Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?

I genuinely thought it was just female Patrick and this is like a thought of his he's purging. Then again its not like you can tell characters apart when they have close-ups either.

Is... is that definitively not the case? That was my first assumption too.

Other guesses: actual intruder who's causing this mess (doubtful), weird sibling absorbed before birth who exists only as a psychic presence in Patrick's mind because superpowers.

Cassandra Nova would gently caress this setting UP
I hope she does honestly

E: they're not going to do this, but given Patrick's powers he could reasonably have copies of every personality he ever read deeply in his mind. All their memories and mental habits. In that case his entire internal world could be a microcosm of the world he wants to build, a systolic mindscape created by his own basically authoritarian tendencies. But they're not doing anything that cool.

So what you're telling me is that in side of Patrick is a strong female protagonist fighting against a system that seeks to get rid of her?

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

OK, that's exactly the kind of dumb I'd expect from this writing.

I just want to say that Goodbye to Halos is a terrible webcomic that is not even nice to look at. It's painful to look at, in fact. If you like it, you probably have some webcomic-induced brain malfunction, like some sort of a reverse troll-mirror.

Goodbye to Halos is perfectly fine.

Isn't Goodbye to Halos the one where the main character lives with a man dating an underaged boy? Because that's not very fine.

I have a kind of alacrity in sinking.

Monster Pop is easy to follow with some nice character designs. It's everything else about the comic that's garbage.

The last panel of the Goodbye to Halos page actually hurts my eyes; the character details bleed into each other. Is it representative of the comic in general?

I think it is the coloring that makes me feel like that. I am not a fan of monster pop art in the slightest, it feels like I am reading a comic made for blobs. :moonrio:

I am not at all familiar with Goodbye to Halo but if I had to choose I'd take amateurishly incomprehensible over competently bland.

It is. GtH is one of the most badly composed comics I've ever seen. Many webcomics are bad, but Halos' art is so hosed that it's often difficult just to tell where a character's head is located.

It's going to be hilarious if that is female psychic dude and this whole plotline just ends with the revelation that he was trans the whole time and nothing else.

The thought does occur to me that, given Clevin's endless round blandness, "unwholesome" would still probably be an improvement all in all.
