He knew that the moment we left his story and kept turning the pages, we were damned.
FancyShark
oh shit!
Derpbat
Oh, fuck me.
gellaho
A product so shitty, they didn't want to put Dixon's name on it
Gentleman Brendan
Hardy Boys Street Fighter II sprite mod NOW
Chet is E. Honda
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
I think I have a copy of Buck Rodgers: Countdown to Doomsday someplace and Rex Moran would fit in nicely as a sci fi space hero.
Gentleman Brendan
Nancy is chun Li
gellaho
Inexplicable
Gentleman Brendan
Fenton is Dhalsim
Derpbat
There are so many characters who are basically Rex Moran in space.
Derpbat
Who's Bison?
Gentleman Brendan
Whoever blew up Joefrank's gf
Derpbat
Two of the four books in The Dying Earth star someone who is basically Rex Moran, in a world where people are allowed to be smarter than sump pumps.
gellaho
Couldn't think of a K for that acronym?
FancyShark
"Letters are expensive, okay?"
gellaho
I want you to appreciate Paulo for his art
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
PPfffft American teens love crime, wtf.
Derpbat
If we appreciate it, will he stop?
Or will it encourage him?
Gentleman Brendan
K is the worst acronym letter because it's supplemental.
Derpbat
American Turbo Teens Against Criminal Kings.
Gentleman Brendan
we should delete C, it's parked in K's space.
Derpbat
I did it!
I win acronyms!
FancyShark
Aaaand we're already off the rails because the Hardys are part of a larger organization
gellaho
Where should we put the words? Right in the crease? Absolutely
Gentleman Brendan
Punisher creator Gerry Conway
FancyShark
THAT's why his name was so familiar!
Derpbat
No one in their right mind would hire the Hardy Boys to be part of a larger group of crime fighters.
gellaho
Brilliant
Derpbat
That's how you end up exploding.
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
I read that as FLAME DOOM! and got real hyped.
FancyShark
They're in shredded karate gis. This is already insane
Derpbat
Flames of Doom isn't bad, but it does lack the sheer power of FLAME DOOM!
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
Like someone finally decided to kill the Hardy Boys with a burning monster truck rally
Derpbat
No! You fool, that only makes them stronger!
gellaho
I guess the machinery is doing this
Derpbat
There's only one way to defeat the Hardy Boys!
Gentleman Brendan
Break Ultimate Flames Up Challenge of Dooom
Derpbat
Get them interested in teenage girls who don't tolerate their boyfriends nearly dying all the goddamned time.
Or, you know, a gun.
You could also defeat them with a gun.
Two bullets.
FancyShark
We've lost so many Callies to that plan
gellaho
Time to spin
Gentleman Brendan
BLARARGH
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
I like how if you rebranded this it could also be a start to a sweet Double Dragon comic.
Derpbat
So, Hardy Boy characterization is a mess. But I'm pretty sure neither of them is 'the smart one' and 'the one who solves problems with punching'.
gellaho
What a great chapter
FancyShark
The End?
Derpbat
I wonder if that was what they set out to do.
And then they couldn't get the license.
gellaho
Oh, good. Joe's perspective
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
This is a manga so I assume they plan to have Frank and Joe make out?
Derpbat
Man, nothing's ever improved by seeing it from Joe's perspective.
Even Joe would tell you his perspective sucks.
Rachel, Swamp Philosopher
yet in my experience this is what happens if you hang a pair of boys up by the feet
FancyShark
oh hey, they got Robot Frank's personality down
Rachel, Swamp Philosopher
don't ask
gellaho
I guess I skipped the zombie adventure
Derpbat
When did...
hair?
That not.
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
That pink sleeveless hoodie is pretty cool tho.
FancyShark
"Zombie crawl scam"?
Derpbat
That pink sleeveless hoodie is almost too cool for normal Joe.
Rachel, Swamp Philosopher
That bird looks very upset at making a cameo
FancyShark
I think Conway is trying to tank this
Derpbat
I will admit that I do like they remember Frank has a parrot.
Rachel, Swamp Philosopher
Bawk! Polly didn't sign a waiver!
FancyShark
He does?
gellaho
Just human bodies moving normally
Derpbat
I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned before.
Like, it's been 20 or so years since I read them, but I'm almost certain Frank had a parrot in the originals.
gellaho
Just like people move
FancyShark
That bird's gotta be dead by now
Gentleman Brendan
So glad I scrolled up before I earned a scoop.
gellaho
Also, why's it called "Break-Up" if siblings compete?
Gentleman Brendan
There's only one bed in that room.
Derpbat
...holy shit, in the originals the parrot had a fucking rad backstory.
FancyShark
Siblings like Clown Man and Redhead Lady
Derpbat
https://hardyboys.fandom.com/wiki/Playback
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
Because Joe and Frank are single.
Gentleman Brendan
I dunno, porn sites have taught me 80% of you are all trying to get at your family.

Deadly Wipeout
Gentleman Brendan
The other 20% like family guy tequila bibles
Derpbat
What sport was that meant to be?>
FancyShark
Wipeout
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
So its Ninja Warrior but for siblings.
Gentleman Brendan
I'm just over here watching amateur homemade like a DECENT CHRISTIAN

Gentleman Brendan
Double redheads!
Derpbat
So... Misty, evil Misty, old guy, and...
Secret agent Chinese woman.
Gentleman Brendan
that's an instant bingo
Derpbat
Nah, seriously, that's Lois Lane.
FancyShark
The Roberta Twins worked very hard on that name
Derpbat
Also, I feel like this is racist.
FancyShark
Linda Hunt is much shorter than that
Derpbat
Mike Wallaby?
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
"Mike Wallaby, because Guy Australia was busy."
gellaho
Joe's hair is unacceptable
Derpbat
Oh, man, Joe's haircut looks even worse from this angle.
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
Joe just finished FF7 and GODDAM did it resonate with him.
FancyShark
Guess we know which video game the artist likes
Derpbat
Out of all the possible characters they could have given incredibly stupid hair to, why did they choose the one we're going to look at the most?
gellaho
Most unrealistic thing is the parents being around and/or concerned
Rachel, Swamp Philosopher
Fucking anime
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
THEY HAVE PARENTS?!
Derpbat
Okay, so, I hope everyone has their minor introduced character is the villain bingo cards ready!
gellaho
Fenton's at least mentioned usually
Derpbat
Please mark your choices now, and when the obvious twist is revealed we'll see who's right.
gellaho
The only time the mom has really showed up was when her clone got murdered
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
And.......is one of those women their aunt or is Fenton in a polyamorous relationship?!
gellaho
Aunt
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
But its Manga Hardy, so it could still be what I said.
gellaho
Duh
Derpbat
Look, the hospital is the safest place for this guy.
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
Yeah why would you not be proud of injuring teens?!
Derpbat
That's the only place they'll find a cure for whatever shrank his right arm.
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
It worked really well for Action Park.
gellaho
Fenton looking real rough
Derpbat
Wait, he thinks Frank will do what?
Rachel, Swamp Philosopher
huh
FancyShark
Fenton "Squished Jack Nicholson" Hardy
Rachel, Swamp Philosopher
What species is Fenton?
FancyShark
Pencil eraser
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
Lol Manga Fenton too busy thinking about stuffing his sister wives gyoza to think about which of his sons is responsible.
Derpbat
It's never made clear but I think he's some sort of gingko.
Gentleman Brendan
Would i be right in guessing this is 2005 material?
Derpbat
The whole point of the Hardy Boys in the 90s is that neither of them is responsible.
gellaho
CHET!
Derpbat
Hi, Chet.
FancyShark
CHET!
gellaho
2011
Derpbat
...Chet looks the exact same size as the two Hardies.
Gentleman Brendan
I like fat Chet better than this nurock pear-bod dumpster Chet
Derpbat
Exactly the same size.
And they're still fatshaming him!
gellaho
Buh
Derpbat
THIS IS WHY HE DOES THIS STUFF TO HIMSELF!
Oh, Chet, my boy, what have they done to you?
Gentleman Brendan
If you love food and you're fat, chase your dreams, bubby. If you're just the tambourinist from Smashmouth, get the hell off my lawn.
FancyShark
He better double in size when he fights serious
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
Man they really did Chet dirty
LyraV
Why does he look like he stuck his finger in a light socket?
FancyShark
They always do
gellaho
I am the producer
Gentleman Brendan
Chet is our favorite Hardy character
Always comes out the class act.
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
Is he supposed to look like he's in Smash Mouth tho?
Rachel, Swamp Philosopher
Why does he look so happy about it?
Derpbat
No.
Rachel, Swamp Philosopher
Chet welcomes death baby!
Derpbat
Chet is fat.
FancyShark
Chet is a hero
Derpbat
It's literally his only defining characteristic.
gellaho
Such a majestic spread
Derpbat
Like, Chet is a large, round individual who cheerfully engages in personally dangerous activities for the sake of his friendship with
FancyShark
The place is haunted
gellaho
Look at all the lack of detail
Derpbat
I can't remember which one of them he's friends with.
I don't know if Chet remembers, either.
All that head trauma's probably erased most of his childhood memories by now.
FancyShark
He's friends with everyone, but only the Hardys acknowledge it. It's bullshit
gellaho
Religious groups famously hated stunt gameshows
Derpbat
I think Chet is in Frank's grade?
FancyShark
Welp, there's the villain
Derpbat
Yeah, that's... that's probably the villain.
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
I mean religious guy isnt WRONG but he can still fuck off.
gellaho
This makes me deeply uncomfortable
Derpbat
JOE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WEAR A FUNKING HAT YOU FUNKING FUNKER.
Rachel, Swamp Philosopher
what? Gameshows arent women or gays
Derpbat
YOU ARE AN OBSCENITY
Okay. Okay. I'm calm. I've got it.
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
God what is up with this poor girl?!
Gentleman Brendan
This is the most controversial Hardy boys we've ever done, and most of them have an Ethnic who talk like DEESE
Derpbat
I dated her in what you Yanks would call middle school.
She was fun.
I think she went into politics.
gellaho
Bad Paulo, bad
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
Also Im almost sure its illegal for Frank and Joe to be anywhere that close to redheaded twin gymnasts.
LyraV
🎵 laaaaaaaaaaa🎵
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
Goddam tho those girls are fucking BUILT
Derpbat
No, that's about par for Joe.
Joe gives off this aura that tells women they don't want to be involved with him in any way.
At least in the regular books.
gellaho
Next page, inexplicable destruction
Derpbat
Here it's that funking hair cut.
Gentleman Brendan
I can tell you of a fact no matter how equitably you try to write your characters even the best artists will make the women AWHOOOOGA
Rachel, Swamp Philosopher
The haircut is cute but the fact that he emotes at either 0% or 150% is a big problem
gellaho
Watch out, Chet!
Derpbat
Chet, you are about to be eaten by a shark.
You will be missed.
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
OH SHIT THAT PRODUCER HAS A KNIFE!
Derpbat

Gentleman Brendan
Also that lazy artist flipped the same drawing and changed three details
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
CAn we get some Chet Boys Adventures?

Derpbat
Left to his own devices Chet lives a very happy life going to the kitchen and then to the table and then to the kitchen and then to the table.

Derpbat
We were serious, his character trait is 'he likes food'.
FancyShark
Kids getting killed by scaffolding is great TV?
Derpbat
There is no market for Chet Boys adventures.
gellaho
"Smudge"
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
Producer lady aint wrong tho, I would watch the shit out of Joe and Frank getting smushed by scaffolding.
Gentleman Brendan
Jakesy my man, strap in, and let me tell you the ballad of Rex Moran: Chet Impersonator
Rachel, Swamp Philosopher
Okay so we do get accurate representation for reality tv producers
Derpbat
That woman fucks.
Which in a 90s Hardy Boys story means she's probably evil.

Derpbat
All jokes aside, Chet is usually like 200% too sweet and generous to go super saiyan.
Rachel, Swamp Philosopher
Nvm
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
Man they keep trying to set up Joe and Frank as being somewhat antagonistic but I just can't buy in to the idea they have emotions.
Gentleman Brendan
This is the biggest serving of Chet we've ever gotten, and I'm around to see it develop.
gellaho
I don't need horny Chet
gellaho
Or horny Paulo
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
SHE KEEPS MAKING THIS FACE!
Derpbat
I don't think Chet's being horny, I think he's trying to keep Frank from meddling with the machines.
FancyShark
That blonde girl is a mandragora, right?
Derpbat
Chet knows his Hardies by now.

Thanks for the "then" and "now." Otherwise I'd be so confused because my memory is so short
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
The main difference between Labrador Girl and the twins is the twins are muscled like fucking pitbulls and are also mean little bitches.
FancyShark
Girls mocking the bodies of girls drawn the same way as them is pretty standard anime
Derpbat
Everything for Frank is teamwork?
Rachel, Swamp Philosopher
... she's from Labrador?
Derpbat
...Frank?

THE INSURANCE MONEY
Gentleman Brendan
I know the labrador joke got made, but I feel the hairstyle distinguishes this joke from that one
FancyShark
IT'S ALWAYS THE INSURANCE MONEY!
Derpbat
Honestly, I'm amazed it took them this long to commit an actual crime.
It's been what, ten pages?
In comic pages. So that's like 50 book pages, give or take?
By now they should really have already committed three crimes.
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
And Yah, my dude. Shows require a bunch of insurance.
gellaho
The guy on the left is not impressed by the rollerskate ring of death
Rachel, Swamp Philosopher
oh are we calling the girl a Labrador like a golden lab, the dog?

Well she's optimistic enough to be canadian, too.
FancyShark
He's seen some shit
Derpbat
Chet is responding to danger the way he normally responds to danger.
Rachel, Swamp Philosopher
Nevermind, you don't want to know what I think about that
Derpbat
I really like how they've finally gotten Chet down.
gellaho
Rachel, Swamp Philosopher
Just know I have bought a collar and leash for a blonde from Labrador
Karate Physics Flippant Sausage
Roller Derby is cool enough to not really NEED murdering teens but its not an unwelcome garnish.

They've failed to understand the Hardy Brothers. Fenton. Their aunt. the mother whose name I forget.

You need more than motive to prove someone's committed a crime?

One of these boys is giving his brother a talking to, and one is preparing to karate.

at best, that's electricity that knocked them unconscious
Derpbat
I'm pretty sure for all their many, many, many, many, many, many faults across all continuities, no one until now ever had them decide to start punching each other.
So, that's something new.
