Nah, it's probably Jimmy's dad. Or a friend of whoever Jimmy's current host was.

No it's just his daughter asking for 7 kilos of coke.

I didn't know that was a thing that existed. Was it a parody of the Saiyan Saga, or Kid Buttlord?

Kid Buttlord. Basically the original Dragonball saga sorta. Alt- Master Roshi was a central figure. I remember the first story arc revolved around him lying about owning a brand-new NES.

Demonchat: Given that the guy's last name in today's comic is Jager, it make actually be Hunter.

Which makes no sense for a multitude of reasons--if nothing else, wouldn't he and Sweetpea have been closest to each other at some point during the destruction of the OSS building?--but that's never stopped this comic before.

But it could just be a coincidence.

Also the story as to why Regan doesn't seem to have a father was told in another comic.

I completely forgot that the little girl in that comic was called Regan too. I wonder if she'll keep using the setting in future comics?

It's okay, I do too. :unsmith:

It's got a lot of flaws (mostly terrible pacing made worse by the author's insistence on making sure that every power is explained and every plot hole is covered) but it's got a bunch of charm and some pretty unique superpowers. The author needs to figure out where he's going with it, though, and quickly; there's only so many pages of wordy training arcs that we can take before interest starts to drop off.

As of recent it's been pretty good to be honest. The pacing has fixed itself from what it was in the Mechanicsburg arc.

So I think I get what's going on here, since the monster took her brain, she actually is the monster. Her personality and thoughts and emotions and all that got transferred to the monster, and the weird replacement poo poo is in charge of her body.

That's loving terrifying, especially because she's a goddamned child. :gonk:

It's not even that her personality got transferred to the monster, it's more that--unlike a stomach or an eyeball or anything--there was already a personality in the organ in question, so the ghost didn't need to supply one.

In MP the body parts change form but continue providing their function--Guuzy still digests food, Rixis still converts light to electrical signals Abel's brain can interpret (though as a result of gaining a personality it only transmits them selectively), Ayo apparently still pumps Bina's blood, and so on.

So this means that Anima is still performing the brain's functions for Violet: controlling and regulating the body, storing memories, thinking. It IS Violet. And yet, because her brain has undergone such a dramatic shift in structure and size--it must have been like a reverse lobotomy. In other words, the point of this scene is that "you cannot save Violet" means that this is just who Violet is now.

In retrospect this makes more sense than any other outcome, and yet it's still a shocking revelation, which is impressive.
