Once again, the implanted Demon of a man screws him over and he gets the blame. You know Tats. When you make a person do something horrible while Possessed.....it's not their fault, right. They were not in control, therefor it was not them. So good job inadvertiedly absolving Sam and Slick of their guilt that you think they should have.

Sullen, judgmental glare. Yes, that's the way to communicate!

It occurs to me that if Kreeptonite is so common in Festerville that kids (?) can buy it in supermarkets, then ... why didn't Liberty buy some and use it on Sam?

Because that requires her taking the initiative to fix her problems. Instead of expecting Sam to change.

While not actually telling him how he should change and then getting indignant because he hasn't changed.

You forget that the story of most of this is that men are the root of all the worlds problems, a man with pride in himself, or just believing he had no part in anothers suffering is not an "ally" to women. The men are to be looking to the ground in shame of their race and selves, UNLESS the race is a minority.

Well..... I guess it's better than last week's sunday strip?

That's a really low bar, but..... about I all I can really say here.

Do we have a trope for this, if not, we need one.

IF the pile of skulls in last Sunday's comic was intended to represent genocide of Native Americans by Native Americans, then I think I prefer that one in terms of both content and execution. If it was intended to convey a message of "Look at all the poor innocent Indians killed by the Evil White Man," then I prefer the current one; at least it marginally advances the story.

Hey, Tats! Does Ms. Liberty ever concern herself with other countries? Has she ever been upset by the Soviet gulags, Boko Haram and Daesh, the Holodomor, the Nanking Massacre, or the Cambodian genocide?

of course not. America is the only tyranny in the world in tats mind.

And while I'm asking questions ... Whatever happened to Ms. Bondage and Ms. Domination? After Sam was knocked unconscious, why didn't they try to give him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation?

of course not. America is the only tyranny in the world in tats mind.

It would be amusing if Marianne were to come over from France, bitch-slap Ms. Liberty, and tell her "Grow up, you naïve child!"

So Death had no purpose whatsoever in this story.

Laaaaaame.

How is that policeman able to touch the Grim Reaper and have nothing happen to him?

As for the rest of the comic, I'm just going to quote myself from a few pages back:

Ha ha! You were WRONG!

She inexplicably got better first, and then she put the crown on her head! Your scenario made too much sense.

(Sorry! I couldn't resist!)

I'd also have Britannia chime in as well. In a "I am disappoint" kinda way.

The idea of Ozymandias was that it was written on a statue in his honor, in the middle of a desert with nothing but ruins in his wake.

If you would have taken 5 seconds to think, a better example of this would be "Nero fiddled while Rome burned."

Edit: Though in retrospect if you are talking about your accomplishments with this comic since your political influences did a 540* degree turn, then yes this quote is exactly whats going on in your comic, lot of pomp and no circumstance.

...

I think Watchmen had better Ozymandias metaphors than this.

I dunno, this seems pretentious even for Tats.

No, Tats — if you want a classical allusion, try:

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time ...

... full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I used that a month or two back.... Still it fits this comic Perfectly. Hell I think Tats has officially reached Chris-Chan Levels of stupid.

Yes Tats we do indeed look upon your works and despair

I don't. Doing so would give him validation. Instead I just mock him.

Tats, the last time you used something like this, specifically the Motto of The Sisterhood on that sexy statue of Justice that I'm STILL convinced that Xanthe is married to, you fucked it up so badly simply by virtue of not getting the actual message or the story behind it. Thus, it surprises me not at all that you fucked up another one.

First of all, much like with Poor Slick, Sam was not in control when all this was happening. You have spent months and MONTHS showing that the Devil, quite literally, DID make them do it. They have no real control whatsoever with the whole thing. Blaming them for what their Devil does is like blaming a person with Dissociative Identity Disorder for things their other selves do, with the added bonus in that there's no way to fake the Devil sides.

Secondly, for all the blame you've attempted to shovel onto Sam with the condition of that city, Sam had nothing to do with it until VERY recently. Blaming the full state of affairs there would be like blaming Obama for the Iraq war.

In summary Tats, I don't despair when I look upon your works. I just pity you. You had such a great thing, but then you discovered Tumblr's unique brand of madness and destroyed it all out of pure shame for having been born with a dick.

Play me off for today lads.

Mary Shelley is spinning in her grave.

I expect the poor woman will tunnel through and pop out on the opposite side of the planet any moment now.

Given Ozymandias is one of my favorite literary works ever..... I am probably best served by saying less here.

Mi..mind if I add that to the Reason you Suck Speech page?
