what stage in the maturation cycle of her species is Trisssh? like how old is she, seriously? she's been written and drawn as an "adult", but seeing her next to the human adults really raises the question of whether she's short, her race is short, or she's also for some reason a middle-schooler equivalent.

The phrasing of this question is extremely :tvtropes:




The answer is "old enough to put eggs in your brain".

I got the feeling Trisssh's egg-laying talk is just equivalent to Ally's talk of boners and whatnot. Nothing more than snake-girl speak for "I got a huge crush on this dork".

The phrasing of the question could be better, but it is an interesting point. Just how old is Trisssh?

In snake years, or human years? Because I'm pretty sure either way the answer is middle school.

I once asked that, but Gob stated he can't say for spoiler reasons.

I still think she's supposed to be a teenager like the rest. She's always acting tough, but she's pretty insecure underneath :3:

I was trying to be kind of tactful with it -- bluntly asking "is she a kid or an adult?" kind of highlights how hosed up the relationship she has with Anime Protagonist is

I've started making the extras for book 2 already. Mostly the character info page drawings. I'm sorta working on it here and there each week after I've finished my 3 comics and random Patreon stuff. It's coming along slowly, but we'll get there. Though I still think I wanna wait 'til 1 more arc is finished before getting serious about it. But I dunno, we'll see.

As for Trisssh's age, I'd say she's about the same age as Pasqualo and his buddies. A teenage snake bitch. I didn't give that away at first because I didn't want to explain "where she was" before the apocalypse.

I was like "why doesn't Aurora just-" and then I remembered Tubsy's going to hell because he straight up murdered Mark. Whoops.

Nonetheless, this was a cool way to bring back Tubsy without cheapening his death. I mean, it's not like they'll be apart forever because all zombies go to hell. :smith:

You guys aren't getting it. Tubsy went to hell, but it's not a punishment. Mark went to hell, and Tubsy is needed there as an employee to mess with Mark all day long. Looking like he's gonna punch and then stopping...but sometimes, sometimes he punches Mark's brain out through his skull. And he mixes it up so Mark never knows when it's going to happen. This is Tubsy's reward for defending a young lady's honour.

It would be funny, but I don't think the odds of getting into heaven are good for anyone who jacks it so hard he rips his dick off.

Mark was the school's "biggest Christian" in God Dammit (which is hilarious considering how raunchy he is in It Hurts!!), so there's entirely the possibility of him ending up having gone to Heaven simply as a callback of sorts.

To me, Mark definitely has Fragmaster's voice.

Isn't it canon that Mark went to hell? I remember there was, like a filler comic or something Gob did, which was Mark in hell, and ended with the reveal that Tubsy wasn't in hell, which set off a shitload of speculation in the thread as to where Tubsy was.

His eyes have been almost consistently blue for awhile, which is tied to him feeling happy or positive. Maybe that is affecting it?

He's been a cyborg for a long time, though. I think it's just how a bruise fades back into normal colored skin.

His repair systems probably concentrate on rebuilding him as fast as it can, then worries about cosmetics later.

Remember he used to take a looooot a punishment, just being a normal wacky schoolkid! He also had beer bottles broken against his head. Contrast Mark, who ripped off his own dick from fappin' too hard:



Y'know, Greece never did get the chance to get it the gently caress together. Now they are all zombies, probably. :zpatriot:

Speaking of foreshadowing, let's go back and look at some moments when this loving comic was laughing at us behind our back. OH how it LAUGHED!! Also some older strips that are rife with the irony and whatnot.

This first one may be a stretch, but the title "It begins" and the first mention of the upcoming talent show. The talent show indeed began things.



A whole lot of things.

When Katie went missing, she said a lot of things, things that turned out to be absolutely true. Here's something she said that I overlooked before:



Bread crumbs? Red herrings? Don't be fooled by Goblatula's whole 'aw shucks' routine, he's probably been Katie the whole time.

I don't think Trisssh counts as a 'mutant', because she's hinted be from a mythical race that was just isolated from humanity until the "Auroracolypse" but until we meet more of her kind, who knows? Not I!

Speaking of Aurora, she got all emotional when Pasqualo thanked her for being there through thick and thin. Nothing weird about it at the time:



... but as a matter of fact, the talent show was exactly what she was there for.

Going back a bit, Allison saying something a few days before The Night to Remember:



Right before they made up and were friends again. :smith: And then they got Mark killed. But everyone was cool with it after!



... oh, right. Check out the background of panel two. Christie no! :gonk:

Honestly, I could repost the whole comic, because there's tons of things peppered in there that Gob built off of or just weaved into the story. But let's leave with the Best Character:



See you, space cowboy. :patriot:
