Now there's convenient timing, I only discovered this comic at the weekend and now there's a shiny new dedicated thread! I've really enjoyed the comic to date. Alison is an interesting character with which to explore the difference between being heroic and superheroic. Patrick's line about how you can't fling poverty into the sea sums it up nicely, I feel. Feral's sacrifice was a visceral illustration of the being both heroic and superheroic which was as uncomfortable for the reader as it was for Alison. That there's some excellent writing.

Now, now, let's not be judgmental. Maybe she really did trip and hit her eye on a doorknob, and her husband's just grumpy because he's had a rough day at work.

nimby posted:Why not just fill the room with lethal gas, if you're going to shoot anyway? Bullets are more controllable than gas. Unless the combat area is guaranteed airtight and will remain so there's a chance some of your lethal gas can be caught on the wind and end up drifting through the local home for orphans and sick puppies. With bullets there's a chance you'll miss and hit whatever's behind the target, but hopefully the person holding the gun is aware of that and will make sure they take a shot where a miss will do something harmless like hit a wall.

Heck of an awakening for a new AI. "Welcome to the world, here's a sock to the jaw to see if you can be provoked to violence!"

That's what I get for skimming through my daily webcomics while I'm still waking up.

So is this 'To Serve Man' (altruistic), or 'To Serve Man' (ironic)? It's a cookbook!

Over twelve million views and about 75% dislikes. This is gonna be a PR nightmare.

Well that's one way to check the room for invisible murderers. Nice bit of improvisation there, Alison.

Mary's been exposed and is looking to escape so she's counting on surprise to get her past Alison and away. If Alison hadn't been so on the ball with the plaster dust I imagine Mary would've just waited for an opportunity to quietly slip out. Plus, Mary's a lot more battle hardened than when she and Alison last met, so it's possible that Alison's first instinctive counter would take into account the squishy Mary she knows, rather than the more ruthless woman she's dealing with.

I think Alison suspects Moonshadow (her mental list of 'invisibles I know' is probably quite short) but she's not ready to point fingers yet. She's poking holes in the TK theory because the holes are large and obvious and need to be pointed out.

I think Patrick's been deliberately pushing Alison away because he is falling in love with her and doesn't know how to deal with it. Maybe he's afraid that he's been manipulating her into being attracted to him without meaning to, maybe he's just afraid of intimacy in general, maybe it's something else we don't know about yet. Hence the supervillain monologue, delberately goading Alison into hating him to keep her at a distance. I'm don't think it's because he thinks Alison is an idiot, more that he's acting out of desperation because if he doesn't push her away right now then he won't be able to resist his own reciprocal feelings. Or maybe I'm just being a daft ole shipping goon who should get back to the Homestuck thread.

Welp, looks like Patrick got what he wanted. Alison's thing for him is definitely over.
