!Neo New York Chaos Dunk Advisory Warning!
A measured 19.7 megajoule of negative Bball protons have been detected. A chaos dunk is imminent. Find underground shelter immediately. This is not a test.
You know I've had this sneaking suspicion that Mom and Bro are actually Rose and Dave from the future, and same with Jade (Nanna) and John (Grandpa). So what could have actually happened is that John gave Rose the rabbit he got from Dave, and then Rose gave it to her younger self.
However it happened though, I'm pretty sure it's the same bunny and it got into young Rose's hands by some manner of time travel shenanigans. Same oil spill pattern.
derp derp derp^I've had that nagging suspicion since HASS was shown in the Medium.
If the kids are their own parents, then who is John's dad?
I wonder why characters use the same diction even when they're actually speaking (instead of text), now that I think about it...

Same reason why, when they carry stuff around, it goes into an abstract sort of inventory. They're video game characters, and thus all their speech comes out as text.

Heh. That particular conceit of the comic—that it's a video game the reader is playing by entering commands *—is so central and yet so easily overlooked, isn't it? But before Sburb even shows up, they get Hello, [Insert Name Here] and RPG-style fights.
(Also, I think the echeladder is a property of the kids rather than of Sburb, even though there wasn't an opportunity for it to come up beforehand, but the MS Paint Adventures wiki indicates that apparently this viewpoint isn't universal.)

EDIT: And when I say "dangerous" I mean "annoying"

Support stupid freshness, yo.

Indeed.
Oh yeah, at some point I had a bit of Fridge Brilliance about Snowman: the reason they all knew it would destroy the universe if she died is probably due to time shenanigans—Fin saw that everyone and everything's Future Trails ended when hers ended in an alternate timeline, and came back to let everyone know, or something. Though the recap makes it more likely that whatever way in which Snowman "assumed special powers that make her highly inadvisable to kill" made it obvious that that's what she was doing—presumably there's some known mechanism at work, like they saw her stitching herself into spacetime or whatever.
As for the latest updates: so close. Kinda want to make John wearing Mutini on his head riding a jetpack my new avatar, though. (And "FEAR NO ANVIL" is awesome.)

Well, remember that John's Denizin was in a "Palace", and the monster that Dad beat up was very much outside, awake, and wandering around.
And it is a lot of grist that Maplehoof picked up, but I kind of doubt it's the "ultimate cache" of grist. I mean, there was only one Diamond there.

Yes, yes he is.
He is also Earth's greatest warrior.
