#448 – Daemonic On Arrival
May 5th, 2013 |
Calgary Expo was a lot of fun. Thanks to the fans who came out to see us, and to any new eyes who may be reading this after taking a flyer.
Shout outs to friendly neighbours Vince Price, Outlaw Heart, and Something Like That, and the ever supportive Pixelated Toaster. Ash encouraged me to dip my toe into on-site commissions, and I hope to be doing more of that sort of thing in future.
I also spoke to The Aversion Bureau, Dork Boy Comics, and even had a bit of a chat with David Willis. And many more besides.
Good times, and will see you all at the next one.
why am i not suprised he ended up buying the cheap one again?
I have the same trouble with kettle x)
By the way: what font you use for the toaster?
And yeah, why half of the room with the TV is pale blue, and the second half is bright blue? (curtains are not considered.) Just a little strange interior (well, I think so).
Because my interior design sensibilities are crap. My mother’s living room is two-tone, brights and pastels. I think it’s matched on opposing walls though, and probably works a bit better than this.
Toaster font is Mouth Breather
No, in fact, very original. Just a little confused with different colors, a feeling that during the conversation they move from room to room x) My aunt is an architect, and even she has a strange designs sometimes ^ ^. So do not worry, I just clarified a couple of things. If something confuses me, that it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. BTW, thanks for the font. Again, beautifully conveys all the emotions. You’re obviously a crackjack))) Sorry, if wrote something incorrect agaaain =_=
Working at an appliance store must be stressful. If toasters get possessed that quick, there must be shelves and shelves of evil electronics. With that many all in one place, there must even be possessed washing machines and electric stoves. Now THOSE would be scary.
Sort of reminds me of the really angry air conditioner from Brave Little Toaster. “COWER MORTALS” *kaboom*
Well, he was a jerk anyway.
Or the one from Fallout: New Vegas’ Old World Blues expansion.
Virus explains that toasters are at particular risk of possession.
I remember that. The main thought was that if an appliance store has a lot of toasters, then the daemons might start migrating to other appliances that are nearby and somewhat more dangerous. Sears in this dimension must have a staff exorcist.
That, or they keep the possessed ones for high value to the machine god devotees. It saves them the trouble of making the summoning circle of iron, bolts, copper wire and sacrificial batteries.
Salesman – “I have shelves of them! Good deal! Freshly sinned for burning the innocent yeast! Two and you can have a hearty breakfast or five and you can start your crusade for the god of blue screens! CHEAP!”
Eastwood – “SOLD!”
I haven’t seen anybody mention it (doesn’t mean nobody has, I just haven’t seen it), so I will. The [in universe] reason why toasters are so easily possessed is the related to (or, as I’m going to guess, because of) the toaster-like shape of Fernex’s shoulders/upper arms, right?
I think he’s been buying from Akbar’s Discount Toaster Retail again.
Starting to think that EVERY toaster in the EN-verse inevitably gets hijacked by an obnoxious daemon.
Considering all that has been said about toasters, this is probably true.
Remember the Fernex-cultist’s Birthday party? The cutaway panel gag that showed a pig-cyborg receiving a whole bunch of toasters? Yeah, it’s probably true.
I was wondering when there would be another appearance of the daemonic toaster plus I think Eastwood set a new record in the toaster possession department with it not even out of the bag yet. One would think an inquisitor invests in some daemon-proof appliances but apparently it isn’t the case with Eastwood and his motley crew.
either harry is stupid or just plain cheap… my vote is on cheap.
I’d say it’s a little from column A and a little from column B.
Soooooo Eastwood doesn’t mind a daemon toaster, when Virus can’t stand it’s presence.
Likewise, Virus wants to keep Blasphemy while Eastwood wants to blow it away.
Anyone care to explain? ’cause I don’t get it.
they are could be tainted by the gods in a subtle way, cos we know that east uses tech in the most evil ways (gold bots, all the porn) and when virus fucked with the summoning circle he got a hound demon.
It’s not that East doesn’t MIND it. He minds. He just knows it’s demonstrably his fault this time and is trying to weasel out of blame by way of lies. Lies and chicanery.
Of course. ’cause it EAST XD
hanks, that makes sense.
Virus has the same color game boy as me. I’m happy.
What decade are we in where it’s a Game Boy? It is a 3DS XL.
But he was so close to the truth xD Nostalgia takes possession of the minds of people
For being such a tight fist, you’d think East would use some kinda Inquisition Credit Card for all the ‘utilities’ and ‘vital needs’ around the base.
Course it stands that Simmons never gave him that card to begin with. Cause he knows better.
I don’t see the problem having a possessed toaster is conversation starter for me. Not to mention a great idea for a birthday gift.
Why do have to use external links to get past this page? It doesn’t make sense.
What do you mean? If you’re having trouble accessing (parts of) the site, let us know the details, we’ll try to diagnose.
Oh 4 pete’s sake let Eastwood keep his pet. Just go out an 3uy one yourself.
So… did they blow up the rogue toaster in the second panel or did it just spontaneously explode?
I would put my money on it exploding courtesy of daemonic possession.
i wonder if theyve tried to get it to behave by using a shop grade bench grinder on it every time it misbehaves… if not… i could tell you what i did to my last toster… but u would need a truck, acetylene torch, and maybe some fireworks to blow it up
Is it too late to get a refund?
One of the most entertaining stories I ever heard was when a backwoods friend of mine found a toaster in the woods and created a toaster flail…
I wonder what damage you could do with a demonic toaster flail.
I so freaking dare that “YEAH TOAST” guy to play on that toaster.
Lol. Of course he baught the cheap one. My question is why does THEIR toaster get possessed all the time? Or do all cheap taosters get possessed.
I wonder if it is the same Demon who just keeps coming back to them?
