I've been assuming his plan this whole time was "make sure Lyndon lives as long as possible, and then right before he dies, tell him any relevant information you learned this time so your original counterpart can torture it out of him."




If you have two divergent histories though, the only information that would be relevant would be information prior to the split. Knowing that something happens 100 years later doesn't give you a roadmap to it because there are countless other possible/actual branchings in between the divergence and the possible future you're trying to engineer.

Hey so I clicked on this thread out of curiosity, went and started Lies Sisters And Wives assuming this was a hate-thread, but then absolutely fell in love with everything about this dude's work (I've now finished Lies and read Hitmen through the end of the living portals fiasco). It's the perfect marriage of dubious writing quality, actually genius writing, and way too much dialogue. It's literally mspa but better.

I know this isn't strictly relevant to the Trixie thread, but I just wanted to pop in to say thanks for introducing me to this wonderfully bizarre creator. Once I'm done binging all his stuff, I look forward to following Trixie with y'all.

Thorsby's a hard sell on paper, but he's great and utterly unique. Depending on who you ask, he got better with time too.

He has no reddit thread that Mr. Dick is aware of. So his popularity can be assumed to be limited to goons.

how the hell do the guards not know Audrey

there's no way this is her first time storming the gates shouting stupid poo poo

Mr. Dick imagines Audrey would be a very hands-off kind of minister of foreign affairs.

Dumb luck is going to knock the scepter out of the ambassador's hand. That or he's going to be so focused on Audrey/Lyndon queries that he overlooks Trixie stabbing him with that scimitar she just picked up.

There was an extra layer of bizarreness to Hitmen which I don't think he's ever really repeated. I think part of it is because the art feels more standardized now.

I agree with you about this being the second best Thorsby comic. The characters seem a lot weaker in his other comics.

Just imagine there's a forty page arc about someone pretending to be one person to one group of people and pretending to be another person for a different group of people and that the joke gets old after the 4th page.

I hope there are no mean political cartoons about Zoozo in this universe.

It's not really a bummer, it's a message to the audience. One potential future is what happens when society goes the barbarism route, the other when it goes the socialism route. It's your choice which ending you get, it's you who touches the scepter.

Trixie was only 'fairly popular'. It seems Zoozoo Zlem is a hard act to follow!

Integrating headlings into society is one thing. Adopting them is a little too progressive.

DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:

I think Thorsby has steadily been getting better. Hitmen is about level with Space Spy for me, with Brain Chip being a bit below them, but I think that's less because of a lack of skill and more because he tackled a really, really high-concept setting and didn't quite stick the landing in parts. But the quality of his art has been improving over time, and the sophistication (not the same thing as complexity!) of his plots and characterization has improved too. I'm really excited to see what he does next.

Brain chip lacked a bestiary.
