Comic for Monday, March 28th
This chapter has a lot of jumping around, even by my standards. Interestingly enough, it’s because it’s a chapter with a lot of overlap between threads. It seems like that would mean less jumping around, but no, no it does not. 😉
Sorry there has been a bit of a content-void the last bit, work’s been a pain, which saps a lot of the time and energy out of the ecosystem. While comic drawing is the primary hobby (as it’s sort of like a mini-job due to ad revenue, patreons, and the other wonderful folks here waiting for new pages), it still only gets a lion’s share of the rest of the time, so when the time-pie gets smaller… honestly I have no idea where that one was going. Something something, wah wah, whine whine, “I’ll have more time and draw more in the future”™

This page, right here, is why most “mad scientist” stories are complete trash. Sooner or later SOMEBODY is going to ask that one very simple question that Mr Koko did at the end.
Great scene here. Mr. Koko took a level in bad-assery, obviously, and got a pretty good grade in it. The way he put the noxious and nauseating Dr. Mir in her (its?) place was well written.
So many… pages… so much… missed commenting… must sleep off jet lag and resist commenting on every page…
Ah! So much to comment on I do not know where to start! The consul’s crew looks interesting. Excited to see Mir maybe finally explain herself a bit. We will see if Ryn has some character development to do… so much stuff! Agh! Peter still be Peter, Ila and Mium with a fairly glorious scene. My brain is not built for this much TFSoU at once.
Now, I must go back and re-read all the pages, and the comments
again.
These last few pages have been choked full of juicy character building bits and very important plot points. All, very, very important.
I want to make a scene where we see Ila, Mium, Rovak and some guy we don’t know (In big glasses and a fake nose) eating ice cream.
Well, let’s see here. In psychology, the term “Moron” (no longer in use) denoted someone with an IQ between 50 and 70, while “Idiot” (no longer in use) denoted someone with an IQ between 0 and 25, so thus the terms are indeed NOT synonymous. What then would we call a person who with arrogant superciliousness declared that they were?
Why, you would call such a lackwit a “Mir”, of course. ^^
And for her list of accomplishments, she has lost control of two (more probably three) of her lab’s prototypes, allowed a SMAI virus to mock and thwart her at will, and attracted the disapproving eye of the I.D.S.–which lead directly to the need for a new lab complex. O.o
I’d really like to hear how she justifies her continued employment at Avon. 🙂
Idiot, as a legal term, means someone who is unaccustomed to the laws of the land. Such as a foreigner.
Nobody is brave enough to actually fire her.
Ultimate job security, right there.
Of course, the obvious way around that is to declare the company bankrupt, form a new company, and not hire her. That way, you never fired her, didn’t quit your job, and no longer have her as an employee.
How to get what you want starring Mir:
step 1: insult your new supervisor.
step 2: (indirectly) threaten to kill your new supervisor.
step 3: insult your new supervisor again.
to be fair it seems like it might actually be working.(it probably helps that said supervisor has reason to get Mir what she wants anyway)
Well, in her defense, she is Mir. I don’t think we’ve seen her be civil yet. She does seem to have a rap sheet with Human Resources after all…
You mean she hasn’t destroyed HR yet? She been slackin’.
I really want the 4th panel “c;ear” to not be a typo, but sadly I must point it out.
I blame spell check for that one. Spellcheck shoulda caught that one. Fixed, thanks 😉
the line is “I should probably steer clear of the more COMPLEX linguistic concepts.” also on the bottom left corner, it’s “I would rather be doing basically ANYTHING else, than dealing with the brand of crazy that is down here.”
Fixed, I think. Thanks! I didn’t add the comma on the second one, comma make me pause when reading which reads weird to me (it’s probably correct to put it – I wouldn’t know – but I sort of compromise with this grammar thing 😉 ).
I suspect it should be like “other than” or “rather than”, but that seems overly wordy to me.
