Enter the Alex…
And now… now this comic goes into second gear…
A few of my IRL friends know where I’m going with this, and I’m pretty sure they’d tell the rest of you: Get ready for one hell of a ride. I’ve been waiting to introduce Alex since before we launched the comic, but I had to establish the other characters first. Although Mick will always be the “main character,” Alex is such an intrinsic part of the story, I don’t even…
And yes, there has always been an overarching story for this strip. I have at least 3 years to tell this story. Alex is the last major player I needed to introduce.
I see that Jörg Sprave saw yesterday’s strip, and liked it. As I said in his forums: If he is ever in Texas, or I’m in Burgkunstadt, I want to go to a gym with him to see if I can even bench half the kgs he can, before we blow up a nearby planet with his slingshots and then drink beer until our eyes fall out.
Because the man makes slingshot crossbows that fire machetes. MACHETES. Why he isn’t working for NASA, I don’t know.
I think his next project should be a slingshot that fires other slingshots. Just because that’s the only remaining level of ridiculousness. I’m assuming you’ve seen the video of his anti-zombie slingshot, aka a war club with some rubber attached?
Thank you for treating the cat as a spectator instead of a target…
I used to have a ton of shoulder-length hair dyed anime blue, and a scanned photo of my driver’s license to prove it. (: Finally had to shave my head because I got freaked out by all the stares I got and complete strangers knowing who I was. It was fun while it lasted, though.
a)Getting hair blue. An ex of mine dyed her hair magenta for a time. On her, it looked natural.
b)Machetes. I want you to know, the knowledge that there exists in this world a slingshot that shoots machetes has given me hope. We live in an age of miracles and wonders. Who needs flying cars?
I think his slingshots can penetrate the armor on an Abrams tank mainly because the dude is gorilla enough to stretch a 2″ rubber band until you can hear it sing from across the road.
If that was *me* most of that stuff would probably be going “phut” and not even denting the cardboard.
Still, I love the giggle after the first shot.
1. great googly moogly who is this alex, i want to get to know her,
2. even greater googly and more moogly, I WANT A SLINGSHOT THAT SHOOTS BATTLEAXES.
…19mm lead shot?! ,,,=O!O=,,,
Hm. Around my house, wearing just a t-shirt counts as “naked” — and 15% off the month’s rent. (sexist? moi?! durn tootin’ I am!)
My suspension of disbelief has been damaged. She owns the house, but can’t afford a decent headset for her Xbox? I mean seriously, you can get a good set of Turtle Bays for $30-$40.
Maybe it’s a distribution thing… to offset the weight of that haircut…
I’ve been thinking about this off and on, all day. I think I know where this is goinnnggggg…..
Also, cute last name for her. Can’t wait till Mick meets her. Like, bringing Heidi home from somewhere, nicht wahr?
Wonder who “the asshole” is?
Good eye! You’ll find out.
I think 45hunter noticed the same thing I did. As in, might this be someone to whom Heidi wishes to administer a .45ACP vasectomy?
I’m still geeking out the she is The Whisperer’s daughter.
The guy who just bought a tack-driver from Olaf’s store.
Probably Mick.
