Juho

Wait that was supposed to be sweat? I thought it was intermittent facial deformities.

gellaho

Let's have George do all the talking but be the smallest part of the frame

Badgerman

It really looks like George is just stealing a police car there

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Sho you are never going to draw for Shonen Jump with panels like this.

gellaho

This Slight of Dan seems like a much better story

Agent of Fortune

eff the police

there is way too much text crammed into each of these panels

I know that's a relatively small crime but

gellaho

Sho struggles to draw a rope

Badgerman

Rummage on the rope, in the immortal words of Mario Corelli

gellaho

Sho struggles to illustrate daylight

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

"Yeah whatever, that's a prop sword."

Badgerman

Hahaha fuck you Sho that's a can opener that you gussied up and thought no one would notice

gellaho

Nancy Drew is an idiot

Agent of Fortune

everybody in this really needs to unclench their shoulders

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Also in this situation wouldn the best thing to do be get a breaching charge and blow thru a wall? Surely Gregor didnt line his whole damn house with steel plates.

Badgerman

Heck, just get an axe

gellaho

Slish

Badgerman

Going to great lengths to conceal the identity of this assailant who we already know the identity of

gellaho

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT NAME

Badgerman

Pretty sure your true name is only sorcery if you're a demon or something

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Nancy you are kind of an idiot for thinking you can reason with someone who thinks vampires are real.

gellaho

The Sun decided to descend upon Earth

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Garina probably has "vampire" and "communist" confused as well.

Badgerman

"No one wants to hurt you!" Right before getting flashbanged has gotta feel great

gellaho

Bess teleports through the wall

gellaho

Hmmm

George chooses a perfectly natural pose

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

George breaks into interpretive dance, overwhelmed by emotion.

Badgerman

Hahah T posing to assert dominance

gellaho

Nancy ushers her friends away immediately

gellaho

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Nancy........why do you even date Ned?

gellaho

Whoever owned this really didn't like whatever happened here

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

PRAISE OODY OUD!

Badgerman

How much you wanna bet it was an unprompted kiss

gellaho

The comic becomes very mysterious

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Or they REALLY liked it and cut it out for their Nancy Drew Manga Scrapbook.

Badgerman

Ned's spider sense is tingling!

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

"Huh.......This feels like getting cucked but I'm not wearing the outfit."

gellaho

No? No. No!!

Badgerman

He deserved it!

But he didn't.

gellaho

Nancy escapes to the Rainbow Dimension

Badgerman

Took the Bifrost back to Midgard

gellaho

OK, but why would the psychiatrist do that?

Badgerman

Weird that we're squishing all this falling action exposition into the space of two text boxes but there hasn't been a single not weird decision in this whole book

gellaho

Time to put all the plot in the last two pages

gellaho

That is one big margarita

Badgerman

Who would want to brainwash Garina to hurt Gregor?!?!

Eh, it didn't really matter anyway, who cares

gellaho

I guess the exciting conclusion is in the crossover

Badgerman

Hahaha fuck you PapercutZ

gellaho

Which the editor (SPOILER ALERT) is very excited about

gellaho

SPOILER ALERT!

Horse Boxing Flippant Sausage

Papercutz, because reading is sometimes painful.

Badgerman

God, it's like I'm a decade younger and skimming the cringy as shit authors notes at the end of a fanfic chapter again

gellaho

And it ends with a preview of the Smurfs. Have you heard the word smurf? It's all you need for comedy!

Badgerman

WE MARCH FOR MACRAGGEwait wrong smurfs

gellaho

I can't believe there's so much of this.

Badgerman

The garbage sluice is always open
