Sinfest

I think he’s being labeled a traitor for helping Uncle Sam.

Might also be that the Wombies remember Slick as one of their own, from the assault on the old folks' home.

Tats is still mad about losing Patreon money so he reacts to it with painting his audience as a bunch of cancel culture obsessed zombies.

You know, like a normal person!

The next strip probably guest stars Stonetoss handing out Mein Kampf on a tricycle

Alas, too plausible.

Two years ago an academic journal published a paper that turned out to be a rewrite of Chapter 12 of Mein Kampf using radical feminist buzzwords.

"Our Struggle is My Struggle: Solidarity Feminism as an Intersectional Reply to Neoliberal and Choice Feminism" was published in Affilia: Journal of Women and Social Work in November of 2019.

And yet all this will just be forgotten the moment Tats decides to jump to another perspective. At the very least he could let this tie into other plot threads.

I am morbidly curious about what will be Tats' next bandwagon, or whatever new bugbear he will acquire. There is apparently a Q Anon civil war brewing, with the many types of crazy becoming obviously incompatible.

Q Anon is not a useful group for building anything. It’s only real tenant is “THEY are keeping secrets and everything is a lie!” That fundamentally cannot organize, because all organization is conspiracy to them, and fundamentally untrustworthy.

It’s good for nothing but mindless destruction.

Been reading some old posts on this forum and I think I want the chance to give Tats some positive feedback for once

Can you still do it Tats?

Can you actually create something decent enough for a little praise?

Nah...this glass isn't just half empty, Tats has drilled holes in the bottom

I'll admit, I was surprised to see that Slick was allowed to accomplish something. (Whether what he did was good or not is another question.)

Admiral Tigelle has posted another classic (IMHO) on r/sinfest — Calvin and Hobbes as Slick and Monique in a certain well-known and justly reviled strip.

Meanwhile, the high caliber of DevilTech security is revealed ...

The villains are just as incompetent as their author!

Well, have any of these idiots ever been punished for failing their jobs? I'm sure this is some subtle dig at incompetent people with job security that never seem to stop being incompetent.

Nice use of different viewing angles from the horizontal plane in ways which actually benefit the strip. See? I managed to find something praiseworthy in today's strip

Methinks Deviltech or Devilcorp needs to shoot their current security consultant with explosive harpoons. They're obviously longterm clinically braindead so it'll be merciful

A single drone squad on night shift with a regular call in to base could have had that place secured with minimum fuss, effort and obtrousiveness.

Throw in a couple of combat bots masquerading as cleaning personnel and you're sorted for, say, anything up to an attack by an armed mob

After all, it's not like something bad happenned last year with a high value member of Devilcorp getting killed after sneaking away from her home to get Devilcorp to re-evaluate it's security arrangements

Considering Lil'Sammy is such a high value target for any number of kooks just by reason of being on TV, such a lack of basic protection is nothing short of criminal negligence

Four panels

First thing he does after escaping from a prison is to go to a prison.

Want to bet it's going to be some sort of ass pull to free some prisoners?

Never seen that storyline in Sinfest before!

Tats is a good artist, and when he can overcome the urge to be lazy brought on by the capabilities of his graphics tablet, that fact is quite evident. But all too often he gives in and clone-stamps out the characters. (And the Brick Wall has ascended to the status of a major cast member.)

The laziness also shows up when he uses one solution to a problem over and over again. How many times has a big-screen television in the window of a store just happened to show something that advanced the plot? He doesn't avoid clichés, either; it's "tie bedsheets together to make a rope and go out the bedroom window" when characters need to escape from a building — whether it's him or her.

I do wonder what Sinfest would be like if a syndicate had picked it up around 2008 or so. With a steady source of income, Tats might have had the opportunity to develop both his artistic skills and his characters' personalities in directions different from the ones they have taken.

. Well, Tex did ask him to set Pumpkin loose. Of course if the Devil's forces were any kind of competent the second Sammy set foot in the prison he'd get rounded up, Slick and crew would be REALLY unpersoned, and this would all go back to status quo.

Given that they aren't, however, I'm betting Sammy makes it all the way to pumpkin, then big destructive sequence to escape. Either that or Pumpkin is so old the Devil doesn't care about her anymore.

Tats' Patreon earnings just hit a new low: $854 per month.

Imagine what his Patreon earnings would be today if Tats hadn't excommunicated his original fan base. I think Sinfest was as popular as Questionable Content was in 2011. Look where Jeph Jacques is now ...

I wonder if Sammy and the Slick Squad are going inside disguised in drag?

Uh oh. Of this keeps up, Tats may have to go out and get a real job.

I mean, I'm sure there are plenty of newspapers that would love to have him as a political cartoonist

Blue confirming that Liberty is a Bastard Girlfriend.

Doesn't DevilCorp have, at an absolute minimum, some type of private security they could use? Even if they're correct that Liberty isn't coming back you'd still think they would take some sort of measures to contain Sam. As it stands it's almost like they want him to escape.
