Sinfest

Honestly, the only saving throw for Tats would be if Vainglorious turned out to be Lil'E's mom crossdressing... OH QUCK NO. I just realized what I wrote: that the reason why Vainglorious is so powerful would be because "he" is actually a glorious, unbreakable, mighty female, as Tats likes to declare. I take it back. It wouldn't be a saving throw, but rather the final nail in the coffin.

The storyline involving Lil'E's mom appears only a handful of times a year. And most of them were Sunday strips.

As to what happened to her, besides being the (inadvertent) founder of the Sisterhood, her crossdressing as Vainglorious, and my joke regarding her getting picked up by people from a parallel dimension... what if the Sisterhood is somehow a cult worshipping her?

Heh. We get a good look at the statue of Justice and it turns out to look EXACTLY like Lil'E's mom with a blindfold.

Given the suggestion that Lil' E's mom is actually Lilith, this would make a depressing amount of sense.

What if Vainglorious is some sort of SJW hipster that refuses to identify by any known gender? At least that would be funny!

For most people. With Tats and his fans though, they'd probably be taking it dead seriously.

Why would you program assassin bots to feel pain? Why?

Also, I want these ladies to cross Xanthe's path. One of then is in a trench coat and neglige, another is in a cleavage exposing leather tube top, and the third one has a bit of make up on. The sheer sight of these three would send Xanthe into a rage coma.

Though now I have to wonder how they payed for that. Ah well, question later, enjoying the mental image of Xanthe going...

too much to care

First thing that came to my mind, more or less.

Our holier-than-thou-because-I-don't-sexualize-women author once again shows he's incapable of drawing a woman that's not in skin-tight and/or revealing clothing.

For all he complains of us wanting Failnique to 'shake her ass' again, $20 says he's jacked it to every girl he ever drew.

Plus there's the fact that the assassinbots got the clothes without having any money. Did they actually contract to kill someone?

But when HE does it, he's "appreciating the female form" or some crap like that.

Honestly, I'm expecting his Tumblr fans to throw a shitfit over this. I've seen the SJW types on there outright ostracize their own for things like this, and the #Gamer Gate thing has them on edge as it is.

@Fembots feeling pain: I suppose it's part of their self-preservation procedures? Or a carryover from the civiliam model?

glances at a MEC literally shrugging off a plasma rifle hit

But aren't there more efficient methods of ensuring self-preservation anyway, especially for robots?

Does the assassin-bots walking fully clothed out of the store mean they have a contract to kill somebody or did they just kill the shopkeeper and be done with it? Both are pretty horrible to do.

Robots don't need a way to process pain. They need a way to detect damage and respond to it, but processing a disabling emotional response to it is just useless.

The cleavage shots of the assassin-bot that's falling down vary. It's almost like he's fighting an urge not to show too much but can't help himself. In the second panel its top is a lot lower than the second panel. While in the third panel the leather wearing droid is suddenly showing a lot more cleavage. To have them show so much cleavage would require a pretty odd stance, Tats you dirty man!

Also, if Milton is able to try to establish a wireless connection he should be able to know where they are. They must be sending out some kind of wireless signal Milton is able to detect. He could just as easily send in the eye-bots to destroy them. Damn you Tats and your shitty knowledge of technology!

Sunday strip: "I'm going to miss you, Convenient Replacement Character I knew for five minutes."

Not really on the locating tech. He'd at best have a broad area, but one ping isn't a locator.

But, yeah, those cleavage shots. $40 more on the bet that he drew them naked already and is jacking it to those.

I'll bet 80 that afterwards he spends a fair bit staring at a mirror telling himself what a horrible person he is for doing so.

This comic should be stuffed into a turkey. Still, Lil'E's not crying, and Tangie is being Tangie. Can't really complain beyond that.

I'm good with this. This is the kind we like. The silly nonsense that Sinfest is supposed to be.

Little Evil's eyes are getting bigger every time he shows up. Anybody else notices this?

I find it hard to feel anything for this particular comic since it's so formulaic. He has done dramatic close-up into silly situation so often already.

Also the tonal shifts every time with this random stuff are grating to me. Previous comic we see three murder-bots on their way for a mission to pay for those clothes or hastily leaving a murder scene. This comic we have two people playing ping pong.

To be fair, I can give him some credit for using only three panels this time instead of smearing it out over four.

Man, this is getting predictable... Filler-2-3 PLOT! Filler-2 PLOT!

Far more likely the question of how they got the clothes will never be addressed, and they will simply wander into some new Wacky Adventure.

So Evil Slick has gone all Invasion Of The Body Snatchers on us.

Gotta admit, I did not see that coming.

OH LOOK! A NEW PLOT THREAD! SURELY THIS WILL BE WRAPPED UP IN A TIMELY OR AT LEAST SATISFYING MANNER!

Well, at least we have enough internal consistency that Squigley and Slick are still employed. That's something at least.

I was afraid they'd just work for that one plot arc, and then Tats would just forget it.

And next we have 1 filler for Saturday, TOTALLY PLOT RELEVANT Sunday strip that doesn't actually advance the plot and then 3 fillers.

And the cycle will repeat itself.

This is 9001st time Tat's had done it and he has gotten very efficient at it.

Oh for fucks sake. He's got a tail and horns. How do you think he's doing?!
