This is a good page in terms of structure but in context I'm really not loving the direction this is taking with Naive Teenage Robot Girl Who Is Too Forward (And Also Jealous).

It's much funnier if they're both Loup and he forgot he made her, but my faith is low at this point.

Even if Monday's comic explicitly confirms both that Lana is goosewife AND that Annie knew the whole time and was playing him like a fiddle, is the comic really even salvageable at this point?

Like, having those twists recontextualize this chapter wouldn't make how it was written any better.

No, no it wouldn't. We'd still have the assault and the pov with how it was effecting the male bystander.

The worst sin is still that a chapter with a shapeshifting god amalgamation deceiving the main character, the ultimate reveal of one of the comics closest secrets, a main character climbing ever closer to ascending to godhood and another character in clear peril regardless of the cause was...

well, it was incredibly loving boring! How do you take all those ingredients and end up with a chapter where it feels like nothing loving happened. Its most impressive

It's kind of like recording an incredibly exciting moment on your phone, but then when you play it back you realize you had the selfie camera on and pointed up your nostril the entire time.

Can't wait for the chapter title to drop on Friday, "Annie Was Lying Actually" and it's just the whole chapter played back from Annie's perspective instead with her going "haha loup has no idea I'm deceiving him"

I wouldn't use "boring" to describe the early pages of the chapter!

I love that this end page did a better job of delivering the message "robo people are being released unprepared for the real world, and are receiving actively bad guidance from those they listen to" better than the chapter itself did

I do like playing Elden Ring, but to be honest, it's not particularly beautiful by today's outrageous standards. Annie needs to play Forbidden West instead.

I actually have wondered if Lana is going to be revealed as Boxbot. It'd be funny, but I figured before Tom stopped referencing Boxbot because he was sick of people repeating the same joke at him and would prefer people forget about them.

Hasn't he mentioned that Boxbot is some sort of manifestation of his own self-loathing/aspects of himself that he doesn't like? I think he mentioned suicidal ideation some years ago, presumably he's handling his depression better now. So we don't see Boxbot anymore.

Agreed, you can say the graphics aren't as hyper-detailed as some games, but the visual design in Elden Ring is top notch.

I don't know, it feels a bit extreme to map Boxbot to suicidal self-loathing and that's why it doesn't show up. Like wouldn't that conversely mean Robox should show up more? They're gag characters first and foremost, and even if Tom isn't tired of them the simpler explanation would be that the comic hasn't had as many jokey asides like that in recent years.

All fictional characters are manifestations of some part of their author. I think that we should avoid psychoanalyzing in this thread.

Annie was the manifestation of Tom's desire for a charbroiled hamburger (made with fire, see the connection?) and the split of the two Annies was his desire for a double cheeseburger. Kat is his desire for chocolate (Kit Kats). Similarly with Ysengrin (a Shirley Temple, made with grenadine. YsenGRIN = Grin = Grenadine), Renard (also his desire for grenadine. Reynardine = Grenadine), and Coyote (Coyote).
