Episode +01—5 U2 Stories: 4 Are True

Last month I asked my Twitter followers for stories about meeting U2. “HELP ME, #U2fam,” I begged. “My first new Achtoonbaby cartoon will be about random fan encounters with U2, the funnier and weirder the better. It can't just be ‘I waited in line for them to come out of their hotel and Bono said hi to me.’ IT HAS TO BE FUNNY AND WEIRD AND FUN TO DRAW. Tell me your story!”

Now I’m happy to bring you the result of this team effort. Some of these stories have been edited a bit in the interest of me not painting until May (a couple of them went on for pages and pages!). But I’ve included what I consider to be the juiciest parts. And I made the fan characters kind of generic because a few of these people are known in the fandom.

As the title here indicates: I’ve made up one of these. Can you guess which story isn’t true?
