Tats always manages to undershoot the very low expectations I already have.

For maximum disillusionment remember that the zombies are supposed to be normal looking men.

Because apparently the Pimp would have kept his bargain had they not arrived...

Ah. Torn apart by zombie horde.

Had it been any other writer, I'd applaud them for killing off a pimp. Because it's Tats though, there's that underlying theme of "men are evil" that just ruins any enjoyment I'd get out of this. Like finding out that a guy who ran a dog fighting ring was found murdered, but the guy who killed him was a racist who's main motivation was the Ring owner's skin color.

They are probably going to save the pimp.

Can't have a single thing change whatsoever. Tats would have no story lines left!

I think that they are going to fight over who saves him, and the added weight droos them all into hell.

Perhaps they'll either kill him or drop him into Hell ... and he'll come back as DevilPimp! Now with MORE EVIL!

And if the Johnbies tear him to pieces, I can just imagine Milton saying ...

"We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him eviler than he was. Eviler, nastier, pimpier!"

All of them collapsing into hell would be a neat way to round up that arc, if Tats is going for that.

The pimp getting accidentally torn apart by an overeager zombie horde fighting over who will save him would be a great gag, actually.

Also, Devil Pimp sounds like a fun idea, too. He could have a pimp fight with the actual Devil, who is also a pimp canonically.

Optimism is a duty.

I think it was supposed to be dramatically climatic, but just ended up feeling random. I guess they are going to kill him off for real, so the girls will be out of debt for sure.

... huh.

So basically he got killed by a bunch of men instead.

I can't help but compare what Tats wants to be a big, dramatic, meaningful death scene to the actually big, dramatic, and meaningful death scene in RWBY that I watched just now.

You may wanna brush up on how to kill a character off, Tats.

Just a suggestion.

I have to hand it to Tats — he defied my expectations. I anticipated a trite, predictable storyline. Instead he gave us an astonishingly stupid and illogical one.

Well played, sir!

[up]Sorry to say it, Hex ol' buddy, but pretty much everyone else foresaw that he'd wuss out and have the johnbie quck him up rather than have one of his precious, precious females lift a finger to win.

Seriously, the bad guys in Sinfest dropped down yet another notch... now they're as dangerous as the Shmoos (if you remember, a Shmoo drops dead, ready to be eaten, if you stare at it hungrily - and Sinfest's bad guys drop down defeated if a female basically looks at them disapprovingly)

I was going to post the "disappointed" clip from Hercules for this strip, but upon further reflection, I have deemed it unworthy of his presence.

He's not really dead. Not until I see a body.

Even if he is wounded Milton is just going to build him into Robopimp.

This is going to be the same fake out as Maverick shooting Slick. Tats is too much of a coward to do something big like killing off a character.

I think you guyus are being a little too harsh. There's nothing wrong with this ending, really. And the hooker DID get the pimp to cancel everyone's debt, so she DID win, after all. Who cares who gave the pimp the final push into hell?

Tats also wrapped up this whole thing within the month, which is quite speedy for his usual storytelling habits.

I suspect Tats has gotten tired of his own idea of men as literal zombies, and this is a neat way to put that idea to rest, if anything.
