Stuff happens! Whoa!

Random bit of info for y'all: in the script, the monster guy was referred to as, well, “Monster Guy”, or MG fer short.

And more scanner issues throughout these next batch of pages; by the end o' the year it might could be rectified what with the acquisition of my very own. If that happens, I swear t' y'all right now I'm gonna single-handedly rescan the whole fuckin' book. I mean, uh, “webcomic”. I forget this isn't print.

@Peipei: I don't think anyone really buys the “great mind” claim. ;)

@Kristen: I admire yer efforts to dig up the clues!

@chernobog: Heh. Funny ya say that. I'd be lyin' if I said that a lot of how Cutter talks wasn't inspired by Festus. (Not the same voice, though.)
Fer them of y'all unfamiliar with the genius that is “Gensmoke”, here's a typical Festus-centric episode.

Your ad here, right now

wellllll....livers come and livers go. Thanks to PBR.

Well I bet they're thinking, "Thank god we hid the beer". I was kind of assuming Monster Guy was going to be friendly. You know - you think he's after your liver, but really he's just lonely and wants to be your friend. Obviously I was wrong. I meant to say, I'm glad you won those awards - you really deserved them. It's obvious they're areas you work hard at. I like this comic :).

The other day I wrote "First time you have show that the inhabitants of the Hub are more than window dressing dressing. " What I meant to say was "... more than window dressing dangerous. "

Damn reminds me of Fat Bob's. Monster would have had several cue sticks stabbed in his liver the moment the knife appeared. But this version is more interesting. hmmm Festus of Gunsmoke or Hop Sing from Bonanza? Festus, but only because Hop Sing got so little play. Man that's some cool hatching.

Can't believe it took me this long to properly get to The Hub and read through the archives. Seriously, you have a fantastic comic going here. Top notch artwork paired with a complex, interesting and deepening story. The characters are vibrant and distinct. In short, its all simple stunning. Took me long enough to get to it, but I plan on sticking around from here. I really think Monster Guy could've found better liver candidates. Although it might depend on what he actually wants to do with said body part...

Eeeps!

Hilarious dialogue.

Dear Hyena, Well cutter is kind of old, maybe he felt to sacrafice himself so the others might live with their Livers. Monster did not kill cutter cause alive, Monster will get fresher Liver. Body parts are now in fact being bought and sold through the world. Poor arabs, chinese prisoners, and many others knowingly sell a kidney for 5,000 American goes for 60,000 70,000 not including surgeon charge Simple:) Calamity has brains, looks, body, heart, soul, mind, and guts! She Will Survive! "The Supperior Female!":) Best course of action? Vic and Cal slowly back away while slowly seperating. Keeping eye out for useful wheapons (Rock to throw...,) while seeing if window of opputunity opens to save Cutter. This is not a fun sitituation! It has occured when tsamani hit from Earth Quake 2005 Indonisia, Typhons in Asia. New Orleans also! Stuff that mainstream Media "forgets" to report:) Tommym

This begs the question: what happens if you die while in The Hub? Do you go to another Hub?

Graphictruth at 5:33PM, Sept. 22, 2009

There's "Pickled" and then there's "Embalmed." Hm. Are we going to find out that In the End, Death is Futile? Or is there a Deus Ex Machismo waiting in the wings?

Victor reminds me of myself... at least during a fight, I tend to have big mouth. I been hit in the face a couple of times but that hasn't stop me from making "wisecracks" ... sigh... I guess I like to make fun of stupid, big and strong guys that can beat the crap out of me. Sometimes I'm lucky and some just "tilt" with my jokes and go away.

patrickdevine at 1:32PM, Sept. 22, 2009

Yeah! Who's afraid of big demonic-looking guys waving sharp knives around and like to eat human livers? (Me.) At least they had the foresight to hide the beer.

Kristen Gudsnuk at 11:08AM, Sept. 22, 2009

no- no REALLY, you don't want their livers. Or their lungs, for that matter. oh man I could so totally beat that guy (at super smash brothers, maybe...)!

Astar at 11:02AM, Sept. 22, 2009

This had my hair standing up.

RUN

theorah at 10:01AM, Sept. 22, 2009

lol he sure picked the wrong people

freefall_drift at 9:12AM, Sept. 22, 2009

Great stuff. He wants more than beer. First time you have show that the inhabitants of the Hub are more than window dressing dressing. Will be interesting to see how they get out of this one. If they talk their way out, or somehow fight their way out. Hummm, she is of Greek origin, maybe she's Wonder Woman's more jaded, more full figure, older sister?

harkovast at 7:05AM, Sept. 22, 2009

They are taking the fact this guy wants their livers really quite well! Personally, I would have legged it away from his big fat scarey arse pretty early in the conversation!
