It’s finally warming up a bit here, for a few days at least (then cold again by Thur). Just warm enough for more freezing rain! Yay! If the buses are cancelled again tomorrow (It’s Sunday night atm)… I may cry. Or actually since I have to work in studio on Mondays (what hell that’s been in the deep freeze, actually having to leave my house?!?) I’ll just leave them with Jim! All day! Ha. Probably at least one will be maimed by the time I get home.
Vote incentive: a cat, a rather unhappy cat (or me driving 45 min to get to the damn studio every Monday)

GIMPY, WAIT!!!!
February 4th, 2019 at 12:13 am
Whoa!! Getting brutal here. What is happening in the third panel, by the way, is that knee or a bite? Also…(I have to…) Shoryuken!!
February 4th, 2019 at 12:16 am
@StoticM This isn’t the first time something brutal happened in this comic. Why does everyone get so surprised when this happens?
February 4th, 2019 at 12:55 am
@StoticM: 1, Pretty sure one of the lionesses grabbed Nerd, most likely as a bargaining chip, 2. yes that’s a knee (the sound effect and comic burst effect under the lion’s stomach are a dead giveaway), and 3: I’d make a witty vg comment back, but I don’t really have one… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Comic’s low-res for anyone else?
February 4th, 2019 at 1:39 am
Quickly, someone put the mask back on before Gimpy has more blood on his hands…paws, or Whatever! Q-Q

Long
live
the king…

Dang, Gimp just Shoryuken-ed a lion.
If the lionesses attempt to use Nerd as bait, I’m expecting Gimp to go Tetsuo on them and just throw them with a look.
February 4th, 2019 at 3:12 am
Everyone assuming the Lionesses grabbed Nerd as Bait.
More like she grabbed Nerd to stop him from interfering. Pretty sure the Lion-o over there also isn’t very gentlemanly to the females either.
Also a Lioness just killed her mate at the Indianapolis Zoo back in October.

Gimpy’s getting fucking metal here. Holy shit!
February 4th, 2019 at 3:46 am
ShennyNerd, yes, the image is incredibly low-res right now, looks like a 60 quality JPEG.

OMG!!my baby is so cruel
February 4th, 2019 at 8:16 am
Man, things just keep getting worse! And still no sign of Evil… This is WAY not good!

What was the Lions name?
It wasn’t Timmy was it?
February 4th, 2019 at 9:40 am
Oooo, I love that pose in the second panel. Though I hope someone can stop Gimpy before he goes TOO far. I have a feeling the guy he is most of the time will have a hard time living with himself if he doesn’t.
February 4th, 2019 at 12:23 pm
Is the original art, or are prints, available for purchase? I recognized Gimp immediately. I used to be him, way back in middle school. I had a major problem with bullies, and when I would snap, I’d go absolutely insane. And Gimp’s rage is exactly what I felt, and his fury is what I would have done, had I not been a slight little nerd. This is such a reflection of that early me. Please Ms. Acton, is it for sale?
February 4th, 2019 at 2:25 pm
I think everyone’s surprised because, despite learning Gimpy’s past, he’s always been the most gentle and caring of the bears. Even to everyone else, including those who know him, to see this side of him is shocking. No one quite knows how to comprehend his rage or pain, including himself. It’s WHY he wears the mask, to hide that aspect from others, and himself.
It’s the kind of brutality that we’ve never seen, because we’ve always seen it in others, but never from him. That’s why it’s so much scarier and shocking. It’s also why it’s so much more emotionally provoking.
I really want to give him a hug, although I want him to put the mask back on first (or at least let him vent to get some of the rage out so it’s a little safer).
February 4th, 2019 at 2:32 pm
OMGOMGOMG!!!!
Houston, I think we have a hostage problem.
@Anon: YAAAAAS!
@Sterling Rodd: I’m not so sure. Gimpy is an angel of vengeance at this point. The lion would’ve killed his friends (like the human he killed), so…fair game. And he willingly “released the gimp.” I think he knew what he was doing. It’s his friends who didn’t realize what was being unleashed. Or us (shiver).

somethings up with the resolution
February 4th, 2019 at 11:44 pm
Hey Alison- check your source file. Looks like it either compressed really hard, or just uploaded funny. The resolution is lower than usual, just scaled up to meet the normal size for comics on this site.
February 5th, 2019 at 5:39 am
I think I got an edit with the right resolution up so hopefully it’s updated for everyone (I had to finagle a bunch before it showed up for me :(
@WordWizard: original art is absolutely for sale (plus I take commissions when I have the time) You can email me for more info: alison@dooomcat.com
February 5th, 2019 at 6:27 am
The beautiful image shows up no problem now.
February 5th, 2019 at 5:55 pm
@admin glomp? very creative sound effects.
February 5th, 2019 at 7:36 pm
Unfortunately, I still see the low res image. Not complaining though, this sheet is a masterpiece any way you look at it. lol
February 6th, 2019 at 8:52 am
Strange! On second look, the low res images only shows on my computer, not my mobile. Seems to just be a client side issue for some of us.
February 6th, 2019 at 12:57 pm
Who here wants to bet the Lionesses want to see the “King” Get his ass whooped?
The lionesses didn’t care for his shitty attitude nor his selfish ways. They didn’t maul Nerdy immediately but they did stop him from interfering.
Nerdy was about to stop Gimp! Lionesses intervened.. What does that say?
They want that bear to kick that lion’s ass!
February 7th, 2019 at 2:02 am
I really doubt Nerd was about to step in. He knows his limits. He’s not going to try and tackle Gimp right now.
February 11th, 2019 at 5:20 am
Oh, I was thinking Nerd might’ve been running to go to Gay and/or Lech. Since Gimpy already hurt Gay in his blind rage, after he’s finished with the lion, he might turn back to Gay and Lech again.

Where’s my update? /suspence
