#816: "Also, Rodney is imaginary, so..."
 

King Steve may be my favorite character.

He is awesome, never been a bad King Steve comic.

King Steve should have is own comic.

He's that awesome.

One could make that case, but then one would have to assume that 8-bit theaters plot development is anything but random and accidental.

Y'know, that Mario Communism thing is pretty old. I recall watching it like, a year or more ago.

Still pretty freaking cool though.

Also, I'm still waiting for Imperialist Mario taking over the Mushroom Kingdom for the US to exploit it's natural resources and mind/body altering shrooms, and Catholic Mario converting the pagan Koopas by breaking their knees with his hammer.

On today's comic, I think it's a pity that the piece of string, Steve's arch nemesis, wasn't allowed at that particular poker game, lest Corneria have things like 'justice' and 'freedom'.

Honestly the people of Corneria have probably just given up on listenning to thier monarch and pay him lipservice while they actually enjoy a free market, semi-communist health and education systems and are generally free from the idiotic interferences of higher government. I mean honestly do you think the place would be as sucessful as it is if Steve actually ran things (I leave out the King bit because I hope Rodney refuses to relinquish 'control' of the kingdom).

King Steve still controls their military, though. At least, he wields enough power to declare Warroween.

Or does he...I still vote a dog and pony show put on by the populace to maintain their peace.

Did that actually look more like Luigi to anyone else? I mean, think about it: A communist Luigi would be more likely to wear red. And the likelihood of Luigi leading a communist uprising was addressed by me in the past.

If you don't mind me asking, would this be a tribute to Michael?

Hang on a moment. KS just admitted Rodney's imaginary. Could he be becoming sane?

I think it's actually a little more insane of him to know that the Rodney is imaginary and still act as if he weren't.

Point taken.

Maybe Rodney might even be a better King than Steve. I mean, even a figment of imagination from Steve's mind can't be much worse than Steve on his own.

Can it? (Wait, do I even want that question answered?)

(And I know I need to get to work on Tiamat sprites Brian... I just wish for once you'd bug me about such matters.)

I think people like the characters for various reasons.

Steve: 'Cause he's just so lovable with his rose-tinted view of the world.
RM: Because he gets so excited about geeky stuff.
BM: Because he does what we all want to do, but don't, and has the most expressive face (ironic, eh?).
Fighter: Because he's as lovably dumb and oblivious as Steve.
Thief: 'Cause he's such an @$$, but smart about it.
WM: Because she's become so patently unhealerlike over time.
BB: Because he's something nobody can have. We humans always want the unattainable.

As for the comic: I think it's cute. But wasn't Rodney the stain on the floor? o_0

O...M...G....

its bad enough King Steve, who is the biggest MORON in the comic (topping even Fighter), was driving Corneria into utter RUIN...

but now...now its being ruled by a frigging COFFEE STAIN??!!

tis a sad, sad, SAD day for Corneria, tis a sad, sad, SAD day indeed...

The Coffee Stain is urged on by his wife Twinkevita.

They'll crush dissenters with the Army and have a musical written about them.

HELL YES! King Steve! This episode made me remember that King Steve is my favorite character. Ever since the teleporting turkey it's just been non-stop pure win. And the episode before the teleporting tukey was great, too!!

Anyway, King Steve episodes will always be my favorite episodes, although I would like to see more of Fighter's journal.

P.S. I just realized that I am an idiot because only an idiot would want more King Steve.

I think the real problem with King Steve isn't that his left hand doesn't know what his right hand is doing.

I think it's Rodney being a different part of King Steve's brain that apparently only manifests itself whenever Gary isn't around.

But at least Gary got props from King Steve.
I don't see any fucking typos.

...Rodney is a COFFEE STAIN that Steve made his right hand cause he is as smart as a box of crushed rock dust.

...that means he is dumber than Fighter. King Steve is DUMBER than FIGHTER!! that is saying a LOT

Although, technically, BM, RM, Thief and Drizzl are all dumber then fighter as well...

The coffe stain is merely his projection into the physical world.

And besides, Fighter is the smartest one in the group.

The Wandering God

Am I the only one who smelled quest advancement? Mmm, MQ exp.

You know this might actually be a good thing for the people of Corneria. I mean how badly can a coffee stain screw things up more than Steve? I've always thought it was weird that the citizens never rallied behind Princess Sara to overthrow King Steve, I mean you'd think a damn military coup would've happened by now.

I guess princess Sara's never tried to lead one. And I doubt the military minds him too much... except maybe about their orders during the war with elfland...

noone cares probably, plus Princess Sara has most likely already taken over, and is just letting steve be, well.... steve

But King Steve is like... old or something. And as we all know, old people can't stupid--just senile (see: Bill Cosby).

And just for clarification, Luigi is more Leninist whereas Mario is more Stalinist. But Mario, being the more widely-recognized of the two, is immortalized in iconic format over a greater spectrum for some reason.

Also, I just typed three consecutive sentences beginning with conjunctions.

Old people can be dumb as fuck (see: George dubya) there's just some sort of wisdom that comes with being old.

plus, Mario is obviously Marxist.

...........the people are screwed.
