At first I was afraid, I was mortified, thinking goons could like a comic got me mystified. But then I spent an evening with this comic's archive, not to long, and I was wrong. This comic's storyline was strong! Ally came back, her sis erased, Pasqualo sitting there with that dumb grin upon his loving face, Then they met Trisssh, she's got snake tits, And Mr. Jones, the wood shop teach. They went and turned the school into a goddamned fortress beyond reach. And then they went, walked out the door, and then found Katie, who'd been kept inside a hole. Pas got the hots for some robotic chick he'd never seen, found out it was his mother, killed his boner on the scene. Oh yes, It Hurts!! It's loving good, in a way that some webcomic really never should. Aurora came and showed back up, that familys daughter's crazy pissed, It Hurts!!'s good. It Hurts!! is good! Hey, hey! This is the only webcomic that deserves both a thread and an I Will Survive parody.  Kermit, I wanna argue you on one point though I feel like the title of the comic comes from how Aurora felt watching Pasqualo see the apocalypse happen. She tells Trisssh that she saw the look on his face and instead of thinking "Go comfort him" thought "It hurts" and ran away. And then came back and is keeping his heart for safekeeping. Oh young love.

Yeah, a quick recap for lazy fucks who want to avoid webcomic art. Shouldn't be too off for the first verse and chorus but 10 minutes of work will mean probably a cockup or two.

Going by the prequel and the level of  coincidental foreshadowing, it seems like Gob has a pretty good idea of the story he wants to tell, which is more than can be said for most webcomics.

It really should get praise for finally having a positive depiction of Serpentine-Americans. Also, best Zombie King. Both of them.

Going along with what Kermit said, Trisssh sees Pasqualo as a god because he created this mess. She holds Aurora up as well because she helped Pasqualo do it. If Pas is the Jesus of this story, Aurora is certainly the Mary figure in Trisssh's mind, ignoring the fact that Aurora is probably outright God or another heavenly being. I don't really see outright devotion to Aurora on Trisssh's part but there is definitely reverence and possibly protectionism due to the sacred symbolism of the dry erase board's iconography.

Whatever abilities Aurora have pretty much been linked to the wants of other people. Almost like she's a genie in that she can do what other people want done but can't directly influence the world around her (without causing the apocalypse). All Pasqualo wanted was for her to sing, too bad the world couldn't handle it.

Chronojam posted:I dunno about that, P-Q completely discarded his broken heart on the ground after the snake bitch showdown and Aurora just showed up to revive it on her own account. Typing this out I wonder if it's symbolism. I think that the symbolism of it is huge but can we really say that she didn't show back up because Pasqualo wants to see her again? She obviously wants to be here and see Pas but I never said she couldn't have her own wants and needs. Pas means a lot to her and it feels like her coming back is an attempt to apologize for getting caught up in the moment and to be with the dude she loves. He is still tits out in love since he turned down Trisssh and has spoken about how he "still has a girlfriend." He obviously knows that he's gonna see her again, whether through blind faith in her or outright stupidity.

Chronojam posted:I think it's from Satan. When he grabbed Pasqualo, his hand seemed to revert. Then he shot him in the dilz, because what could go wrong? Pasqualo's hair didn't change color until after Katie kissed him.  That's also when his hand reverted back to it's usual color. It changed when Satan blocked his punch and stayed that way. The glowing lines, though, do sometimes appear like that in past comics.

I would love to see them come across some wastlanders( I think that's what the Mad Max cosplayers call themselves) who then freak out realizing that Pas and co aren't just in costume.

RainbowCake posted:This is the only good apocalypse comic that has ever existed and it was almost worth reading the GBS thread to discover it. Reading the GBS thread is basically an apocalypse scenario in and of itself. I keep finding myself comparing this comic to Shaun of the Dead in that it's one of the few pieces of media that just decides to run with the crazy and doesn't seem to lose touch with it's heart. The world may be a shithole but how can you be that upset when your posse consists of: Your newly crowned zombie king best friend, her zombie dog, a snake that worships you as the herald of the new age, her crazy pet child, a black handyman with the vision to build you a suitable pad, and possible God herself. And none of it feels out of place in the ruins of a world where your other best friend straight out punched a skull out of a dude's head.

It seems that it's clearly to get back at his wife for something. It seems like he could have easily made himself a cyborg if he wanted to but would rather have left a living reminder of his wife's failures around to keep her company forever.

Mordja posted:Actually, hey, there's a question for Gob! What's up with that kid's name, anyways? A quick google on the etymology of it brings up "pasquale" as the closest match, otherwise it's pure fiction. Ugh, gently caress, I'm gonna be that guy. So, I'm gonna go with the assumption that Pasqualo's family is either Italian or has a hard on for Italian nomenclature. Why, you ask? -ini is a somewhat common suffix giving to last names in Italy, specifically families from the Piedmont region. I'll get to that a little later, though. Pasquale is a perfectly acceptable Italian name. But for the sake of us dirty Americans, a lot of times in fiction characters of Italian decent are given names that end with "o" as that is one of, if not the most, common ending for a male name. Seriously, try to think of an Italian dude's name at random and see how many you can think of that don't end in "o" and that aren't Luigi. Running with this, Pasquale can easily become Pasqualo. But since I'm gonna be that guy, for those too lazy to use wikipedia, Pasquale comes from the noun Pasque and is used to mean "Born on Easter." A pretty fitting name for this dude who causes an apocalypse. His last name, though, is a bit simpler but also has a loose biblical connection. Triangolo is Italian for triangle and, as is usually done with people moving about, going from Triangolo to Trangolini to Trianglini would be a rather simple road for a name to take over countless decades and having to deal with naturalization during immigration proceedings. Like most surnames, it would denote something about that family; in this case the most appropriate translation would be "of the little triangle." Basically it's all a lot of  to say that his name has about as much meaning as the christian symbolism in Evangelion does.

I get it's not all obvious torture and the like but it's still Hell. The fact that this is literally the exact psychologucal buttons to push makes that slow realization that it won't get better by itself much more traumatizing. Tl;dr: This is the kind of hell I picture existing, not the fire and brimstone carnivals. What is wrong with me...
