When a webcomic updates but you don't want to make a huge deal out of it, what you do

Holy crap I will have nightmares about King Hippo now...

The ridiculous thing about this latest run of Shortpacked isn't that the roommate is gay, it's that she's acting like Leslie fucking Bean, Toy Store Clerk is the first other lesbian she's ever met.

It has been postulated that Malaya is, in fact, only acting like Leslie's the first other lesbian she's ever met in order to get into her pants, given her sticking her tongue out at Robin because I guess she's the new bluh bluh huge bitch.

Also, given how M. Bison's pointed out that she apparently dates guys all the time, it looks like Willis is going for the old "evil is bi" trope that goes a long way to pissing me right the fuck off.

I figure there's at least an even chance that the "dating tons of dudes" thing is just Willis cribbing furiously from Glee.

In any case I think it's a safe bet that, whatever it ends up being, it'll be stupid and I won't like it.

That is pretty much exactly how the Captain N cartoon would have depicted the Space Pirates, too.

No, look, you guys, I've got it: Sonic UNDEAD dragon! Booyah!

Er, what I mean is, my, yes, this is interesting series of events in Erfworld, isn't it?

In Goblins, "Mr. Creepy" (what Thunt called the monster once) continues to be... um... wat. No, really, I'm curious. What is it? It's just... huh. "Creepy" I guess is the correct word. Also, I wonder if K's diplomacy check actually worked? Still, I never got into this set of characters as much, and, while I'm curious about what will happen, for whatever reason, these guys just don't grab me as characters as much. The Prince is kind of a jerk (and still hasn't adequately explained why he wanted Dies along), Fox is kind of... I dunno, and K is just kind of... okay for being funny, but possibly about to die very badly. Klik's cool, though. Dies is kind of... a very used one-trick-pony. I want to see him live, but I want to see his destiny averted, but it's being hammered pretty hard. Hard to believe I'm about to say this, but I'm kind of interested in seeing Chinmax* (Loyal, you win, I caved and used the name!) again and how that all works itself out instead. However, I bet once we get past the immediate two (or three) threats involved with this Mr. Creepy trial, even if we're left hanging, we're going to go back to the core goblins cast and that is something I'm interested in very, very much.

Anyone read Sluggy anymore? 'Cause right now, there are three very big questions for me: one, ALT Dr. Schlock aka His Masterness supposedly died from getting shot... no. He couldn't have. That's stupid. They just explained that the Nanite repair everything, every wrinkle in your brain. Shot =/= death here. Frog's clearly insane, so the question is, where IS "His Masterness"? Two, who wants to bet that Zoe is, in fact, fine, but has the memories of ALT Zoe now (and is the person emerging from the tube)? Three, Harbinger isn't really dead - can't be, in fact, even if there were no Nanites -, so what the heck is going to happen with that? Any guesses?

Finally, Captain SNES is made of win! "Space Yar" is exactly something the old Captain N would have done with space pirates! It's so cheesy, terrible, and shows so little understanding of the source material that there is no way that it couldn't be included in Captain N! It's brilliant!

It was halfway down the page of this recent Captain SNES update that I learned to appreciate my ability to throw the killswitch on my brain on short notice.
