It would be pretty bad storytelling to be in a simulation at this point, you'd have to leave out some pretty critical things happening offscreen. I think that Thorsby knows better, especially after what is possibly the best payoff for a seemingly unbeatable antagonist I've ever seen.

At this point the entire Skyggmerian strike team is pretty much done for, and the simulated universes didn't show that Barbara or anyone else was going to get him if this plan fails.

There's nobody left at this point other than a confused Jouster that can't get it's lower half to do what it wants and a very sticky and angry vice-president, and we all know how things usually go for vice-presidents.

Thorsby has no qualms ending things in a few strips after the climax. Space Spy ended like 2 strips after averting nuclear war and convincing Dunkirk that it'd be too much of a pain in the rear end to bring them back to the ship.

I don't really get how people think Brain Chip isn't a happy ending. The creation of a god who exists solely to make humanity more successful and happy at the expense of... what exactly? The humanity of a single person, the personal fulfillment of another, and our ability to elect people to start wars, commit genocide and destroy the planet for us?

Not exactly a tragedy in my books.

Creating a functioning biosphere is probably the most difficult thing that we could ever theoretically accomplish in real life. It wouldn't destroy suspension of disbelief for it to already be happening in the end of the comic, but it's a good choice to show the idea that god hasn't quite finished her work in the universe by the end of the comic and that there are still things to be done and problems in the world that she can't just fix immediately and permanently with the snap of her fingers.

If the sceptre had the processing power to keep universes running forever then it wouldn't have to stop simulating an area of 5 light years around itself.

I mean the names are just the product of a D&D/fantasy world that progressed far enough socially to form nations and democracies and poo poo. Surnames don't just go away, even if they're "Genocide" or "Slaughteraxe". Chances are Trixie is just descendant from some dude who did a lot of slaughtering. With an axe.

Anyways even Barbara gets a happy ending! I can't loving believe this comic.

I love it so much.

I think you guys might be forgetting that Klara has the same expression on her face no matter what she's doing or how she's feeling (except for the last panel when she's posing for a portrait).

Yeah, didnt Klara have a big moment about how she struggles to outwardly express emotion?

I don't think so, I think everyone just knows she's like that and doesn't mind it that much.

I mean it's probably easier to read a human who doesn't emote than most of the other races they coexist with fairly happily.

Thorsby was right. We've got that coronavirus running around and no universal healthcare to keep it in check.

Malachite fever is what I think of when I see one of those articles about how like 90% of Americans go to work sick and like half never go to the doctor because they can't afford it, with literally no mention of how none of these people have any choice in the matter.
