Part of this is because the radio broadcast has been occurring over literal months. But I have no idea what Donkey Kong is preaching anymore, all I know is that I think he's wrong.

The one update a week + general slow pace of the comic is going to drag this chapter out for years. Not that I'm against it, Zack clearly was hurting themselves trying to do 2-3 a week for years and it'll be a good read after a few weeks to let itself flesh out but yeah right now I have no idea why we're getting this.

I’m guessing there’s an actual conspiracy in town that conspiracy kid will discover and this is the introductory/world building phase of his arc.

In a surprise twist, the entire comic was a setup to bringing Broodhollow into scene.

The real twist is that Kris Straub isn't redrawing the start of Broodhollow again, he's making Zack do it.

Likely. And as interesting as this all is I haft wonder if conspiracy kid needs an arc. We have so many existing plot threads, and a huge cast already. But oh well, this is not a new complaint.

And I am still not sure if the Prof here is an actual Bigfoot, or a guy in a costume, or just a represenation of his radio name

I mean I feel like conspiracy kid's arc is him getting vampired. He definitely seems to have the interest of Red who is probably a vampire.

So not a new tangle just furthering the existing Jhonny gang gets involved arc. Which is probably a good move to simplify things honestly.

The Jhonny gang becoming a parallel "kids with powers" group to the Activity Club would be a pretty good twist.

I think it’s showing the hosts as they really are, instead of the branding.

Mothman is unshaven, disheveled, and his “antenna” are broken. The reveal here is that Bigfoot is...actually a Bigfoot. He’s very likely a Medium with some kind of Sasquatch spirit (remember that Mediums slowly take on their spirit’s appearance). Bigfoot can’t be a spirit, since Stephen has been shown to NOT be a Spectral, and therefore would be incapable of hearing him. Also it means the radio show would have been one Mothman talking to himself for most of the airtime.

he never emotes and his mouth never moves in a comic where everyone is a rubber-faced goofball 100% of the time, so I'm guessing mask

He also speaks in a printed font instead of drawn letters, so I'm guessing robot that looks like a bigfoot.

I love that video but apparently the guy who made it hates it now. Both because the memes have overtaken all the actual work and content, and because he made it when he was in a really dark place, so people telling him to make more don't really understand what they're asking for. He's all but abandoned his main channel just to get away from people.

Talk shit, get bzzzt.

Y'know, Zach gets like 1800/month, I wonder if they've considered hiring an artist to finish their sketches or just completely go from their scripts. Nobody wants them to hurt themself, and by the sound of things they maybe shouldn't even be doing 1 a week.

He's all but abandoned his main channel just to get away from people.

My understanding from reading his faq about it is that while he doesn't like the memes, they don't really have any effect on his decision not to make more. Mostly it comes from a place of "I basically ruined my life for a month to make that video, and if I'm going to put effort into a video I'm not willing to make an inferior product to my last one, so the next one will ruin my life even worse." the videos he makes on his alternate channel are essentially the bare minimum effort he can possibly put in: they're there to archive the processes and tricks that he performs, not entertain viewers like his main channel videos. His mindset now is basically "I do not care if people enjoy my videos, because as soon as I start caring again I go right back into the mindset that ruined me when I made that last video."

It's sad, but making videos for entertainment just doesn't sound like something he ever really enjoyed at all, so I'm glad that he's making a healthy choice for himself.
