Can anyone tell what that medicine is? All I can read is "exotropin 15mg [...] Cl take 2x daily" and "ability to dance" in the smaller text. Some cursory googling makes it look like exotropin is a HGH.

Taking a wildass guess, I suppose they are anti-hallucination meds, and Rad flushing them out is simultaneously him preserving his own existence as a hallucination and a metaphor for Erin's inability to confront reality.

Sam and Fuzzy points out the inherent issue in any organization or partnership where Mind Control is a possibility. That's the loving problem, indeed.

Its also heavily implied that it's her doing this poo poo, pitching her voice up and talking to herself. It's really hosed up.

Honestly I've always wanted a comic about someone who loses their mind in self-imposed isolation and dies alone. That may sound sarcastic but it's not.

I want to think that the video game stuff was forced in to get it put up on a video game website and that they'd prefer it to have less video games in it. If it winds up getting incredibly savage towards the concept of video games in a way that pisses of the viewer base of The Escapist my theory will be confirmed.

PleasingFungus posted:There's no mind control involved, though. I just meant in general. It's not technically mind-control, but it's still mind-whammy bullshit, and once that's entered play you can't ever really truly trust your allies again, because who knows if and when they're using it? I was just referencing the cliche of "Bad Guy owns mind-control ray, lieutenant realizes that they've been mind-controlled after seven episodes of unwavering loyalty."

Doc's bad at the "stealthy assassination" part of being a ninja, he completely falls for letting the villain explain his plot, back and forth banter, etc. Captain Oblivious posted:Well good news, because this chapter is about putting the King Radical plot line to rest. It's the end of the comic. Very true. Honestly the fact that it's ending is why I'm still reading day to day and not just catching up every six months. I'm so tired of King Radical but I'm willing to wait it out to see it wrap up in real time.

Now just watch, after King Radical is dead and Doc is stranded in the Radical Lands this will all end with him being crowned the new King Radical.

Even better: The doc dies, killing radical in the process. Chuck arrives just as the final showdown concludes. While he's scratching his head wondering what the gently caress, little tattoo-hummingbirds flit down and put "MOST RAD!" on his hands. And thus, the circle is complete.

SlothfulCobra posted:Does anyone read Erin Dies Alone on The Escapist? It's kind of a darker spinoff of Critical Miss, but they're taking the schtick where Erin hallucinates videogame characters more seriously. For a person who apparently has been locked in self-imposed isolation for months, and subsists entirely on Hot Pockets, Erin appears to be in remarkably good physical condition.

If the closest person to a demon when the demon dies is another demon, then the demon that died dies permanently. Demon.

7c Nickel posted:I'm getting real sick of King Radical, he should have just stabbed him to death two pages again and been done with it. The issue with Radical is that it wasn't really clear for a long time that he was the true story-long plot of McNinja rather than a transient villain that just kept loving going, so we all kept going 'is that it for- no? Again?' over and over until we were sick of it. Brought To You By posted:So in Demon, I think Hunter just won. Just caught up with Demon. Didn't Gellman say it was possible for a demon to duplicate themselves? I figure that's where we're going. Also, I love Hunter's incredibly stupid plan. Replace every democratically-elected leader of the future world with a person happy to ruthlessly and first-handedly murder a dozen people to reach that position and think that this somehow leads to lasting peace.

Demon's less an actual coherent story and more of a mythbusters-style thought exercise with a loose narrative to connect the various stunts, all three major characters are basically the author expositing directly to the audience with very little attempts to obfuscate that. Like it's a fun read, but picking apart its narrative is kind of pointless

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:I think I've forgotten a plot point somewhere; why is Sam so reluctant to tell Fuzzy why he's freaked out now about Brain? He's gotten into the habit of keeping secrets from everyone, and he's gotten out of the habit of trusting (or liking) Fuzzy. Also, I think, Sam's not at all confident that Brain actually is Fridge (as opposed to just doing a good impression to spook Sam), & so doesn't want to say anything on the subject until he has more solid information.

Demon is basically a big rip-off of a 10-year-old Sam & Fuzzy plotline, in a certain sense.

The latest thrilling chapter of Demon has started today. It was kicked off with a comment from Shiga, himself. quote:Hey everyone! Jason Shiga here! Just wanted to drop in and give you all a little warning about this chapter. Up till now, we've endured cum knives, convoluted plans of every sort, skyscraper-skydive battles that lasted for ages, cum farts, and all sorts of things. What the hell could Shiga possibly throw at this thing that would make him think we "couldn't take it"?

Scene: Hunter is standing in a darkened booth. He is hunched over a table, writing on a small slip of paper. Zoom in closer, we can't quite make out what he's writing, is it some nefarious master plan? Is it a death warrant? Pan over Hunter's shoulder. We can now read what's on the paper. At the top the words VOTER REGISTRATION FORM are clearly printed. Further down there is a checked off box, next to it a cartoon elephant.

They were talking about non-suicide demonic transfers earlier, the 33 day rule. It's still a stupid as gently caress plan, but it might not involve chain suicides up to the leader level.

That does raise a bit of a question--if a demon possesses someone, and leaves non-lethally,do they just kind of pop back into control of their body?
