SomeMathGuy posted:It really is too bad that Batiuk is a lazy hack and will probably just use this for a few weeks' worth of "Man this sure used to be a dumb joke comic and not the brilliantly written dramatic masterpiece it is now" with a stable time-loop excuse, I'd love to see somebody spill the beans on something big, permanently altering the timeline. Or somebody accidentally gets killed, creating the Age of Funkpocalypse. I'm eagerly awaiting the meeting between pre-cancer cancer wife and wife 2.0. When Lisa discovers her eventual fate, she decides to leave town forever so Les doesn't suffer all the heartache of watching her slowly die. This creates an anti-funkyverse where Les is a penniless hack, eeking out a living as a busboy at Montoni's and dreading coming home to inevitable publisher's rejection letters.

^^^ Or where knowledge of her eventual fate causes her to redouble her efforts to beat the cancer before it even starts. As a result she survives, killing Les's entire reason for existence.BlankIsBeautiful posted:Mark Trail Way better than the A3G teardrop tattoos. Luann  The Amazing Spider-Man  Often in this sort of comic (specifically, the Goofy Superhero genre), when somebody figures out the secret identity there's this whole rigamarole where they try to convince the person that he or she was mistaken. I'm glad to see that option appears to be off the table this time. Sally Forth  The Heart of Juliet Jones  It never occurred to me to wonder how long this sort of thing has been going on, but now I see the answer is "longer than you would have expected."

I haven't, I just came into the story while he was in prison so all I've seen is he sometimes says one word of two before being cut off by "next time" and seizing up from psychic waves crashing into his brain to warn him someone is going to try and kill him any second now.

He's shown some great dickishness in past storylines. Although it might have been his teacher/father who was the huge dick? Or maybe they both had their own dickish adventures. Either way, dickitude runs in the family.
