Øyvind Thorsby writes webcomics. Also draws them. His comics are marked by logical action puzzles that just keep escalating, excelent writing with regular typos, evolutionary biology and a drawing style that will bleed out your eyes while growing on you, and general insanity of a batshit quality, which might qualify his works for outsider art, but don't take my word for it. He updates on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Transdimensional Brain Ship This one is about a guy who gets an experimental chip on his brain that lets him talk to versions of him from parallel dimensions. It has just started as of this writing, but seems more grounded on situational comedy rather than fantastic situations. We'll see how it goes.  Hitmen for Destiny is complete, so don't worry about getting invested and hitting a narrative wall. It is a modern fantasy comedy series about a pair of Hitmen (for Destiny), the destiny they are trying to protect and the biology of monsters. If the art repels you make sure you persist until Dr. Lostclock appears.  Lies, Sisters and Wives is a short story about the value of lying that would have made the Bard Himself proud. Also complete.  The Accidental Space Spy tells the story of a regular present day Earth guy who is mistaken for a space spy and goes on to meet weird aliens, with well-thought evolutionary reasoning on how their society evolved from their biology. It is finished as well! ZearothK fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Apr 2, 2014 |

Interesting about the names, I guess Rosendal shouldn't have been surprised her marriage with Fusk didn't work out. I felt kind of touched at how gleeful he looked when he dropped her to her death, followed by his sad expression after realizing what he'd done. And then Kubrick went into murder-mode and Fusk had more immediate concerns. I really have to agree on how good Thorsby is with facial expressions. Also, a new biology lesson in the Accidental Space Spy.

My bet is that it is a world of very insular communities and anti-social individuals, so they try to keep each other away with intimidating names. Or goth world, that works too.

I'm sure there is a logical reason for it. Maybe an ability to mutate under duress or something like that. Not-Plume probably just has tummy-ache from stress and alien food, since Dunkirk seems to be fine.

Well, it seems like the secret of not-Plume is getting out of the bag for everyone in this arc. Specially if the real Plume gets in touch with command. I bet we'll learn something important from this Wizard's duel.

Ben's tummy ache is most certainly stress at this point, or a reaction to alien food. Time for them to declare themselves mighty wizards.

I would like to pose the theory that the true reason that Twolesy development has occurred in this manner is to aid in the advancement of their silly hats and their value in the social hierarchy. Magic is merely a byproduct of this process.

I think this is the first time I've seen Thorsby miss an update. Maybe this is what the Mayan Calendar was talking about?

You might be on to something. He's clearly a clever and resourceful survivor, but his gently caress up in the start of the comic is what started all this mess. Maybe he's part of a conspiracy that wants to see Petrevolt destroyed.

What do you mean, Cardinal? I don't think money's been touched in this planet.BiggerJ posted:Massive chance for things to go hilariously wrong: their owner told them the states of his wives' careers, but assumed they knew what he wanted them to do. Does he want them to succeed, or to fail? Your guess is as good as theirs. We also have no idea of the concept of success that these people have. So there they go, trying to figure out a social puzzle without the background knowledge.

Sindai posted:Is it just me, or do the comics randomly only load halfway for anyone else? I was really confused by the discussion on the last couple of strips because everything under the first set of social media bookmark buttons wasn't showing for me the first time I looked at them. It was a bigger comic, there should be a warning on the top stating that you should click "previous" to see the full comic.

I think we're getting close to the final act, with these double-crosses coming up, Plume dead and Athena showing up. I suspect Dunkirk will turn out to be with Petrevolt, considering how resourceful he has shown himself to be so far and the fact that his mistake at the start of the comic is what allowed Not-Plume to come onboard.

H2Omelon posted:"Your elastic mother smells like dentist intercourse." Empty quote this. You know, I was kind of put off these last few strips, as I was finding it weird that they were doing all of these shenanigans without considering the obtuse social protocol used for everything in their society, but looks like things are picking up now!

Small wonder they have such a conservative and restrained society, can't be a coincidence that they can be so easily talked into sex.
