I'd play that game.

Also note that during this entire two strip conversation that Johnny and his pals have been having this very animated discussion about Max and Issac's mutant superpowers in front of an entire class full of other people.

I'm getting some old school Phantasy Star vibes coming from that image. I assume that was your inspiration, right? Either way it owns.

Do we know of any other gingers with hair Stephen might be thinking of? I'm not sure if Jeff qualifies as "ginger" but looking over the cast page he's the only one who might fit and I feel the vagueness of Johnny's description is setting up some kind of wacky misunderstanding.

And sure enough....

He otherwise looks exactly the same. Clearly he rolled his pants down when he realized he wouldn't get to join in a fight. Because rolled up pants are... tactically superior.

Okay, I love Dimitri here. In panel 3 he looks about ready to step in and stop Stephen. In panel 6, he sees it’s all handled and goes along with a ‘cool as a cucumber’ smile on his face. Aw yeah Dimitri, there’s no need for Danger today.

SupSatire

Take a look at the pants. One of those isn’t Dimitri.

cleverdan

I’m looking at it pretty closely, it’s very strange. I think it is supposed to be Dimitri. He’s got the book, the shirt, and the wristband. I’m assuming the pant leg thing was a mistake, or he’s only got one rolled up.

We are seeing different legs though, so maybe he's trying this new hip style where you roll up one leg but leave the other unrolled. Gotta stay up on fashion, ya know.

Maybe it's more practical than that! Maybe it's his kicking leg, and he doesn't want to get blood on it when he shunts ninjas' hearts out through the backs of their chests with it.

I'm glad we get to see Johnny and his avant-garde bully crew again. There's something amazing about the way they acknowledge their irrational fears and immediately follow with, "Oh, don't get us wrong. We're still going to bash your face for being different."

We are in the presence of masters of their craft. After all, what better way to enhance one's jerkspertise than acknowledging one's actions are jerk-like and irrational, and then persisting despite this self-awareness?

Some horrors are too great to show in a family friendly comic. Some things are best left unseen.

But honestly I think it's best left to the imagination. I think Zach played this right.

The tentacles secrete a hallucinogenic venom that also provides a sense of euphoria. Max didn't notice the hallucinogenic properties because, well, have you seen the town he lives in? Kid is tripping balls and doesn't even know it.

I dunno, considering the kinds of students and teachers they have here, some kid waving his arms through the air like that probably isn't too out of the ordinary.
