boy if this isn’t the only time the WHAT’S THAT BEHIND YOU thing could possibly work. On a child. Finally, someone on Dr. Schtein’s level.

gosh, Schtein, maybe one day you’ll understand why you don’t have a dad either :D
(he’s such a wankstain, it’s great)
Oh dang. I can’t remember very well, how’d he do the… smoking hole in the ground thing?
teleporter
it’s easy to forget that this guy is actually really good at the ole’ super science.
Given the inclusion of random stuff near him when teleporting, I’m waiting for the inevitable switcharoo from Langelaan’s “The Fly”
Plot twist, Schtein’s interns didn’t use the teleporters, they accidentally aimed the Strategic Remote Pothole Creator (or SRPC, really rolls off the tongue) at his location, and Schtein is now sitting 3 meters below street level in the sewers, staring at a family of confused rats. ;-)
Now that’s a tactical retreat! Like his weird little flip-phone, but they really need to work on the area damage. I mean at-least have it make you float or jump so you wont leave the obvious missing chunk of land when you teleport XD, but that’s future doctors problem to solve.
I know its not in his character and he is trying not to snap and ruin the relationship further, but her comment on him having a father and knowing he loved him rings hollow from prior pages of the comics thanks to the framed suicide and his mothers abuse + blaming him for his fathers death for years. Wonder if, or how, she will find out about that and what her uncle will tell her now that she has met her father and wants more answers.
Great background work, the color changes were a nice touch. The highlight for me is the smoke from the last panel. The looks of disgust from the first 2 panels made me chuckle, you can see the family resemblance there.
If that’s the effect of Schtein’s teleporter, I’m not sure it looks… healthy.
Herv, you do know you could’ve just, y’know, said goodbye and walked away, like a sane person, right? Or called a taxi cab.
Sure, be a drama queen and traumatize your daughter who now thinks you spontaneously combusted out of sheer awkwardness or got atomized by an invisible orbital laser or abducted by aliens or something.
At least Schtein had the decency to not do *that* inside the house.
Ah, Mad Science and Property Damage, they go together like bears and honey.
I love watching Schtein fuck up his relationships like a pro, it’s so funny.
To be fair to him though, he’s a genetic freak with a pamphlet full of abnormalities, his mother physically and psychologically abused him for their entire existence together, except for perhaps when he was too developmentally stunted to carry much of those memories forward.
His father literally allowed his grandfather to do human experiments on him AFTER the mans daughter died from literally the same thing, and then his dear old dad who offered him up like a guinea pig literally killed himself rather than deal with the consequences.
Schtein absolutely did not know he had a loving father, and he was tormented at every turn by his family, literally his entire experience of adults is abuse and human experimentation, as his mother literally wrote books built upon her knowledge of how children react by testing the notions on her son.
Glorious idiot though he may be, Schtein can see he would make for a destabilizing element in any persons life, let alone a childs.
Schtein being a literal no-show in his kids life *is* fucked, but considering who he is, and where he’s been working, it’s honestly completely understandable, he’s just a human disaster, and he was working in super ultra mega secret science lab.
I think he could have wrote letters, maybe explained that while he is *terrible* and should *never* be around his daughter, that he still cares about her, and that would have gone a long way, but he also sucks at being a human person, so tact is hardly in the cards.
Love the teleport btw, now Alice is gonna go inside to uncle Larry and sob to him that her dad blew up lmao
