This comic is so tightly knit together that I can hardly believe it sometimes.

I'm waiting for him to stand up and reveal that the upper portion of his body is just some kind of puppet concealing a monster underneath.

Every last one of his features screams "These are normal, endearing human features. I am a human with normal endearing features."

Maybe he is Pasqualo's dad. It's still possible. This top hat can't be a coincidence.

Yeah, I think Trisssh secured the kill there - he's bleeding and the colours are draining from him, while she's just getting more into her freaky, intimidating game-face. Visual language sure seems to say one of them has the upper hand here.

Which is precisely why we are concerned about the ambiguous ending panel.

Does anyone notice that squiggly mark on the side/back of the principal's neck that is partially obscured? It looks kind of like Pasq's cyborg circuits...

e: and on second glance the principal appears to have a slight green aura around him and his hat...

Which panel is that? There's something written on the back of his right leg, too, but I can't read it.

First and second pages, last panel.

e: the second word appears to be "this". Can anyone else make it out?

Also here, in the third panel: http://gobolatula.com/ithurts/?comic=290-hearts

Something bad is about to happen. Gob never quite shows us the back of his head...He's going to rotate it, I bet.

Also...the "froggie" that he is referencing in the second to last panel would be a throwback to the one he mentioned previously...

You know something? I hope they riff The Red Balloon. I don't know what it was, but that was like required viewing for kids growing up in the late 80s early 90s.

Don't worry, your post is actually not entirely irrelevant in the context of the latest comic.

I like to think that Aurora's having a personal existential crisis on the level of "Can I make a rock so heavy that I can't lift it?" She doesn't want to admit she can make the stankiest farts in all of existence.

Also that skyline is totally Philly, so Pasq's "This place is awful and we shouldn't be here" is quite appropriate and correct.

Thank you! Yeah I didn't mean to make such a big deal about my biological dad's stuff but I guess I needed to just tweet the heck out of my stress.

I'm sure he'll be fine. He's been dealing with addiction for most of his life and he has his ups and downs. My wish is for him to keep it together for good for the sake of himself and his family.

Anyway enough about that! Here's a message from me to my wonderful fans:

Did he just forget "big me" ever existed? Or was "big me" never really there?

I guess Big Me was retroactively wiped from existence like....Pee...er...people who walk away from Hell might be, theoretically.

Gob thanks for making this dumb gay comic.

I truly mean it. It's a really weird sensation when fictional characters have the same feelings I think I've had forever.

Pasq pretty clearly suffers from mental illness on top of being an insecure kid, so if it's him you're identifying with, counseling might be a helpful option in your life.

No worries, she probably thinks all the customers are pieces of poo poo regardless. :v:

It's still impressive how this comic hasn't choked to death on its own ambition yet, every few months it comes out with a giant "FORGET EVERYTHING YOU EVER THOUGHT YOU KNEW ABOUT IT HURTS" story update and every time it feels interesting and earned.

I get the impression that the majority of this comic was plotted out prior to Gob even starting it. I can't see how else anyone would be able to construct something so coherent yet wild on the fly.
