Sinfest

I've seen that one, as well as others like it. They get pretty old pretty quick after they made their point, though.

Also, I can critisize Sinfest well enough without invoking Godwin's Law. Besides, who'd need to, when you have the literal DEVIL walking around.

Speaking of deals with the devil, what do you suppose would happen if Sinfest went One More Day on Xanthe and had her make a deal with the devil to get rid of the patriarchy? What would she have to pay/surrender to make the deal? How would the Devil double-cross her on it? And how would Xanthe get out of it?

Well, if we think of a "one more day" situation, she would ask to get rid of all men... and the Devil would grant her wish, free of charge. She'd go to tell her friends of her victory and find ABSOLUTELY NOBODY. She'd go back, thinking that Big D tricked her, and he'd say "Here's another freebie for you: a book on reproduction. Have fun being the only human on the planet..." Oh, and how she'd get out of it? That's easy: she'd have to sell her soul to bring the men back.

There's no more perfect swindle than an absolutely honest deal where one of the contractors didn't think things through.

Can you really invoke Godwin if the comparison that's being made is a valid point? It's not a simple "Call in Hitler, argument over". It shows the true meaning of what Tats is making his characters say. The Sisterhood's message is basically hate speech, but people accept it because men are the target.The whole point of Nazifest is to show how the true message comes to light when you change the target of their hate to something less socially acceptable.

With Xanthe I get the feeling she prefers the death of the human race to the possibility of men still walking around.

The idea of a "Mr. Justice" walking around somewhere makes me giggle. He comes from a long line of Justices, like Bob Justice (cheese maker), Hubert Justice (used cars salesman) and the aptly named Justin Justice (lead singer in a boy band). With a name like that you're basically obligated to become a superhero at some point in your life.

Hans Justice, professional bodybuilder.

Hmm I'd say Mr Justice is probably a powerful wizard, but same deal, actually fighting for people, instead of their own self-interest. Like Dr. Strange or Kamen Rider Wizard.

You know what is the worst part of this strip? That no one will ever call Xanthe on her bullshit, at best Tats will only have another "Teehee, kids will be kids am I right?" nonsense.

I'm starting to wonder about this. Even some of the regulars at Tats' Forum aren't comfortable with this development. (And some of them are celebrating as enthusiastically as Xanthe is.) It's conceivable that he's going to teach her a lesson about the virtues of moderation.

Hopefully, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Please don't export drama from their forums to here.

Sorry about that. I tried to post the URL of the image of the comic, but this site's software admonished me for trying to hotlink an image.

But I do think that particular Sunday comic — irrespective of fan drama — raises an interesting question about the integrity of the characters.

This isn't drama. This is mentioning a very salient point.

All right, so Tats didn't forget about Slick's demon half. Now, Slick's gearing up for war against it. All I can say is: about time.

....okay please don't fuck this up Tats.

I do have to wonder who owns the God Shop.

And yes, the cereal names were funny.

Oh you KNOW he's gonna fuck it up. It's Post-Sisterhood Tats. We'll be lucky if they'll be any lube involved in this.

PLEASE don't give him ideas!

UPDATE: Heh. That was a joke. But if there's even the slightest chance that he'd follow through on the idea, I can see why you'd want to delete the speculation.

Finally, some action! It's impossible to NOT have something happen after this.

Holy crap, are we actually gonna see some action from Slick of all people?

All I can say is, make Voltron proud, my boy.

I can't wait for our hopes to be dashed again. This could go so right if it was managed well, but we don't really have much in terms of evidence that it will.

"All right, evil me. It's just you and, well, me now. 4 (5?) years ago, you started making my life an absolute hell and you never stopped. Did you think I'd let you get away with that? Come on, bring it on!"

"Oh be fair now Good me. What I've done to you isn't any worse than the pain that The Sisterhood and Monique have caused you."

"Yeah, but you came before any of them and it's your fault that they all still alienate me even when I'm trying my freaking damndest to better myself as a human being overall! In fact, you're probably why I only got like half a glitter point or something a few months back, aren't you? You Bastard!! You stole my chance at getting a shower of glitter points!"
