These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
And Artie as the comic comes closer to its finale what with him becoming more of a Magnificent Bastard than Joel could ever hope to be. Once someone who had a vibe of being a good natured slacker, attaining Melusine as his Spiritual Symbiote has brought him to the same path as our former 'Hero' and is likely becoming WORSE!
In the wake of Matt's apparently willing and aware embrace of Joel's supervillainy, the fanbase reaction seems to have charted a course for Draco in Leather Pants.
Complete Monster: Joel is clearly this what with his revenge plot. Artie looks to be heading in this direction according to recent strips.
High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Joel's psychic battles with Father Tim and Artie. And more recently, Millicent, which was even creepier.
Chelsie is pretty damn scary. As is Kate's reasoning behind keeping her little harem; the knowledge that some people think this is a reasonable argument is terrifying. Mercifully the author's demonstrated he doesn't think so.
Follow the url in the alt text for this comic. Go here if you need help. If the letters don't creep you out, Miranda's infected version of the site, complete with drawings never on the regular site to begin with will give you absolute chills.
Immelmann changing his sig. on the forum didn't help.
Immy hypnotized in bondage: "Vote for The Baron" f5 "Gentlemen prefer the Baron" f5 "I want the Baron's babies." etc.
The signature cycles through exactly 27 different phrases. Out of these, only one◊ isn't Baron-related.
Moral Event Horizon: There are several different points when Joel could be seen to have crossed it, perhaps most notably revealing that he was the one who gave Artie cancer and then he keeps going.
Artie himself had a moment, making the oil tanker crash into the Dolphin city. However, it's ambiguous if he actually fully intended to do it.
Matt's big damn speech he gives to Artie would be much easier to take seriously if he wasn't drawn wearing bright blue bike-shorts and a skin-tight t-shirt.
