So Evil Inc hasn't updated in 2 weeks...I'm scared.

Edit: NO WAIT NEVERMIND, the website is just acting weird.

PatrThom · Jul 14, 2014

I look at that picture and think, "Why is there a slice of blueberry pie sitting on a four-legged stool?"
I mean "Martineye" I can get, but don't get the pie.

One of the artist's signature easter eggs in every comic. There are five or six of them, I think.

Didn't new 52 Harle go through the same process as the Joker? So... why isn't her skin bleached? Or is it just that writers/artists didn't want to fuck up her sex appeal?

CynicismKills · Jul 16, 2014

The only thing I know about Nu52 Harley is she murdered hundreds of kids all at once with bombs.

Fun Size · Jul 16, 2014

It might be from Injustice. She and Green Arrow shacked up in easily the best part of the first volume, which would explain the arrows and the mustache.

Yeah, these panels are from Injustice, which is an another universe if I recall correctly.

It is, all based around the fighting game where Superman kills the Joker and becomes some kind of Emperor of Earth. Most of the other heroes and even villains are trying to bring him down, but he just keeps on killin'.

Cans of Beans: Story about a highstrung college student who has to deal with his part-time job, a slacker roommate, AND A TERRIFYING SECRET- thats revealed in like the first story. Looking good so far.

Hurly Burly: Agnes wakes to find that she can see ghosts, angels, demons, as well as her best friend's true form as a Sidhe. And to make matters even more confusing, she's apparently some sort of chosen one that the forces of heaven and hell are both fighting for. Lovely artwork, feel the word balloons can get a bit too texty at times but its not that bad.

I should sue for likeness infringement!

PatrThom · Jul 18, 2014

I suppose that depends on what color/insignia their can might have.

GasBandit · Jul 18, 2014

Depending on how much holodeck time they get, it might even be worth donning the feared red shirt.

PatrThom · Jul 18, 2014

I've heard people say, "I'd love a holodeck. I'd just dial that thing to simulate unpowered human flight and then fly for hours."
...and I would think, "...that's it?"

That sounds awesome.

What would you do? Reenact The Purge?

The orgies, of course.

Then try to pick out a car to take out on a track like '60s era Spa.

Relive a famous sporting event at a long-gone venue, like Ebbets Field or Chicago Stadium.

And maybe recreate pre-interstate America and take a coast-to-coast tour.

Sexual or other potentially embarrassing fantasies aside (you never know if the holodeck operator is going to hit "record" and take a copy of that crystal home, after all), people who want access to a holodeck because they want to do one specific thing are missing the point of a holodeck.

Having a malfunction, getting all the protagonists in trouble and/or danger of death and also providing an excuse to wash the StarFleet uniforms as the actors run around in weird period clothing.

The best excuse for such an episode I heard so far.

Well, you have a to fly few a few hours at least before you can join one of the sky orgies. Don't want to look like a tourist, all de-coupling and floating off. Right embarrassing, that is.

I imagined this in my head, and the sound effect went "Flibbidyflappityflibbidyflappityflibbidyflappityflibbidyflappity..."

Hey! I've seen that German skydiving video, too!

Clicked on a webcomic ad, was pleasantly surprised. Tales of Pylea. Still not sold on the writing, but the art is very nice.

Been reading CoB since it started. It was even part of Halcomics...when that was a thing.

Looks like the other Scott got his shit together and update VGCats regulary again. http://www.vgcats.com

PatrThom · Jul 22, 2014

He seems to be updating about once every couple of weeks.
Lately, he's been updating more often than Burlew.

--Patrick

GasBandit · Jul 22, 2014

Even Fred over at Megatokyo has started updating almost weekly again.. and I find that it's actually pretty crappy stuff now. I think he painted himself into a storytelling corner and now he's just trying to suture everything shut.

I think it's more that the story he was going to tell and the story he wants to tell NOW are completely different.

GasBandit · Jul 22, 2014

I think this comic could serve for any number of "adjectives are hot."

Yoshimickster · Jul 25, 2014

Latest Gunnerkrig court

...oh. I thought...okay. Unless that's not Zimmy and just another girl with black hair.

filmfanatic · Jul 25, 2014

Sadly, Brawl in the Family is coming to an end. The creator has said that he'd rather end the strip with 500+ good material, rather than just continuing and the comic becoming less funny over time. On the plus side, he may be looking into making a video game.

Is that supposed to be Jack Hyland, from the stupid "sneaking out to the power station" chapter that made me stop reading this comic for months? And since when does Zimmy have an eyebrow piercing and not-red eyes?
