I get the feeling he's chasing them around, trying to get them to stop.

He's probably not, but hey, it's more hilarious than the alternative. Just add Benny Hill music and sit back.

Hell, screw just Troll anatomy. With all the time that has passed.. where/when in the blue hell is everyone finding the time to poop?

Then again, a common problem of comics in general. Nobody ever goes poop.

I actually wrote up a real dumb theory about the characters' superhuman endurance, a while back. Specifically the post was talking about Karkat's weeks-long sleeplessness, but I'll confess that earlier drafts touched on the idea of a 'bladder meter', which would cover your concerns nicely.

Hey, we're talking alpha/beta builds of Sburb/Sgrub here! I'm betting pooping just hasn't been implemented yet, we probably have to wait for it to be added in a patch.

Unlike the Homestuck and Problem Sleuth books which lose a certain something in their transition to print, I think I can safely say that this book is the definitive way to experience Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.

Also my commemorative coin says I'm a winner. :3:

Maybe it's like SS13 where there was a poop command for a while but it got too gross because getting shti everywhere so people couldn't stop slipping on it was a legitimate strategy so the devs removed it.

Despite the fact that I ordered standard shipping, my SBaHJ book has arrived. The front is not shiny, except for one part shaped like a coffee stain and another part next to that one that says "woopps". The heads side of my commemorative coin has Hella Jeff looking back in a car, while the other side has the words "GATEWAY・TO・SUCCESS" bordering around the word ATTITUDE in stylized lettering. The first page displays the following. (Is there a way to center this?)

quote:

ISBN - haha what

The author's notes are in red and all lowercase, though devoid of spelling errors. Here's one.

quote:

the big man plays

sometimes this is known
as shooting hoops. he is

the end.

The pocket edition a laminated piece of paper with every SBaHJ comic printed on it. The paper is normally sized, so the comics are tiny. On the back of the book, the scratch and sniff sticker is weird. It smells really strongly of something. Something spicy, maybe? It's got a certain je ne sais quoi. The tony hawk sticker is shiny. If you hold the back of the book up to the light, you see that it's got some extra things7 indented outward slightly. These things are the words "pRINTED on CANADA", an eagle with the words "state BIURD" under it, some words under the picture of cheese (which is misaligned with the shine it's supposed to have) which say "NEVER FOARGET", and a weed leaf. I'll get some pictures up later.

Also, the book has a poo poo ton of guest art by KC Green.

Come on, did neither of you grow up in the 90's? It is definitely the terrible "pizza" scratch and sniff scent. And treasure that nasty stonk, it'll be gone in like a day and no one makes that poo poo anymore.

Also, got the same coin as ariong, and it is hilariously cheap and lovely.

The weird thing about the sticker is that you only need to scratch it once, and then it constantly radiates that scent. I think they made it more potent somehow. The coin is kind of like the play money you would get in a board game.

Did you fat nasty trashes get 2 stickers slapped onto the back of yours as well? Because I did, and the one I didn't scratch smells just as potently as the one I did. These are gently caress you n' sniff stickers.

Watch out. Mine didn't arrive in a box or anything, Andrew Hussie just jump out of some bushes and threw it at my head while I was checking the mail. It was in bubble wrap so it didn't get damaged, but it was a shocker.

What part of the book is that? The few pages that are numbered are numbered on a per-comic basis, so just tell me roughly what section of the book it is.

Aww, no. :( I just have the one on the dorito, where is the second one?

My favorite part has got to be the WORG SHIRT WORG SEARCH WORD SE. The more I look at it more hilarious details I find. I especially love the line that is mostly x's for some reason. :allears:

Hell, you can see it pretty easily in the pocket edition, it's a little less than halfway through the book.

The scratch and sniff sticker is a Dorito. I have one just below and to the right of the cheese and one above the right pair of roller skates.

For five more dollars you could have at least gotten the Hussie-version. Nowhere near as cool, but you'd still be holding a book that Hussie himself had touched.

Sorry about your loss.
