Sinfest

Nobody kill-steals from Death.

Okay, so far so good. I can accept a Death Ex Machina, since that's what he does. Let's hope it keeps up.

Well, I guess that answers my question from yesterday about it being too soon to kill 2017!

Surprised that Death didn't kill him. Oh well, might be because eithers time isn't up yet.

Well, that's why the room she's in is completely enclosed (well, was so until Porno Man smashed the glass); it probably has a built-in heating system.

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

Ha, that was a good one. I really like this story line so far. It is actually pretty good.

Optimism is a duty.

DANGIT RED! You've jinxed it!

>> And Prudence ... aren't you cold in that outfit?

> Well, that's why the room she's in is completely enclosed (well, was so until Porno Man smashed the glass); it probably has a built-in heating system.

Yes, that was my point. She's outside now, on a December day in (presumably) North America. We're having a cold winter; she should be covered with goosebumps.

That would be a level of detail Tats generally doesn't go for. Plus, there's so much happening, it's understandable that she'd not notice she's freaking freezing.

Also, you oculd be forgiven for thinking it is still summer-y in Sinfest, going by the general art.

This is not a problem with just Sinfest, mind you. The Dutch Donald Duck comic magazine still has stories running with trees in full green, and there's been barely a wintery story around for ages. Basically, It's Always Spring.

Optimism is a duty.

BDS Man must be turning into a human ice cube.

The flaming he gets from angry feminists must give him warmth.

It's kind of funny. Sufficiently advanced stupidity is like sufficiently advanced science; eventually, you find something you can't solve.

Every time Tats introduces a new hero, the value of Kenya's currency drops due a sudden increase in it's availability.

I don't follow?

Kenya's currency is called the Kenyan Shilling.

Shilling.

.... I get it now. And it's fucking hilarious.

...

Wait a second. Is this skull-drone (which I assume belongs to Death) politely informing her of her demise?

Why didn't any of the other years get this kind of treatment? Wait, don't answer that.

Welcome to Estalia, gentlemen.

Pretty sure 2015 did. At least a polite "Don't Run this time"

Lowering our expectations even more.

...Let her die a horrible, slow, drawn out death for that cringy comeback failure.

Sorry, but I just got a bad case of hate overload from MMXVII's "Muh Feminist agenda" special hour!

I liked it, actually. I don't mind her wanting to go out with a fight at all. I think you guys are being way too negative on this one.

Optimism is a duty.

It's ... irritating. Until now, all of the depictions of the Old Year have been of scrawny, decrepit men who seem to be eighty or ninety years old and ready to keel over and die on their own, without Death's active intervention. Now MMXVII is a woman, and she appears to be a forty-year-old with grey hair — a badass fighter forty-year-old who boasts and makes threats, even though she's been off-stage for the past ten months apparently doing nothing. Golly! You'd almost think that Tats had double standards!

Indeed. It's the blatant double standard and the politics behind it that make it so annoying.

Tats is having his character take credit and crowing victory for a social movement he didn't support or further in any way.

It's just a dick move all around.

He only bought this skull-drone after his last one got trashed during the 2016 Year End shenanigans... or was it when Liberty almost died from Samtron's missiles?

Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.

There's plenty of frail ninety year olds who still act like they could beat up someone a third their age. And this Year HAS shown frailty. Also, I'll remind you she didn't actually win this fight, either. Death just intervened. She was about to be toast.

So how SHOULD she behave, then? What do you want out of this character?

Optimism is a duty.

A little bit rattled at least. An old person maintaining their bravado after nearly getting crushed by a morning star the size of a small car only really works for Mr. Magoo.

Remember, literally every single year before this one were panicky, and desperatly trying to avoid dying. The one who died with the origional XXX was the ONLY one who had anu dignity about the whole thing.

Of course, those were old MEN.
