Suggested bloody pairing: Bloody Roman.
UPDATE
I had drawn the first row of a comic before I realized the script sucked, so I moved on to the next script. And that’s great, except that the drawings in the second script are really hard. Hopefully it’ll be up Thursday, making Thanksgiving enjoyable for two minutes.

Cylinder-penetrated hairy onigiri with single pig leg is NOT my favorite Pokémon. Because that would be Chichi Ameche.
anyone… anyone but me remember what that’s from? the transcripts have it spelled wrong…
Welcome to chimecho, at the top of Mt. Pyre! We’re surprised you could find it!
…I wonder if anyone will get this.
I’m lost.
Maybe I should go ahead and overexplain it…
Chimecho is a pokemon from generation 3 (the GBA games). If you’re trying to complete your pokedex by collecting at least one of every kind, it’s a really annoying one to get, because it’s only in one very specific place (mt. pyre), very rarely appears there, and is somewhat hard to catch once it finally does appear.
Chimecho is great because in those games it exists purely to piss off completionists, and in every subsequent Pokémon game, it exists! It’s my favorite Pokémon to lie about being my favorite Pokémon.
and Chichi Ameche was the name of Wendy Nespah’s pet fruit bat.
Man, now I feel silly, like I didn’t know about Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.
Just to be clear, I wasn’t trying to make anyone feel that way. The tone of my comments was more “this is kind of obscure, so…”. Like, Chimecho hasn’t been particularly rare since gen 4 introduced its “baby form”. You practically trip over them playing PLA. And…I don’t expect a random, kind of uninteresting pokemon to be something anyone who doesn’t play the games would even recognize at all.
I think not recognizing chimecho is more like failing to recognize, say…the DMV sloths in Zootopia, while not recognizing Pikachu would be more like Mickey or Donald.
It’s all good!
My tone was meant to be “I’m old and out of touch, and I even I know you aren’t talking about important characters.”
Yeah that was obvious sarcasm.
Well you know what Miyamoto said.. a delayed comic is good eventually, a bad comic is placed on a wiki to be bullied by people who think they know better.
I picked a hell of a week to do an episode with complicated (for me) drawings.
Between one of my neighbors being a violent psychopath who tried to beat me up and spending half a day dealing with my wife’s abraded cornea (more to come), it’s pretty shitty right now.
That is definitely a shit-tastic situation. I don’t even have the heart to joke that at least a violent psychopath trying to beat you up is better than a timid meek nice person doing it. Because they’d just be apologizing the whole time and it would take a lot longer..
Damn, I like that idea. Beware the Meek Murderer.
