Sam and Fuzzy points out the inherent issue in any organization or partnership where Mind Control is a possibility.

That's the loving problem, indeed.

There's no mind control involved, though.

I think I've forgotten a plot point somewhere; why is Sam so reluctant to tell Fuzzy why he's freaked out now about Brain?

He's gotten into the habit of keeping secrets from everyone, and he's gotten out of the habit of trusting (or liking) Fuzzy.

Also, I think, Sam's not at all confident that Brain actually is Fridge (as opposed to just doing a good impression to spook Sam), & so doesn't want to say anything on the subject until he has more solid information.

Demon is basically a big rip-off of a 10-year-old Sam & Fuzzy plotline, in a certain sense.

That does raise a bit of a question--if a demon possesses someone, and leaves non-lethally,do they just kind of pop back into control of their body?

There was some implication that demons could end up duplicating themselves, iirc - this would presumably be how.

i personally feel the author does a pretty good job of differentiating the characters? there's a lot of face/body diversity

other than every single person in surviving civilization being white as gently caress anyway :v:

like, for example:



q: how often have I confused these two characters?

a: basically every time they show up

I actually had to read through the relevant page several times before I realized there were two different characters there...

The freckled one.

They really don't look that much alike, but the gender confusion isn't helped by the fact that the male's a scrawny-rear end shepard with a four-foot long braid and the female's a dour military officer.

oh, huh. honestly thought that character was a guy. the driver's brother (the scout) also threw me off for a while in the other direction.

it also probably doesn't help that everyone's covered in a minimum of three layers of all clothes at all times, owing to their presence in a subarctic hellscape.

Killing your daughter is basically the same as feeding the poor, checks out.

his daughter, like jimmy himself, was a monster who'd killed thousands of people, and who eagerly looked forward to killing more. (that's what she's complaining about not getting to do.) preventing her from doing so isn't the same as feeding the poor; it's better.

The joke was definitely on the reader. The way the ending very specifically fails to resolve the story's main mystery is hilarious.

"can demons escape their bodies by behaving like decent people for once in their god drat lives?" wasn't the story's main mystery. Demon started out being a standard Shiga thing about taking some strange conceit and exploring to its limit ("what if you could switch bodies by killing yourself?), and then halfway through switched over to Jimmy & Sweetpea Are A Pair Of Insane Monsters, Check Out All This hosed-Up poo poo! Did Jimmy just pull his most hosed-up stunt yet by accidentally killing every person on Earth? Who knows! But it's funny to imagine, eh?

I mean, I certainly don't feel like I've been the butt of a joke. Demon wasn't the comic I signed up to read, but it's funny as hell, in its very weird way. I got no regrets.

caught up on two+ years of girl genius after all this chat about it. it's always much easier to enjoy the comic & ignore its flaws when you're not reading serially - i hadn't been too excited about the beginning of the train arc when i stopped reading last, but it read fine going through it all at once.

i really do love all the absurd plotting - everyone has at least one secret agenda! - and the ridiculous contraptions that people treat as 'ordinary'. the baron's forces are the closest to 'practical' that anything comes in the comic, but he's still got giant walking fists commanded by 'punch-captains'. when it's not trying too hard to make Science! jokes, it's quite funny.

anyway, now it's time to wait another two years before catching up again...
