Is a Prion disease not the scariest thing you can get from eating food?? And apparently infectious proteins are highly resistant to everything we use to kill bacteria and viruses (heat, radiation, disinfectants) so even cooking meat throughly won’t kill them. I was somewhat familiar with the symptoms of ‘mad cow’ before but I looked it up when I was working on this page and I’m joining Crack in his (not so) paranoid fear of spongy brain holes.

Oh and Evil is a sociopath.

Today’s vote image is page 1 from a short comic I did for Popgun vol 4 from Image comics (a highly entertaining anthology series indeed, despite my involvment :) It also happens to co-star my little Kraken that some of you may be familiar with: Victor Jr.

That is true Stomme poes. Thank you for adding on and fixing a bit my post, I was a bit rusty on all the details and since i posted it at roughly 1 am was not interested in re researching it again to edit my post before i submitted it. (and the others just re skimmed the comments)

@ Kitsunekage I subscribe to Terry Pratchett’s saying that, “If you give a man a fire, you warm him for a day. Set a man ON fire and you warm him for the rest of his life.”

In panel four it looks like tanked is gonna cry in response to crack’s statement. look at his right eye, it looks like there’s a tear under it.

I’ve been reading BN from pretty much the start and have loved the heck out of it; I eagerly await each update.

Today (ok, I’m a little late on checking for updates, but it was a crazy weekend). Anyway, today, when I saw Evil’s face in panel 9, I woke my BF up. You see, I run a D&D group with a few friends (including my BF) and one plays a Halfling Bard who has a tendency to want to set things and people and donkeys on fire when he gets angry. That panel is the epitome of my friend’s character.

Alison, may I crop that panel and post it on my Facebook page? (with proper credit and link, of course!) I will understand if you say “no.” :)

@WLP lol I love Pratchett’s books!! Check out Making Money at some point…. I can see Evil now as one of the main characters (Name escapes me) who kept a clown suit in his closet for years….. Food for thought.

Had steak the other day…. I was reminded why I don’t eat steak much. After a few years of my mom’s steaks, which are tough, dry, and chewy for the most part, I can agree to Crack’s statement in the fourth panel….. sad but true…

Evil’s face in the last panel made me happy. :)

Hehe, i agree Evil! Let’s just gouge out Ping Pong’s eyes. Thats TOTALLY normal. Naaaww, isn’t Ping Pong just cute? hmm. reminds me of my evil sister who nearly stabs me every day. Hmm… they MUST be related. :)

Okay, I have three different comments for this page:

1-THIS is why, whenever Crack talks, I always hear the voice of Tweak from South Park! XD

2-Poor Evil. He knows everyone is on the verge of giving him the OK to go crazy, and he’s desperate for the opportunity.

3-Loving Gimp’s quiet annoyance at all the emotions.

Okay, I have four different comments for this page:

4-Yay! I’m officially caught up with this comic! I stared reading a week ago, between working and through a terrible internet connection, and I’m finally up-to-date! :D

Thanks for the extra info on the human variant of Mad Cow guys. The site I was referencing made sure to mention that you can definitely contract Creutzfeldt–Jakob by eating infected human tissue… just in case you were wondering and wanted to practice safe cannibalism or something.
@ Sabrina Flamefoot: You may definitely use that Evil panel on Facebook. :)
