I love the panel in which DE pulls the gun back from Andrus’ head when he finds out Andrus knows nothing about Cura. This is my favorite comic. Although, calling this a comic is really a sacrilege. Kudos to Neal and Dex for one of the best stories being told in print (and ink :)) today.
As it is way too early in the morning, and my brain is too tired to articulate anything as insightful as the awesome people above me have, I’ll offer instead this really random thought that popped into my head:
Do you think any of the Dark Everett’s minions have ever felt tempted to throw popcorn at the Dark Everett’s face while he’s sleeping and try to get some in the hole where his nose used to be? I think that would probably take the prize for most absurd method of suicide in the multiverse.
Well, that explains why Andrus is so calm. As far as he’s concerned, his death was about to happen and here comes another guy to do it for him. Incidentally, popcorn in the nose hole might the most absurd method of suicide, but it’s got a nice ring to it, don’tcha think?
Typo now fixed! You, sir, have the credit of finding the first live typo on Cura! Congrats! Now don’t take this wrong, but I hope it never happens again. 😉
Actually…..this would be the second live typo, the first being the legendary “there’s Squirt, there he isn’t” from (I believe) ‘The Restaurant At The End Of The Universe’ (or a similarly HG2TG reference title LOL) but technically you caught it before anyone actually noticed IIRC 😉
Would it be too much to surmise that since we see DE taking care of his business solo, that this encounter with neo-Andrus is before he acquired the Nega-Scoobies, or much like the Charlie he’s telling this story to, he feels this one can be handled without the team?
There is (unless I change the order for some story reason as it unfolds) one member of Nosce Te Ipsum other than Andrus at this point in DE’s timeline, though I shan’t say who.
DE acts alone often, actually… He brings in the team when he has to. They have their… duties, let’s say?
Okay, I gotta admit it–
Every time I look at DE’s nose-hole I see a clown nose instead, and it takes me a while to remember what’s really there. So imagine he has a clown nose on all of these pages, even when he is trying to be serious and dramatic.
It can make it hard to take him seriously. http://webgel.net/bf/Its_Always_The_Evil_Clown.png
I agree, from certain angles it really does! Last update I was thinking the same thing, but then had to dial it back because I thought I may be the only person who thought so….If I were DE, I’d probably take that up and actually put one on, I mean, how seriously would you take someone who looked just like you holding a gun to you with a red clown nose on? LOL
Considering his dark sense of humor, I think he’d at least think about it 😉
Just clicked the link at the end of your comment…..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Was going to say maybe when Lord BaileyMort gets around to colorizing this part, we could see a gag page with the nose, but it seems you already took care of that LOL
I was going to reply to that with some terrible terrible clown puns, but then I realized I had sat here for the past 20 minutes without thinking of any good ones. (Can terrible clown puns be ‘good’?) Either way, makes me glad I stuck to the nose!
Am I the only one who heard “I Am The Walrus”? LOL
I mean, we have seen the Beatles already, so why not?
I leave it to someone else to pull the reference, I got to close up shop and go to bed cuz I gotta work in the morning 🙂
And this story so far does definitely have my interest 😉
There is a typo. In the first panel, it should be “why” and not “whe.”
And Lord BaileyMort’s fear of a live typo, thought realized two updates ago, occurs anyway LOL
“If you want to hang with me, first thing you’re gonna have to do is change your wardrobe. How do you feel about top hats?”
And now you know the rest of the story.
Top hats are glorious.

Thank you so much! Very flattering. I am grateful.
Much thanks.
Good catch! I will fix it shortly.

The Dark Everett would get his revenge when next he sneezed.

First typo, second error, heh… But either way, I will never cease being mortified, heh. That’s the good part about digital… I can fix it!
Whoo! Now to celebrate like The Nerd and Hank did in that (in)famous universe lol

OK, let’s leave it mysterious then LOL

Ah thank goodness, I was worried I was the only one! Ha ha ha. I wonder what the authors think of my little gag here…
And to be fair, I kind of dialed it back. I was tempted to replace parts of his dialogue with clown puns.
You just know that DE would be all about the clown puns. That’s totally in character for him.
I’m just glad that I’m not the only one who has really random thoughts about the Dark Everett’s (lack of) nose.
