#468 – Misnomer
November 17th, 2013 |
This concludes part 2 of 2.
Unlikely to be a proper comic next weekend, unfortunately. I’m out of town for Lethbridge Expo . I might have made an attempt to get it done early, but the scheduled script is a bit complex; I’m going to have to get on openCanvas with Silv for some design work as it is.
I will try and update with something regardless.
Eh, whatever XD Love Eastwood’s expression in panel 6
So was Lothar raised in a tube or just had a landmine accident?
Both. He’s a genetically modified clone from a defunct supersoldier project. That part is, as far as anyone knows, true. But he originally told the guys that he gained the bionics after being re-captured and experimented on in Wolverine fashion. That part was a lie to avoid admitting he walked into a minefield like a dumbass.
is there any other way to walk into a minefield?
Like a man.
But that involves either being explosion proof, having a way to clear mines, or knowing a way to keep from setting mines off.
Nobly sacrificing yourself to clear a path through the minefield for your compatriots.
wearing MASSIVE amounts of body armor, not necessarily saying Juggernaut (mostly because I DESPISE CoD), but a lot, like the EOD guys in the military
or to walk on a treadmill that is strapped to the inside of one those mine clearing trucks.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat, would have you walk into the minefield in that game very slowly, paying attention to the state of the ground so that you don’t set the mines off, then demonstrates why you didn’t do so once you get your objective inside said minefield.
TL;DR, very slowly and with great care, for good reason.
It’s all fun and games until the paperwork has to be filled out and filed properly.
Why East is wearing underpants is beyond me. Rarely bothers with trousers.
Still, I can respect that decision.
It’s also vaguely amusing that despite having a massive spawling underground high-tech complex under the house, they’re doing the paperwork in the very-ordinary (if spacious) kitchen. Wonder what’s on the cork-board?
You know how Lothar has a Firefly Viewing Hat? Those are East’s Jaffa Cake Underpants.
how long has it been since we’ve last seen that hat anyways?
well damn. I thought he just walked around in a pair of pants that looks like he walking around half naked in a misguided effort to get girls.
Is that first panel a reference to Black Books and Bernard trying to do his taxes?
It was on our minds, yeah.
So when they die, they’ll end up being Lothy and Roggy?
That’s a very clean kitchen for four bachelors, a daemon pet and daemon appliances.
I wonder if later questions include: If Johnny has 3 apples, and Davey has 2 apples, why don’t they just shut up and eat? Where the answer involves Cincinnatti
“If Johnny has 3 apples, and Davey has two apples, and you cut the apples into fourths, what is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything?”

OH GOD, I never wanted to see Eastwood in underwear.
People have probably talked about this before, but now we know that Eastwood and his open trenchcoat have been flashing us all these years.
So wait, Eastwood wears nothing under his trenchcoat for years and no one bats an eye, but he puts on a pair of undies and everyone loses their minds!? WHAT!?
Sometimes the clothes suggest more than the lack thereof.
Maybe they find his back obscene.
To use the expression correctly, this is the “the exception that proves the rule”.
The exception is “Eastwood wears unders to cover his junk” for once, therfore the rule must be that Eastwood has been something something something his wood in our faces.
Or he has more fur to wear over his undies.
Hmm. Animals wearing exactly correctly colored fur pants, over undies, over fur. Seems a bit redundant, but whatever, they’re humanoid animals.
With this group, I think we would have seen laundry mixups by now if that were the case.
Sabrina of sabrina-online.com wears exactly correctly colored fur pants, it’s an ongoing gag.
R-O-G-U-E. Oh, that’s how you spell it. Thanks Rouge!
… Oh GODS DAMMIT!
“…Did your Tube have a maiden name? Maybe that would work?”
East is so smack worthy. I know he’s just doing that to tick rogue off.
