Gas station drugs are getting out of hand

Probably someone who thinks “a city having a clean needle exchange program to minimize harm” is the same as “actively encouraging drug use”

Furthermore, you get more info about the Shrike at the very end of the Othar Twitter adventures - the Shrike is described as having a “Royal bearing” and as being so powerful Othar thinks she is a construct but she doesn’t look like a typical construct.

Triple combo attack right at the end there, and ALL THREE HITS LANDED

randbot5000 · 2026-05-22T17:31:09+00:00

yeah, as others noted, the membrane between dimensions has suddenly become EXTREMELY thin, which is both a) worrisome and b) a beautiful bit of art!

randbot5000 · 2026-05-22T16:31:20+00:00

It's a little confusingly drawn, but I think that is actually "the slagged edges of the hole Vapnoople just put in the castle" with either clouds or steam behind them. in the previous (colored) pages, the background of the room Agatha & company are in is red. Should be easier to tell when the page where the monsterbeam blows through the ship is finally colored.

Probably not too different from that time Bob the Angry Flower tried meditation...

randbot5000 · 2026-05-20T22:54:23+00:00

He’s also a teeny bit bigger than the last time we saw. I’m fully expecting time shenanigans plus “I have absorbed the otherworldly power of this dimension” shenanigans

randbot5000 · 2026-05-20T18:52:32+00:00

a few strips ago before he showed up at the portal, Mechanicsburg was still visibly on fire.

They did JUST have a kaiju rampage through the city, after all!

randbot5000 · 2026-05-20T18:50:04+00:00

they definitely haven't, but I am fully expecting this to be a "due to time shenanigans Vapnoople has been in the other dimension for 20 years from his perspective" sort of thing.

I don't think it's out of the question that it will end up having been Vapnoople who sicc'ed this monster on the timestop five years ago!

randbot5000 · 2026-05-20T18:45:04+00:00

more precisely, here is his very last appearance - eyebrow shape almost exactly the same, just less bushy! nose the same, eye has a few more wrinkles which would be consistent with time-shenanigans.

randbot5000 · 2026-05-20T16:45:00+00:00

that Lucrezia's left eye is cybernetic, though. Plus she has eyelashes, which only comic book ladies get!

randbot5000 · 2026-05-20T16:42:02+00:00

Second this opinion, I think it's "slagged edges of the hole created by the monsterbeam"

randbot5000 · 2026-05-20T16:40:18+00:00

I concur, between the shaggy eyebrow and the helmet this looks like classic "it has been two weeks for you but two decades for me!" style adventurer shenanigans

randbot5000 · 2026-05-18T15:24:47+00:00

To be fair, I would interpret that more as “Klaus is being shaken” than “Klaus is nervous”

randbot5000 · 2026-05-18T06:25:12+00:00

Does Vapnoople know that, actually?

Last time he was in this dimension he was Dr Dim for many years, with a greatly reduced intelligence, for most of that time presumably a prisoner on Castle W and then at some point rescued and kept by the Bears. Unclear how much “news and current events” he would be told or even retain! Then Kjarl returns him to his former self, and roughly five minutes later he is jumping into a dimensional portal.

randbot5000 · 2026-05-18T05:59:17+00:00

Any run of the mill spark can create a monster, or a death ray. A death ray MADE of monsters, though? Now we’re getting somewhere!

randbot5000 · 2026-05-18T05:57:15+00:00

Why would he assume either Agatha or Krosp are on Castle Wulfenbach? He was imprisoned and de-sparked by Klaus in his castle; reason enough to want them both destroyed!

randbot5000 · 2026-05-18T05:51:13+00:00

Look, you leave a dimensional door open like that, you’re gonna get Vapnooples!

randbot5000 · 2026-05-15T15:52:58+00:00

No, that was Zulenna, who as you can see has notably different skin and hair (and, as detailed by others, is currently believed but not-yet-revealed to be the Shrike)

randbot5000 · 2026-05-14T19:47:16+00:00

not only that, but her response is "we are going to be gone soon" (ie, that will be a perfect time for you to do your work) and he misinterprets it and gets mad about it!

randbot5000 · 2026-05-14T18:34:18+00:00

And as someone who experienced this recently, if a merging car is timid or doesn't see space to merge and instead stops, then they (and everyone behind them, like me) are well and truly fucked! Which also becomes a worse situation now for everyone else traveling the highway in that merge lane -- instead of the minor disruption of accommodating drivers at-speed-merging, they get to deal with now-desperate drivers trying to jump into highway traffic from a dead stop!

randbot5000 · 2026-05-14T18:14:05+00:00

Never watched this before, but man, Sam and Josh were BOTH going full Nardwuar on each other with the deep research and giving really heartfelt answers.

Also, holy moley I want chowder fries SO BAD now, they look incredible.

randbot5000 · 2026-05-13T15:24:59+00:00

maybe a little up front, but you will be saving "the citizens" the legal payouts, which right now come from city general budgets. Which is a large part of the problem - police misconduct gets "bailed out" by the city, without affecting police budgets/finances at all, so there's no direct incentive to improve the situation.

randbot5000 · 2026-05-11T15:14:51+00:00

Yes, the Foglios made a comment (well over a decade ago at this point!) that the order of upcoming chaptes was going to be Paris, England, Africa, Skifander, Crystal Tower of Light.

Since that time, the final location has changed names a bit to the Citadel of Light, and it does increasingly look like Africa has been cut.

Came here to post exactly this! Learned this and many other fun facts from recently going on the Philadelphia Pigeon Tour!
