Suzy and Johnny are both amazing. They should grow up to make a kid together. Their offspring would be the Kwisatz Haderach of hilarious obnoxiousness.

Space-Bird posted:Redoing pages can be pretty darn toxic to a webcomic creator. Not just pages and webcomic creators. Whenever you spend your time using your improving skills to redo the same tiny part of a creative work, without ever creating the rest, then eventually you'll look back on it and tell yourself that you've spent fifteen years of your life working on something which is like 5% complete. On the other hand, some poet once said: "Hasten slowly, and without losing heart, twenty times over put your work back on the loom, ceaselessly polish and polish it again, add to it sometimes, and often delete." So YMMV I guess.

JingleJunction posted:Everyone in this thread is talking about Johnny getting a tool, but when was it mentioned that he's a spectral and/or could see ghosts and spirits? Did I miss something? Just recently, he has seen some freaky sights, yo. (Though Zack edited the flashback panel to remove the sphinx from it.) Having been knocked out and half-conscious by the shock might count as a NDE. Or maybe there's a lot of citrus in his hair gel. Anyway, he's not spectral yet, but he might very well become one eventually. "Prolonged exposure to supernatural phenomena" is something he'll get if he keeps on bullying Max.

Yonic Symbolism posted:Where is everyone, there is a shocking new development to discuss. Using two tools is supposed to bring them into conflict, could that happen or be happening to max? But what would be the second tool? I took the two arrows of the speech bubble to be an indication that it's speaking with Max's mouth but with another voice. (Or maybe he's speaking in stereo with the bat. At the moment, Ockham's money is on the possession being by the bat's timesnake spirit.)

scarycave posted:I know but the implications that Issac was pregnant is still there. That final loss panel can be used for any situation in which one character is in the hospital and another is just futilely standing there, unable to find any sort of way to bring comfort to their friend. It has been used in edits in which miscarriage wasn't the cause.

Try to paint a face on yourself when you don't have eyes to see what you're doing! Now Isabel in the last panel, that's something alright. I mean, I don't know thing it is; but it most certainly is that thing.

horriblePencilist posted:So Spender is a Green Lantern? He's a yellow spectral, so he doesn't want more spirits bonding with him. Inversely, Isabel's grandpa must be a red spectral like Isabel herself, and he doesn't want the plunger because since it's not a red spirit, he couldn't use it. It'd just be a dumb old plunger into his hands.

Grandpa, Ed, and Isabel? Otherwise, a monkey plush, an 8-ball, some toy soldiers (or action figures or whatever) and a generic console (the shape reminds me a bit of the Nintendo 64; but it's not an exact match).

Spender sports a yellow tie, therefore people's energy color are identified by their tie rather than by the level they hang around in. Speaking of which, the mustached man to the left of the panel, with the pink tie, looks familiar.

If you wish, you can use NoScript to block thehiveworks.com until this blows over; though according to the Hiveworks guy the hack wasn't actually dangerous, it was merely designed to flag Google's filters without really downloading anything.

Someone should take the two middle panels, erase the spectral energy aura and redraw the missing bits of background and characters so we get Muggle-vision of the scene, and animate them back and forth.
