One person found it offensive (the subject in question left unnamed) and belives he can sue me for Internet Harrasment (which is a crime or something where I live)

Um, the 'where you live' and 'whether or not it's a crime there' things would be nice to know in attempting to answer your question. You can sue people for some things in some places that you can't sue them for elsewhere.

Do you live in a trailer in Arkansas by any chance?

Scotland, and Internet Harrasment is a crime. What I want to know is if this is harrasment or not and can he prove who he is.

Or tell him to polish your caber.

I did some looking around, and apparently you can get in trouble for "internet harrassment" if you direct a message towards someone with the intention of inflicting emotional harm. I do not think that posting a comic here exactly constitutes direct harrassment, though. (Then again, there is probably a lawyer out there who could figure out a way to define what you are doing that way.)

As long as you do not continue to antagonize this person, I would think his or her case would be rather weak. Harrassment usually implies repeated actions. Without a pattern of harrassment, most cases can be simply dismissmed as a single case of bad judgment.

But don't quote me on this. Free legal advice is worth what you pay for it...

You can probably be sued for not using any punctuation in your comic.

B-6!
You harassed my battleship!
Shit, man, I'm in big trouble! I got really drunk last night, and I accidentally harassed somebody!
Oh, no, man. What are you gonna do? Are you gonna leave the country?
Brad... I have some terrible news! Last night, your friend Timmy... he... he harassed himself!
Oh, God! Not Timmy! Why would he do that?

So, what, if I talk shit about this guy's dead brother down at the pub, and he overhears me, can he sue me for that too? Jesus.

I think the intent is the important part. That, and doing it repeatedly, just to inflict harm on the person...

Comic Contest #6 - Wirthling Sucks Big Time by gabe_billings
2-21-01
Well, wirthling poll results are in. Lowpass readers think he sucks more than cauliflower, Wayne Newton and cholera.
34 percent of readers think stoning is too good for him, and 83 percent would like to see him ravaged by woodchucks.
Somebody even wants to see him sodomized by a donkey.
That one kinda came out of left field.
Guilty.

Wirthling, Master of His Domain by gabe_billings

Man, not only does wirthling suck, he's late too. Here it is 11:20 and still no votes.
He's probably busy jacking off to a Victoria's Secret catalog he stole from his neighbor's mail slot.
You know what we should do? Go over to his house and 'help him along' with his votes.
By 'help him along' I assume you mean beat him with baseball bats?
Of course.
Let's go then.

Wirthling Sucks, Volume MCXXIV by gabe_billings

Wirthling really sucks.
I hear you, man.
No, I'm serious. He's a real asswipe. A goatfucker of the highest order. A turd-sniffing felchmonkey.
I get it, I get it. Wirthling blows.
He watches Dawson's Creek and reads Family Circus.
Let's lynch him tonight.

Is the Dis Wirthling Contest Over Yet? by gabe_billings
3-22-01
I got a riddle for you. How man wirthlings does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
I give up. How many?
Who gives a shit? Wirthling's a big penis, and no one likes him but his mom. And even she has her doubts.
That's a pretty stupid riddle.
I'm a pretty stupid person. What's your point?
Nothing, really.

This plan is perfect. Wirthling will never know what hit him.
You sure it'll work?
Of course. Once he falls through the trapdoor, the lemmings pour out of this chute. When they're finished the walls will start to move in.
Ha ha! Into the garbage chute, flyboy! But why are we using Ricky Martin as bait?
Two words, my friend. Repressed homosexuality.
Tell me... Were you born this stupid or did you have to work at it?

That wirthling sure is a smelly bunt.
A what?
Oh, I'm sorry. I can't say the letter 'b'. It's all due to a trauma I suffered when I was a schoolboy. I was attacked by a bat.
A cat?
No, a bat.
I see.

Comic Contest 22: wirthling sucks... literally by gabe_billings
4-12-01
I'm wirthling, the man-whore, and I like to choke down cocks in Time's Square for spare change.
Times Square doesn't have an apostrophe, you git. And by the way, do you take Discover?
Wirthling was the best lay I ever had. And that's including Ricky Martin.
Wirthling is the biggest cheese dick ever to walk the Earth. And that's including Ricky Martin.
I hope all you faggots can stay in one place for me to get my truck and drive back here so I can run your pansy asses down.
If all you pissants are about through, I've got a twelve o'clock with wirthling's bum.

What's the good word?
We've got problems. Our taunting of wirthling has decreased dramatically in the last several weeks.
What are we gonna do?
We'll need to implement a proactive plan, posthaste, to bring our wirthling dissing up to ISO9002 standards.
We probably should have started before the last panel.
That's ok. We can always make more. Go get the megaphone.
