They just farted around in Patrick's brain for 30 pages. We learned his tragic history that could be replaced with TV static and nothing worthwhile would be lost.

And the fact that they are out of his brain without working out what is behind the forbidden door means it will either have to go back for another scintillating experience or it will just be dropped and never mentioned again.

I'm most upset because this whole sequence is just shredding the basic science fictional rules trappings of the setting as it's been presented. Apparently in SFP world, psychic mindscapes were always a real thing, Patrick's just the first person to access them. How else do we explain this? That's a huge deal, not least because it implicitly endorsed any weird crackpot approach to the mind that believes in Astral travel or w/e.

Also Alison asking 'am I dead' is maybe the worst line of dialogue in a while, because it implies she believes in heaven but if she's religious it has never once come up in any philosophical context.

Theyre going to enter his dream
Its just him
In a white void
Sitting on a chair

They start to walk towards him
But he doesnt seem to get closer
As they approach it dawns on them
He is impossibly large
He spans the earth, the sky and its moons
He eclipses the sun


All is clevin now

So Alison's being chased through a rainbow tunnel, pursued by a female version of a guy she finds attractive and giant lady fingers. There's some kind of subtext there, but I can't place it.

Almost 30 pages of non-story with 1-4 panels of actual plot. This comic sucks.

This arc is the beginning of Alison realising she's been trapped in Hell all along, her suffering orchestrated by the Softest of Satans.

Like normally a chapter should end with a question answered, not leave you with even more unanswered questions. We came into this chapter asking "What is the Conspiracy?" and now are leaving with "Why was her teacher jumping around Patrick's mind?" "Who is Patrick's dog-killing mother?" "Why'd we have to go through multiple pages of young Patrick only to sum up the interesting part of his life into one page?" "Why does everyone have mindscapes?"

And to top it off, they didn't even answer the original question.

Now now, the chapter's not over yet. The last chapter was 145 pages, so we have at least 70 more pages of this to go! Fun fun fun.

It wasn't pointless. We got to see the utter loving hilarity that was Patrick's mum picking up a dog and then snapping it's neck like she the worst Saturday morning cartoon villain. That moment was so bad that I have shown it to everyone to laugh at.

But, yes, otherwise Alison went into Patrick's mind literally months ago and we have discovered absolutely zero about this "conspiracy" and Patrick is still as completely batshit as he was at the start. It's incredible how bad this chapter has been, but at least it has been entertainingly terrible.

There's this thing that comics--and it can happen with newspaper comics and comic books, or any kind of serial fiction, but is especially endemic to webcomics, which rarely have editors of any sort--can fall into, which is the Plotline on the Edge of Forever, and is basically that plot that seems to have no end or purpose but which the writer/creator(s) can't manage to wrap up or inject any sort of legitimate interest into. I want someone who's completely immune to telepathy to go all Scourge (as in the old Marvel villain/villain-killer who went around wiping out all the stupid third-string villains) on Lord Boy's rear end.

She was knocked out when Allison jumped into her mind.

This page just raises further questions, while actively acknowledging that the chapter has thus far been a complete waste of time.

I can go into other people's minds when I'm in Patrick's mind. Patrick doesn't understand this idea because he's really dumb and I'm super smart. This is well established.

e: Feral, the butch lesbian brawler that rips people to pieces with her bare hands, drinks cheap whiskey in honky tonk bars, has an inner mindscape that is anime furry bullshit. Such good, very twist

all wow
