This page must be one of the most appropriately named so far.

Nice detail with the falling half-chick in panel 6, and the pink one must have serious back problems with that huge double rack. Well done!

I did just watch that video, and I'm almost speechless. I'm trying to decide if that guy was uglier before or after his 'transformation'. That sex scene just made me laugh really really hard. A rotating penis? I guess that's why they call him the driller eh? Terrible..

About the review, good stuff! He's right, people should be reading this right now.

I dig your hypothesis, Science Dude. The future's looking bright. So bright, in fact, that I gotta wear shades.

I need to change my name to Science Dude now don't I? With a picture of me in a shiny white lab coat and -naturally- shades. I'm in the second round for the job interview I had last week so if I get it that will definitely happen..

we might post next week's page on Thursday before we head out. Not sure yet.

I'm sure we'll cope 

Good wrap-up. I'm curious about how the bounty hunter story will link in with the story on earth. He's clearly in it for more than the money for Hreigh..

I also hope Viperelli will come back soon with more awesomeness.

Once we have more, I'm sure we'll be selling some from our website, including signed copies that'll be worth a zillion fucking dollars someday.

This one will definitely be poster by then, hanging on every teenager's bedroom wall when the total 80's revival to the max finally happens..

You said in another post that you do everything at maximum intensity and I sniggered at that, but that photo with the hard copy is an amazing display of rad-ness. Love it!

You should sell signed copies of it at some point..

I'm skint so I can't donate at the moment, I'd probably have to pick a UK charity. May do so later once I have a job (I have an interview tomorrow!)

I'll definitely have a look at the video, for awareness of course..

and hopefully the truth and results will talk for themselves.

I sure hope so but I won't hold my breath.

Part of the polio resurge (especially in Syria) is caused by the civil war up there so people can't get vaccinated. In Pakistan certain religious groups actively discourage people to accept the vaccinations. As for the west, I think people are getting complacent because they've never seen the effects of these diseases. Would anyone refuse a vaccine for ebola, for example, should it spread to western countries? There isn't any unfortunately, but I doubt anyone would be willing to face a 60% mortality rate because someone says vaccines sometimes cause autism.

Haha ageist prick.. 

Seriously though, she may not be up there with the others in the looks department but she's definitely scoring high on the bully scale. None of this crude pushing someone's face into the ice cream cones or letting him do other people's homework. She just casually makes nasty comments in a way that makes Dean and Trent look like amateurs.

By the way, is Trent in college as well? If so then if Joe can do his homework for him he must be some undiscovered genius am I right?

I'll try to be more cheery from now on 

Now when someone tells you that Phil Collins wrote "In the Air Tonight" about a guy he saw who refused to save a drowning victim, it's a simple matter to look it up online and discover that it's complete bullshit.

Was that ever a thing? I know Eminem mentioned it in Stan..

Exactly. One of the best things about our current information age is that it's a lot harder for the general masses to fall into a big panic about nothing. It's certainly not impossible, but it's harder.

I'm not sure about that, bullshitters can write convincing webpages too. Take the anti-vaccination movement, some people still believe vaccines cause autism even though that original claim has been debunked countless times and the researcher who pushed this message shown a fraud with mixed commercial interests. Despite this, there have been recent outbreaks of measles in the western world, simply because people haven't been vaccinated. The same could happen with polio, which is making a comeback in Syria and Pakistan.

Watching the 20/20 report (only two minutes in), I think it's possible that all these 'rituals' took place but that people were inspired by the stories rather than the other way around. Kind of like crop circles..

Wow, I never realised this was such a big issue at the time. Perhaps it wasn't where I'm from.

People actually believed the whole Jezus, Mary and Michael coming down to stop the summoning of Satan thing? Amazing..

Everyone's expressions are well-done on this page: the girls in panel 1, Snaky's concern in panel 5

But the question is: is Snacky concerned about Eddie falling, or is he merely concerned that Eddie is landing on one of the tasty ice cream cones?

He doesn't seem too bothered in panel 7 haha..

What Jessica and I aren't fond of is when a girl in a movie or something does something "badass," and is all painfully sassy about it. It's extra cringe-inducing if she says the words "girl power" at any point.

I hate that as well, although slightly less than young kids beating up adults after two karate lessons, or outsmart them in a stupid way (home alone style). Having said that, I do hope Alex pulls it off, Dean could be one of those whiners who starts crying after being sucker-punched in the face..
