Dating is pretty hard for Alison.



Come to think of it, I bet Rich is an Innate too. So he's probably not considered chromosomally stable anymore.

Dang, I thought that was the case, but couldn't remember and didn't have time to check the archives so I went with an assumption of narrative tropes. SFP pretty firmly rejects those so I should have known better

Yes I already know that Satan Fridge was killed off several years ago by Sam's girlfriend Claire which eventually lead to Sam taking control of the Ninja Mafia.

Wait, Sam & Fuzzy is still running? :psyduck:

I quit after Sam hosed up being king/Fuzzy turning out to be an alien robot clone or some poo poo, are we still on that or what?

Yep and nope respectively. Right now Sam is a burlesque dancer infiltrating the lair of a pair of grotesquely rich/generally grotesque cat-people, and Fuzzy hasn't been seen in months.

(Also, Fuzzy's not an alien robot clone. He has an alien robot clone. Very different!)

There's also the time when Feral(?) kissed Allison, who then reflexively punched Feral out of the window of the diner/pub/whatever they were in. Allison was very apologetic about it afterwards but I get the feeling that she prefers to have girl friends rather than girlfriends.

I had a visceral reaction to "'Idiot' is English for 'baka', by the way". I find whomp to be between regular and underwhelming taken at face value, but the alt text steps it up a few levels. It's like octupus pie, except for all the cringy high school people I knew/was instead of the post-college years.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
drat you, 23 Liminal Blossom Punctures the Heart of the Unrepentant, Deliciously! 82 White Chain Born In Emptiness Returns To Vanquish Evil just got done with the exposition! You can't just show up and stab him from behind, it doesn't matter what Preem Vash's orders are!

Come to think of it, we've got Preem Vash and 23 Liminal Blossom showing up in what is very much Preem Nand's territory to kill one of his guests (albeit one that was deceiving him for some purpose). Somehow, I don't think Preem Nand is going to take this particularly well.

Preem Vash is from here, but I don't remember where the other guy is from. Guess I need to reread.

23 Liminal Blossom was recently posted on Abaddon's tumblr. Preem Vash is a member of the Golden Pearl pleasure guild, and was the gangster whose operation 82 White Chain was busting at the start of the comic. Presumably this attack is vengeance for what 82 White Chain did earlier.

Hey speaking of K6BD, back a while ago the author asked for suggestions for fighters in the big battle. I'm assuming this was for the flashback battle in the last few pages. Has anyone been able to connect any of the combatants to the suggestions? I tried, but no luck.

I think that's still upcoming, actually. If there's going to be that many suggestions taken, it's going to amount to more than a single (albeit large) panel. (Also I'm still holding out hope for seeing Ingvsld actually pop up).

Operant, if that's the last we see of Kung-Fu Angel I am going to be super upset.

On an unrelated topic, we never did follow up on what happened with the creator of Goblins. He eventually posted an eight-thousand word blog post that conveyed the following information:

Tarol Hunt, the short version posted:

I usually get anxious when I miss a deadline, and stay away from the Internet. This time that snowballed into full-on panic attacks that happened every time I worked on or even thought about the comic. I spent weeks so mired in guilt and anxiety that I was not able to think coherently, talk to other human beings, or go outside. Eventually I started losing track of reality a little bit. My wife, who is clearly some kind of saint, got me to draw something, which helped relieve the pressure. I'm going to try to feel less guilty about missing deadlines and less anxious about reader criticism from now on.

Regardless of how you feel about the comic, that's a super-lovely place for a guy to be in.

This is about to happen in about ~5 pages so hold on to your hats. I'm then going to ask for suggestions again! I originally wanted to kick off this part of the comic about 10 pages earlier, but I realized I needed to move some exposition a little earlier than I originally planned to. Now that we sort of know what is actually going on, I am going to blow my ridiculous action sequence budget.

We have a little more learning to do about just what is up with angels in the KSBD universe. For instance, it's best not to confuse an angel with their body :smug:.

(wouldn't count 82 out yet)

If you follow my tumblr you'll probably get all kinds of KSBD character designs thrown at you, so if you don't mind being mildly spoiled on at least the appearance of a few upcoming people in the comic, you can follow it for an even broader appreciation of how weird I am.
