I've long been fascinated with how the alt-right develops elaborate and obscure dog whistles to try to communicate their meaning without having to say it out loud
Stepan Andreyevich Bandera being the most prominent example of that

I'm currently expecting the next panel to be Gear taking a bullet from that gun Ben has been toting around

I mean usually Chekhov's gun takes a little longer to get pulled off the wall, but the comic does take a while between updates.

So, I think today's Bad Machinery is a great introduction to the tone of the Bobbinsverse.

Yeah, he was considering it, but he changed his mind. Which I'm very glad of, because now Charlotte Grote Girl Reporter is a thing that is happening. Also he's been writing an ongoing Giant Days series which is delightful.

I should warn people it does contain Desmond Fishman, though.

All I remember I that the Lavender-skinned lady is probably Fantasy Jesus, and that the protagonist/antagonist dynamic reminded me heavily of Beast Wars.

Edit: Ah, she marries the vampire, who started out drawn as a moody bishonen and turned into Edward Cullen.

In The End, at this point I'm more invested in the hover text story than in the comic. I want Endstorm 2 to be a real movie that exists. It needs to be real.

If we had the money and connections, I can basically guarantee we would be making that exact movie at this very moment :v:

And in a decade or so she can hand it back to Shelley's daughter.

John Allison is one of the very best comic artists out there. I wish he'd gain some confidence instead of endlessly fretting on Twitter about his popularity.

Agreed, but to be fair, he is just so good and so prolific that it is a little sad he's not as widely loved as he might be. Like, he would deserve it.
