Brendan

He just biked around till he wanted to come home! He defeated nothing!

gellaho
Brendan

He defeated...my god.

He defeated US.

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

I'll miss all the memorable characters like

Brendan

The Sirota gazes also.

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

Jack was there

The cat milf who I don't think got a name

HeyitsTom

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

Good for her

HeyitsTom

it was like "hormona" or something

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

Good job Mike

HeyitsTom

"sex person"

Less good job, Mike

Brendan

Live Free, Die Hardy

gellaho

This is already off to a bad start

Brendan

The Larpy Brothers

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

HeyitsTom

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

I'm just going to reuse the same bingo card

gellaho
MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO
MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

Come on Hardys

HeyitsTom

gellaho
gellaho
gellaho

Mouths are hard

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

Before I start making jokes how old are the hardy boys in this

roughly

HeyitsTom

joe is 18 and his little brother frank is 18

gellaho

Frank is 18,Joe is 17

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

Fuck off Joe you're making this dangerous

HeyitsTom

I was close

gellaho

But it's bold to assume the Brazilian madman who drew this knows that

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

Is this the same brazilian madman as the megaman?

gellaho

Somehow, yes

HeyitsTom

incest megaman to be clear?

Brendan

Technically possible. Joe is plainly the one who never got breastfed

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

FUCK YES

gellaho

He had an interview in one of the other issues

HeyitsTom

so they have a whole stable of IPs where they just never knew anything about the source material?

Ecto

That would be a step forward

gellaho

Frank plays on his very realistic desk

Brendan

This is a real long walk to The Hardy Brothers were playing video games.

HeyitsTom

genuinely did not think it would cut to a video game screen

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

It's a LAPtop you can't put it on a desk, beb

gellaho

While Joe has no idea how to use a phone

Brendan

LARPtop

gellaho

Don't ask me why there's a produce sticker in here, that's how it came

HeyitsTom

someone was having a halthy snack while they read

Brendan

Kids are gonna open this book, see, and they're gonna be like, "Whuhhhh?? There are monsters in this book? I thought it was about two boring clods!" Then we've GOT 'em!

HeyitsTom

and put the sticker with the rest of the garbage

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

Because this book is delicious

Brendan

I recognize that code. This book is a real lemon.

gellaho

This is how video games do

Brendan

My brother's ego prohibits his sprite from doing a basic special move.

gellaho

Frank's model is glitching

gellaho

Oh, no

gellaho

Ugh

gellaho

Unacceptable

GDC

This is definitely how world of Warcraft works.

She boobily breasted her opponent's computers.

gellaho

Expressions are hard to draw

GDC

You can't just paste random anime faces into your comic and expect it to work.

gellaho

Her cyber-address

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

What a beautiful idiot language

HeyitsTom

you could say we're cyber stalking her

gellaho

Helicopter drawn already crashing

Brendan

Cut off your right digital breast, you cowardess.

GDC

She's a cyber Amazon!

Brendan

...They're already there?

gellaho

Rich dialog

gellaho

Jeeeeesus

GDC

I wish games had mechanics that allowed for this bullshit

Brendan

Who's got money these idiots used their personal computers instead of dumpware with VMs running?

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

One idiot was using his personal phone

gellaho

Giving her pimples, very nice

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

because this is a multiplatform game the likes of which- oh it's league

Is A.T.A.C. deputized in any way

gellaho

Full half a page for this

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

or is this just going to be a citizen's complaint

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

You gotta hit that page count somehow

HeyitsTom

either way it's definitely a great acronym to scream aggressively while pounding on a lone young woman's door

gellaho

Computersfor

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

This is an abduction

gellaho

Hard disagree, Joe

HeyitsTom

"you wouldn't have heard of us" just straight up admitting they're using fake credentials to imprison this girl

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

This child is getting blackbagged right now

hady's theres a horrific crime being comitted right now

gellaho

Don't worry about that, it's over!

HeyitsTom

GDC

Nah, she's getting a job offer from the NSA. She'll make more in a year than the Hardy's will see in their life

gellaho
gellaho
Brendan

Goddammit, Scott Lobdell can sexually harass you for years and still book work with lines like this, and I can't even sell an 8-page story .

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

They're dead inside

Brendan

What's the opposite of envy but you land at the same place?

Jealousy?

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

They know what happened to that girl

gellaho

So, that was chapter two. Onto chapter three

Brendan

If you've got breath to banter, you're both taking last place.

HeyitsTom

that incentivizes you to take down fewer bad guys

learn game theory, idiot

gellaho

Respect trash, says Joe

Brendan

This is the worst Hardy Book we've ever suffered.

Name anything that even makes this a basic Hardy story.

gellaho

No, those comics from 2018 and 2020 that took themselves incredibly seriously were worse

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

This is the best Hardy Book I've ever seen

gellaho

And that book about Franklin W Dixon fucking Carolyn Keene in 1920s France was way worse

HeyitsTom

I'm gonna have to read through the book cage archives someday

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

gellaho

These grown adults are terrified of these teens

HeyitsTom

ok I guess that moves the story along

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

I KNEW ATAC WAS EVIL

I am a master sleuth

gellaho

Trust me, I don't have time to get into that mess https://gellaho.com/book_archives/97-mystery-box

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

I'm so happy this exists

gellaho

A great use of space

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

"We're killing your dad, boys. He knows what he did."

gellaho

An even better use of space!

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

it's to keep it discrete

HeyitsTom

wow this shot really establishes the dread and isolation

Brendan

Fenton is being held in Iowa. This is what it looks like

GDC

Good use of space, bad use of paper.

gellaho
gellaho

Oh shit this is going to be And Then There Were None

Mordred Dances with Werewoofs

Interrupting to say I saw a ton of old Tom Swift books in the used section of my local bookstore today. Carry on.

This dude somehow managed to get a sunburn on the way here

Brendan

Prison corn only grows three inches high

Brendan

What did we ever do to YOU?

Mordred Dances with Werewoofs

I didn't even take a photo

I did consider it

gellaho

Really went all out on the graphic design

Mordred Dances with Werewoofs

No graphics at all, I smell a rat

gellaho

Impressive that Fenton was able to say a squiggle

Mordred Dances with Werewoofs

I didn't order a metric ton of sausage either

HeyitsTom

gellaho

Chapter Four: Titties and Skin tight clothing in this book for children

gellaho

And, I would like to say, an unacceptable amount of thought went into those crotches

HeyitsTom

oh no it's taki from soul calibur

👽 oeblis goblin Mo

bah, skintight titties is normal media for a kid these days. The crotch-accentuating crotch-plates, I'm not sure.

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

Most of the thought

It's the lines leading to them

gellaho

Action Fenton Hardy

👽 oeblis goblin Mo

the fact that they're so particularly low-slung

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

That's really a problem, because the artist really clearly said "these are panties"

👽 oeblis goblin Mo

damn Fenton, you fly?

HeyitsTom

oh wow yeah those are micro-bikinis

👽 oeblis goblin Mo

right, if they had any veneer of protection they probably would start higher and not explicitly wrap down the taint

gellaho

Action Fenton is Foiled

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

FACEKICK

👽 oeblis goblin Mo

damn, dude

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

Either they're awesome or Fenton sucks

Possibly both

Meanwhile, Frank Hardy, completely unaware of the situation, decides to hack the security system for no reason

Brendan

Yeah, Fenton, bait that teenage G-string crotch gun kitten.

gellaho

And now the Hardy Boys are Spiderman

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

I just want one Hardy Boys where they get shot by a henchman

Joe has to finish it alone because Frank decided to bum rush an m4

gellaho

That's more Joe's, modus operandi

Brendan

OWES YOU A GRAVE

gellaho

But he's immortal, so it works out

MUCH MORE PENETRATION VELO

Yeah he's a minor so he can't die

Brendan

gellaho

"I've met your father, he's exactly like me, but with a mustache"
