Actually he kills his mother. No joke there.

e: You know it's going to be this because the comic always justifies something incredibly lovely by the most pandering of devices, in this case breaking a dog's neck for snagging your panty hose.

You know, this reminds me of the last season of BoJack Horseman, where they show his mother's memories, and everything is absurdly sexist and racist. Only it makes sense in a show with a talking horse full of broad characters.

That's one way to establish a villain. Literally have them kill the adorable dog. Next she will beat him or something and then probably set fire to his toys or something like that. So I think that Patrick is about to become Clevin 2.1. It has finally begun. All will be made soft.

Are comments always closed for every single page, or are they just doing that because of this recent development?

You're thinking of Other Patrick, the rich libertarian shitbird with magical fairy dust that made Feral super regenerator and they have to get hearts out of her with a shovel now.

I think they close them down after a certain point. But yeah, any time there's a major disagreement in the comments it immediately goes under lock down. Right now there's only one comment saying that dog murder seems a bit over the top and it's done.

This comic just kind of gleefully leapt into the absurd here. Like it's one thing that we've just been witness to the worst childhood possible, but his mother just picking up and killing his dog in front of him for no reason loops completely back around to hilarious. It's like something you'd see in a cartoon - a parody of soppy melodramas about people with the most miserable lives possible. Except, presumably, the authors are playing this completely straight. Also it's real hard to snap a dog's neck with your bare hands. Especially if you're just holding it off the ground like that.

Let's not forget that inexplicable bug where uploading a new page somehow clears the comments section of a previous page. They've run into that one a few times now.

Says some pretty fuckin' uncomfortable things about the author that they shy away from any interesting human consequences, but a faceless minor character just snaps the deuteragonist's dog's neck over nothing, while showing its fear.

Fear? That's mild concern at best.

They did just do a thing about how memory can be subjective so maybe all this over-the-topness is subject to that?

Nothing about the Mother’s dialogue other than the scary voice bubble indicated this. This whole thing really came out of nowhere.

That said, as straightforward as the comic lately has been I don’t think they would be as clever as to introduce unreliability.

EDIT: I hate this comic and I hate this thread. Why am I reading this again and more importantly, why am I posting here? :(

*Sigh* guess I'll do it.

There's a character who's half woman and half snake. A Lamia, if you're familiar with Dungeon&Dragons races. She was kept as a slave by a bad guy, who fitted her with a magical leash and collar that magically compels her to follow the orders of whoever is holding the leash.

The bad guy used this to rape her all day every day. It's not even implied, he outright states this.




I blame the bad webcomics thread for knowing all this. Curse you, bad webcomics thread! :argh:
