I feel like there's zero chance that this arc will be so mundane as a bully, a criminal, and an adolescent. There's got to be something weird to go in the mix, like a horrible spacebeast, a mystical artifact, or maybe they all switch brains or something. This is the comic that once had a boy be punched into space and return as space-king, not Dawson's Creek or Archie.

Maybe the horrible spacebeast will be the new teacher??? (I'm really just along for the ride right now. This has never been the easiest comic to predict)

The "missing piece" is the supernatural thing. It's missing. There isn't one of those this time, and the mystery is why not.

Calling it now, Linton's drawing comes to life, he falls in love with it, it endears itself to the student body by beating up Blossom, but it's actually a baddie and the girls have to expose the evil naked horse lady and break Linton's heart to save his life. At the end of it, he and Claire start dating.

Huh. Instead of the Robert Cop thing this weekend, looks like we're getting a revival of a two-strip idea he had back in 2009, starring Shelley. I like the About page's summary of the comics journey that led to him reviving this.

That is one of the most stunning representations of the X-Men I have ever seen. Also, "Hippie Nancy Drew and Gender Swap Death Note" is a fantastic description of Mildred and Lottie.

Bongo Bill posted:The "missing piece" is the supernatural thing. It's missing. There isn't one of those this time, and the mystery is why not. There's the possibility that Blossom Cooper's behavior could be stemming from consumption of Davies' Fantabulous and Horrible Growthe Formula, which would be both a supernatural element and a callback. My Bad Machinery knowledge could be failing me if she always was larger than her classmates, though. Keep in mind The Case of the Modern Men lacked a real supernatural element; we could equally be seeing something like Blossom publically trouncing Daz Wickle and earning the admiration of Linton, who now recognizes her as his ideal woman.

I think she was always this big. Plus it seems she started to work out recently. Nothing supernatural so far... I'm really loving this development. Especially the page before the current one, with Shauna maneuvering into the room, Blossom providing her accurate descriptions of Lottie and Mildred and the "baddie" picture. Amazing.

Nah, she's gonna be the Piccolo. The Vegeta will come in the next arc, "The Case of the Space Apemen".

Never re-read the Belgariad btw, the characterisation will be just as good as you remember but you'll realise it's full of really really shady gender and racial politics.

Belgariad/Mallorean always felt like the Dragonball/Dragonball Z of cheap fantasy. Belgoku trains with Master Belroshi and travels the world looking for balls, picking up friends + Ce'Chichi along the way, defeats the demon god, eventually has a son with hidden power Belgohan.

Carrot Scruggs will never appear in a webcomic again, so we may never know. I thought Ryan received the same scholarship, but he won the Wembley-Spratt prize from the British Poetry Council. Still definitely a callback.

I wouldn't wish H&M on my worst enemy. Shauna's really come a long way from nitz riddled, baby at fourteen fate the other characters used to describe her in Scary Go Round to a kickass lady who knows what's important in life. You couldn't sing in a death metal band if you didn't want to scream. Saoshyant fucked around with this message at 10:36 on Sep 8, 2015 |
