#361 – Maintaining A Reputation
Boom, comic.

Happy Easter! Here’s a lovely Romero-esque passage from the Bible, about the Crucifixion.
50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
HAIL THE ZOMBIE KING OF THE ZOMBIES. Funny, come Easter time, nobody ever mentions the random zombie apocalypse that only appears in Matthew. I think they’re missing a trick, there. Zombies are really popular nowadays! The church should’ve jumped on the bandwagon, took advantage of the fad, and marketed chocolate brains alongside the totally-not-pagan eggs and rabbits. Not trying hard enough, guys! You want to get bums on pews? Zombie story! Make it happen!
Big thanks to all who donated. We met our goal in no time. It’s late, and I lack eloquence, so let’s cut to the ponies (also dog-disguised alien robots).
How bout that early Portal 2 release, eh? Sure did get us excited over nothing. Just as well, really. Otherwise I’d've played it all weekend, and there’d be no comic.
Comic yay. Late-ish, but on-time comics start NOW.
As I mentioned last week, my Working Holiday Visa just expired, and now it’s time to start the application process for Permanent Resident status. There are some fees associated with these applications, and my girlfriend common-law wife and I would be very appreciative if you were to throw some money our way to help cover the costs. If you can spare some change guvnor, click her PayPal button below:
Y’never know, I might be swayed by your boundless generosity into drawing some bonus drawings around here.*
This week’s script written by special guest writer M Night Shyamalan!
Sorry for lateness, been busy and it was kind of a rough one to get done. I wouldn’t expect an update any time this weekend either. But, comics should be fully on time in coming weeks/months, since my Canadian work visa is about to run out in one week and I shall be forcibly unemployed by government mandate. Lucky for you then.
Just a heads up the comic is delayed slightly. Hopefully up soon. Sorry.
I think everyone knows the basics: that it has a duck bill, a beaver tail, otter feet and lays eggs. Less well-known peculiarities include:
Its body temperature is a good five degrees C lower than most mammals. But it’s very good at keeping it constant, even in icy water.
The ‘bill’ is not duck-like at all, it’s rubbery and packed with electroreceptors to detect the electrical fields generated by the muscles of prey wrigging in the mud – a common sense in fish, but unique in mammals.
The eggs are soft and leathery, closer to reptile eggs than bird. Despite this reptilian trait, the hatchlings are fed milk, like all mammals. But the mother lacks nipples – she sweats milk from pores and the young lap it from her belly.
Young are born with teeth, but they quickly drop out. Adults possess none.
It’s venomous – common in reptiles and insects, but unique in mammals. The male has retractable ‘stingers’ on his rear ankles, and could kill a small dog.
Most mammals have two sex chromosomes, XY or XX. Platypus have ten (XYXYXYXYXY or XXXXXXXXXX).
Amazing creature.
Virus has been feeling ill this week and as such was unable to do the comic. Should be something this week however. Sorry for the delay.
Seriously, think of this comic less about about Rolf Harris and more of a revelation of how my mind works. Seriously, if I saw the man walking down the street I’d be half-tempted to give him a great big cuddle.
Also, this is one of those comics that is almost a word for word conversation between me and Eastwood in real life. He had pretty much the same reaction.
