Corpse Run 202: The Five Stages of Turning off the Game
Substitue “work” for “school,” “doctor’s appointment,” etc to fit your particular situation, and I’m sure you’ll feel right at home with this strip.
Oddly enough, I was always the weirdo who left for school/work way before I was required to, cause… well… what if there’s like three hours of traffic? What if a giant jar of mustard rolled over all of the trains and I needed to walk?
It could happen.
So, I mentioned last Monday that I’d try some livestreaming and see how things go. Things went pretty well.
After a suggestion to hook up my mic and talk during the streaming, the whole thing became a neat Q&A while I was doodling. We had a small handful of people present, and it seemed like everyone was chatting and having some fun.
In terms of how livestreams will happen in the future, I’ll have “Next Livestream” dates and times in the sidebar to the left instead of just posting them in the blogs. If for some reason I won’t be able to do the stream, I’ll say so on Twitter.
For the moment, I plan on having two streams this week, Monday and Tuesday, probably at 9pm. So if you wanna watch me doodle and chat and whatnot, come check it out!
Something that I often do when I’m walking around and have my hands full is carry stuff in my mouth. I understand that the act isn’t really the most flattering thing to be doing in public, but hey, I can’t deny its usefulness.
Anyway, I was at the bank depositing a few checks and what have you, and for each check the machine spit out a receipt, which I held temporarily in my mouth while putting in the next check.
After the second check I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and there’s this middle aged woman standing behind me looking annoyed. I figured that she thought I was taking too long and I went back to my business.

I turned around again, and this lady, in the nastiest tone she could muster, said
“You know, it’s unhealthy to hold those papers in your mouth.”
My brows furrowed. What the heck, lady? How on Earth is it your business how I hold stuff? You know what’s unhealthy? Your belief that it’s ok to tell other people what to do or how to live. I said none of this, obviously, as my mouth was pretty full at the time.
So I just stared, confused.
Apparently the lady didn’t even need to use the machine. After gracing me with her presence and gifting me her knowledge, she turned around, walked out of the bank, stood outside, and proceeded to SMOKE A FRIGGIN’ CIGARETTE.
I have no problem with people who smoke, what they do with their bodies is entirely up to them. However, if you’re going to walk around and complain to people about all the “unhealthy” things they do, make sure you take a look in the mirror and analyze your own habits first.
Hadn’t had another strip like the shoddy internet feed on a thunderstorm comic. Creepy face at the end again.
Again, where do you meet all these people?
Creepy face is here to stay! *creepyface*
Where do I meet these people? New York City: the land of wacky, wacky fellas.
Old hypocrite ladies, we have enough of them in the world.
‘Twas a perfect chance to use her exact phrasing against her in a mocking tone. But that’s just me, because I’m a jerk like that.
That reminds me of a day I had last week in class…I had a dude tell me that the vegetarian lifestyle I live is unhealthy… about ten minutes after he’d finished an enormous McDonald’s breakfast platter. I argued him into submission and resisted the urge to slap him. Because really…WHO DOES THAT?!
Best comic you’ve done, and I’ve liked them all. This one is so true to life, especially back in the days of only having save points (Final Fantasy, I’m looking at you). Or for a strategy game like Civ or Total War, ‘Just one more turn, just one more turn!’ while your hands shake and you move your twitching face even closer to the screen in a vain attempt to show that you’re just about ready to quit the game. Half an hour later and it’s intervention time.
