Never ask Dr. Schtein to make a speech at any sort of serious occasion.
He can ruin weddings, funerals, both Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, graduations, etc etc. No somber gathering is safe.
Edit: No new comic for the week of January 4th. Taking a mental health holiday, see you next week.
Tragic mom-related past. Love it.
Pfft. Gee, I wonder why it didn’t go over well at the funeral. Clearly they don’t understand Schtein’s comedic genius.
Oh wow what a pun. Also, I really love the fact that you made Phineas’s hair out-of-focus in that 2nd-to-last panel.
he’s zooming away from those guys so fast the camera can’t focus on him. I guess.
Is Schtein enjoying himself prehaps? :p
well, it’s more fun, probably, than getting his ass beaten constantly, or sitting alone in a room for months.
Although Phin’s distaste of Krow can be explained by Mom-related past, maybe. Phin had to see his mother die and has visible regret about it (I think? That’s what I’m getting from the dark look and the heavy pause and vague things. Also terrified!Little Phin) and Krow… killed his.
Ouch! Nothin’. And he probably thought he *finally* found some people who’d appreciate the joke.
…someday. Someday someone will laugh at his terrible jokes. He’ll have to marry that person.
Oh. My. God. Did he just go there? He just went there. And I laughed, really loudly and unladylike.
Schtein’s manic smile there at the end… I think he’s a little too excited.
Dr. Schtein’s jokes degrade us all
I would’nt say manic. I would say… cheesy!
Oh Doc. How many people attacked or despised you for that joke at the funeral.
Well, I enjoyed the joke. Heh heh.
Seriously digging the colouring / lighting too. Nick work Becky!
…er, ‘nice’ work. My bad.
Ah, THERE’S the Schtein from chapter one.
The expressions are great here, as usual. Phineas’ hand in the fifth panel seems like it’s bending back a wee bit far, though. The angle seems a tad awkward; well, to me, at least. Maybe I’m confused by the shading. Still, it looks great overall. I especially like the composition in the next-to-last panel.
On a side note, Freud would probably have a field day with this.
Krow is a sad, sad little rat in panel 7.
Someone should give him some cheese.
but he’s a sad little rat in every panel
Ok… question time like I’d even want to see this in your sketch blog! How did Schtein ruin his own wedding? (I’m assuming he did ruin it… somehow)
I think you may have misunderstood me. I said he can, not that he did.
Although, in his case, I’d think he ruined it merely by showing up.
so then he did? XD My assumptions are completely right
Schtein, you hilariously unsensitive douchebag! Am I a terrible person for laughing?
Nah, it’d only be bad if he was a real person.
I love how even the despicable psycho killers are disgusted by Schtein. Dude, just because you’re a mad scientist doesn’t mean you can’t display a little *class.*
In panel 9, is Krow cringing, stifling a laugh, or both? He’s making the face I make when I’m trying not to laugh at something horrible.
sort of neither I guess? He’s just in a lot of pain. Maybe he wasn’t paying attention to dr. schtein’s great joke at all. Too bad for him!
Oh Schtein, you grand asshole!
Can’t wait to find out more about Armastus though. The plot thickens…
This comic is amazing. I just found out about it today from some post on reddit and read it back to back in a couple of hours. Such a strange story and unique storytelling elements. Definitely a favourite from now on.
So, is it a touchy subject for Phineas? The one thing that he will not approach with jovial monstrosity?
Which means it’s possibly what turned him into such a screwed-up person.
I found this from a link on The Meek, and OH IT IS GLORIOUS. I’m still not used to Schtein being all muscular now though.
Phineas kind of reminds me of Rorschach from Watchmen, just wanted to ask if I’m the only one who has this connection.
Found this earlier via a link from Doomsday, My Dear. Devoured it whole and raw, like a lion who stumbled across a gazelle.
Good stuff.
oh, goodness, thank you!
EDIT: Bang your head?
Beautiful face he’s making in the 3rd to last panel
Just read the entire comic in one sitting. Weeeee! So, Unless you have something against it, ( And I wouldn’t Have the slightest why,) Featured.
Yeah, Krow’s not lookin’ too good.
