This was not a triumph

Portal-powered perpetual motion deviceI'm afraid this proves it. It is thermodynamically impossible and can thus never be.

I AM SO SORRY.

Wall of text syndrome

MIKE: I swear it's getting like there's not enough hours in the day to be a gamer. CHRIS: Mm-hm. MIKE: Now all these developers insist on littering the games with secret unlockables, alternative endings, hidden characters and so on... and don't get me wrong, I think that's ADORABLE... CHRIS: Yuh. MIKE: ...but I don't have time to play through the game TWICE to access all the content that I PAID FOR. CHRIS: Right. MIKE: But strategy guides just spoil the fun. The only real solution is to have someone else read along as you play, and warn you if you're about to miss something. CHRIS: Who does that with you, then? MIKE: Nobody. No-one wants to. That's the problem. CHRIS: Too much like hard work? MIKE: Well, that and they object to the term 'FAQ-buddy'.They wear the ear-ring. It is their uniform.

A rare action sequence

There's no dialogue, and what's left would lose something in the transcription. I will say this, though - it's got to be uncomfortably hot in that suit.Scanner news: I have a new scanner. Rejoice!

Man, that last panel is rubbish; I didn't think it through properly when I was doing it. I should redraw it. I should go and redraw it with a better explosion. It'd make more sense. It'd be something we could some day tell our kids. I'm gonna do that right now.

It was a rhetorical answer

WOMAN: Why do left-handed people always write all hunched round like that? ME: Because otherwise your hand smudges everything as you move across the page. (beat) WOMAN: Wow! Someone finally explained it!!It may not be funny, but it's true. I am as an ambassador for my kind.

See, I can do senseless violence

ELITA: Well? FELIX: It is done. The security system is disabled from within. They won't know what hit them. ELITA: Fantastic. And with that, you outlive your usefulness. FELIX: E-Elita? ELITA: Come now, what did you expect? That I'd allow a confessed traitor into our midst? You know of my plans, therefore you cannot live. Simple. FELIX: I... you can't! This... this is insane! Please, Elita! Please! ELITA: Wait, wait a minute. Check this out. This is going to be funny. Go on, Felix. Plead for your life again. Go ahead. FELIX: This... this isn't some *BLAM BLAM* ELITA: Hold that thought.Ever thus to the genre-blind.

You may notice the complete lack of backgrounds. This is so that you can project your own context upon this tale! Oh, the fun. Why are they speaking with such awkward syntax? Which one is the baddie? What are they even talking about? Is that a special future gun, or did the cartoonist simply get carried away? You decide.

Or maybe I'm just too idle to spend an extra twenty minutes drawing scenery. Sigh. Doing backgrounds is hard. Why should I be the only one slaving away at it? If only I had access to Photoshop and Google image search, then I could have a world famous web comic, with its own range of T-shirts and tote bags. And respect! All the respect I can eat! You'll pay! You'll all pay!!
