve seen hall-of-famers roll through the city over the last 60 years, and walk away without a trophy.  They’ve been condemned by association with Barry Bonds…and many fans stand firm in rooting for him, even if they didn’t always like him.

Baseball is still considered an East Coast sport by many.  Look at the national TV schedules, and you’ll see Boston, New York, Philly, Atlanta and others most of the the time.  But on the West Coast, we love our team just as much.  It’s a different kind of love.  It may have a lot of despair, it may have a lot ups and downs, and it is definitely different.  But we have our epic rivalries.  We have gorgeous stadiums in classic cities.  We have trophies now, And sure, we may have sushi with our garlic fries.

But we are lunatics.  Winning the Series, or not, we are Giants.

So why not have a comic about us?

Enjoy it, San Francisco.
