HALLOWEEN INCENTIVE ON TWC IS HERE!!!
It’s a return to form as we explore the types of ridiculous costumes you might never find at the local Spirit Halloween store!
As for this comic…
This might be the longest run of comics not to feature any female characters in-frame. Even with the nerd shop comics, I’ve always put Emily in the background for variety. But no such variety here. Just dudes. Dudes being dudes. How quaint.
Hey, sitting requires all kinds of spine.
O.K., not what he means, but whatever.
In a physical sense, yes. Indeed.
Still. No reason for me to spoil a good line. Did I? I hope not.
I did, didn’t I. Sorry.
Unless you’re in an e-sports team winning competitions for prize money….
True. Though something tells me Satan is NOT playing on that level.
That something being the rollover text? 😉
Does Atari owe Satan any monies made from that investment?
I doubt it. The Atari that exists now is no longer the same corporation. And if royalties were coming in, they’d likely go to his holding companies. Which he no longer owns.
I like to think he cashed out Atari and moved his money to EA, then cashed out EA and moved to Unity. So now he has done his dough.
He’s just following that evil CEO from company to company, huh?
It gets worse. Those times where you’re penniless is usually when you have all the time to game.
I find that once you’ve got a steady gig, you’ll be able to afford more games than you have time to play.
And while I’m a default-normal mode kind of guy, I can understand playing it on Easy.
It’s like the difficulty description in Shadow Warrior 2: “If by the end of an exhausting day, all you need is to feel like a goddang superhero”.
Honest admission: I recently played through the first Bayonetta on easy mode. I was playing through it because it had been a long while since I’d spent time with the game, and I wanted a pleasurable experience. And the first Bayonetta is NOT pleasurable on normal mode. (They got easier as they went along.)
Fortunately, and an emergency veterinarian who works 3 12 hour shifts a week, I am neither penniless and have time to game
You, good sir, are living the dream. My wife has an uncle who’s a vet. Nice guy. Owns A LOT of real estate. Not hurting for those pennies at all.
Is this the arc where Satan becomes a streamer/Vtuber? He could pull it off, he surely has the charisma to make it work.
While hilarious, I don’t think we’d be heading in that direction.
He’s got charisma, you might even say he’s a man of wealth and taste.
But maybe not this satan, no not this one.
Now that’s a song lyric.
Never felt such a rush? Better not let his significant other find that out.
I think that bedroom-type activities have really lost their thrill for the S-man. I mean, it’s all old hat for him now.
One of us! One of us!
Ok, looking at the background again and seeing the attention to detail, keeping continuity among the books across each frame and from different angles (meaning that they are drawn individually) makes me pretty certain that the last comic had to be a deliberate “Spot the Difference”.
Cant fool me EG.
Well you can fool me. It’s pretty easy to fool me actually.
Unlike perhaps my wife. And some of her friends. Oh yes, and Captain Johnson. Come to think of it, most people are less easy to fool than I am.
The backgrounds are pre-made and reused in each panel. That’s how I know there are no cool Easter eggs. They would be extra work.
To be clear, there are MULTIPLE reused backgrounds. I’ve drawn that book shelf from multiple angles. But there are no eggs in any of them.
Well, fooled me.
I concur, on prima facie, there are no “eggs” on the bookshelf.
It is a pity though, I was hoping that that was a captive copy of Librum Plaudens on the shelf attempting to escape.
I’m thinking the cabal will soon learn Phoebe is her father’s child . . . though perhaps her mother will enter the strip. Hmmm . . . y’know, for some reason, I’m thinking Phoebe and Hannah are half-sisters. A strange pairing, and yet . . . it did enter my mind for some reason.
Unrelated. And very different.
Yes, I suppose why I thought that is because there’s Phoebe, daughter of Satan, yet kind, generous, considerate; there’s Hannah, skilled at deceiving her religiously idiotic parents. They are dissimilar, yet perhaps each is a mirror image of the other.
Hannah is, to be fully transparent, somewhat derivative of a character I’d originally dreamed up for a Phoebe prequel comic that would have looked at a high school-aged Phoebe and her offbeat friendship with a rebellious girl with very religious parents. I never went down that road because, well, prequels suck. But Hannah does reflect the concept a little.
Actually, Canada no longer mints pennies. So everyone there is penniless. (Except for coin collectors.) 😉
