It's a hell beast an angel of God. It punishes sinners, and tubsy was a murderer

I've seriously wondered if there will be a twist with this guy along those lines, given how he's repeatedly referred to Allison and co. as bad people. The audience's perspective has just been skewed because we'd been following along (with a group of people and monstrous creatures that were responsible for the apocalypse).

He's the boss of the Disney Vault, it's a heavy task that would weigh even the strongest soul down, he welcomes death when it comes.

On the other hand, his daughter loved The Lion King so much, he knew she would one day murder him to take his job. And he was OK with that.

On the fence, are we? How about you take a seat right there and we Meet the Main Cast!
Now, maybe you missed the hint up there about something happening at a certain part of the proceedings. Maybe Allison gets a new hairstyle, I don't know. So, for this post, anything that happens after strip #100 will be spoiler-tagged, in case you're the kind of rear end in a top hat who didn't gosh darn drop everything and read the archives this second, SHEESH.




Aurora is a kind and pretty girl who shows up from nowhere and starts attending Pasqualo's school. She and Pasqualo fall in love immediately, although he neglected to learn anything about her after their first meeting, including her name. She has an almost supernatural level of patience and understanding, and is just gosh-darn the best. Together, she and Pasqualo are totally going to kick-rear end at the annual talent show!

She's actually an angelic being, possibly God Herself. When she begins singing at the talent show it triggers an apocolypse that unleashes monsters upon the world. The name of the comic is from when she saw the look on his face [from witnessing the apocolypse] and instead of thinking "Go comfort him" thought "It hurts" and ran away. And then came back and is keeping his heart for safekeeping. Literally.


OP please go back to this post on the first page and clarify she kept the heart for safekeeping inside a man's dick, thanks in advance.

Family Guy first aired in 1999, and Missionary: Impossible was in 2000. Weird to think Family Guy's been around that long - I figured it was 2003-2004.

Well, remember Family Guy originally got canceled after the third season and was off the air for several years before it garnered enough of a cult following to bring it back.

In retrospect... I think I would have been fine if it had stayed dead.

Did Aurora auto-transform as soon as pasqualo was hit by the brick? Or did she go into wish-granting mode because Pasq is starting to say extra stupid stuff that will in no way end terribly for everyone.

That is an interesting detail to catch. She still kept her farmer hat, too.

Maybe she was just protecting Pasqualo's arms because that dude loving leaned right into all the broken shards of glass in the windowsill.

Maybe the chapter will culminate in Pasq punching God in the face. Worked out for him pretty well last time he did it.

One of the best features about viewing these comics on Gob's website is that he tags every character's name in it, so you can filter strips just to see who appears where (for instance: the chick pantsing Pasq is named Jessica, and this isn't her first appearance).

Our kawaii arachnid is named Magma Spider, and this is indeed her first strip.
