So rat is a gonna become his minion? That gets me thinking that they will takeover the prison, and the prisoners will become his henchman. I guess I will have to wait to find out.
i dont think schtein got that lollipop cause of his ‘good behavior’ lol
btw schetein in panel 2 and everything else is amazing and poor krow ; – ; i kinna feel bad for him
What happened between pages forty and forty one?? Oh man oh man, this is so exciting! As in heart is actually racing a wee bit. I like the slightly bluer colouring, makes his red eyes really pop out.
Thank you so much for putting this online and please continue the awesome work.
This other prisoner slightly reminds me of Jervis Tetch in the looks department. I think it’s his nose and his big eyes. Maybe , I’m stupid like that T:
Holy crap, the guy in the third panel looks like Phineas. :O How did he turn from that Krow-looking guy in panel one to Phineas in panel three?? It’s a mystery!!
Kind of surprised the amount of sympathy Krow’s getting, considering how much of a scumbag he was, previous minionship be damned. I mean yeah he does look kind of pathetic and miserable, and I like him as a character, but
I’m not really going “b’awwww poor Krow.”
That said, I do like the potential of Krow becoming Schtein’s minion. Every mad scientist needs a
minion, and Krow seems like a good place to start.
Lastly, I love the new details you’ve added to Krow’s face. I agree with Hugh, I saw a lot of Jervis Tetch i
Krow from panel 4.
yeah, Krow’s disgusting and not at all deserving of sympathy, but I’m sure what little sympathy he’s gained given his relationship with Drew will fly out the window in the next page or so. :Y
You could consider that maybe he knocked Stein out on purpose earlier to save him from whatever the skinheads were planning as he likely knew that it “wouldn’t be as fun” if Stein was unconscious.
I like to think maybe he’s not as bad as we all think :P
oh man alternate future michael bay. This must exist somehow in the universe of the comic. I must give someone bad movie taste, but who… Obviously Delia.
This has to be my favorite page so far, artwise. Also, good to know that advertisement hasn’t changed- still crappy drug settlement ads. Schtein in all these panels and Krow especially in panel four is better than they’ve ever looked!
Honestly, this comic just keeps getting better and better, I can’t get enough of the gorgeous art and the interesting story. Can this be the beginning of Schtein moving away from the bottom of the food chain? He’s got to have a reputation by now after all…
Wow, the potential henchmen/minions are lining up at Schtein’s feet! Though I suppose a prison would be the logical place for henchminions to line up. JayJay’s the kinda sorta friend who may go with Schtein to the “Mad science” side. Phineas would probably join him for sh**s and giggles. And now we have this page to tell us why Krow might follow him. Nice potential foreshadowing and overall writing, Beckey.
WOW< someones that desperate to serve under Herville, will the world never cease to amaze me?!?P.S. will Herville have his own privet army within the week?
Gotta love the little details.
Well, in the first four panels, anyways. Then when the background all but disappears, speech bubbles come to the rescue. :3
You are really good at making pitiful characters, you know that? Like they are all just really human and flawed and I don’t think there is a single character in this comic that doesn’t need a cookie and a hug.
Except Phineas. Phineas just needs another good punch in the jaw.
Ah, I read on the very first page that the beginning pages are going to get some sort of redo for printing? That’s fine, but so many of us absolutely LOVE watching the art grow! So if you can pls pls pls leave the original panels somewhere? So we can go back now and then and watch it grow all over again
and over and over and over again?
What is on TV, a purple dinosaur fighting a scorpion? Who knew future pokemon was such good prison TV. Also: I like the line about being “handy” when he asks to be a prison bitch, no innueno needed here.
But I think we missed a page from the last comic strip.
artgasm
Make that a double.
I’ll vouch for a triple.
Make it a fourgasm
Fuenf…
Room for one more?
It’s an art orgy!
Perfect avatar for that.
So rat is a gonna become his minion? That gets me thinking that they will takeover the prison, and the prisoners will become his henchman. I guess I will have to wait to find out.
I support everything about this!
Aww, his first minion. A proud day in every evil genius’ life.
Krow*

Never mind! Looked at the character page and realised Drew wasn’t the crazy glasses guy (I’m terrible at keeping names straight in my head).
you must be thinking of Phineas, then. Unfortunately he’s perfectly fine.
This other prisoner slightly reminds me of Jervis Tetch in the looks department. I think it’s his nose and his big eyes. Maybe , I’m stupid like that T:
aww, i was almost sure this was a guy we’d seen in a previous page – http://www.stringtheorycomic.com/comics/chapter-three/page-nine-2/
(guy in the first panel on the left)… guess its not quite the same guy ;-;
I think he’s on a different page. When Dr. Schtein asked Jayjay for a favor.
*later realised the guy is krow and i didnt recognise him until id read peoples comments*
well now I just feel silly >=P
Holy crap, the guy in the third panel looks like Phineas. :O How did he turn from that Krow-looking guy in panel one to Phineas in panel three?? It’s a mystery!!
uhh… because the camera angle changed from behind Schtein to in front of him. That is Phineas behind them. :O
Oh my god how did I not notice that!! Attention skills are fail right now. :V
I really love how your style has evolved.
Your attention to detail is top-notch.
Thank you, I am beginning to like where it’s going as well.
He looks older than he really is in the last panel. Grumpy old man. GET OFF MY LAWN!
he usually does. He’s been looking too young lately! Can’t have that.
are they under water? check out the fourth pannel
it’s raining :U
Wait a sec, isn’t the prison in the middle of a desert or something?
it does rain in the desert, just not often.
OHAI KROW

SHUSH BECKEY, I HAD SYMPATHY EVEN BEFORE THIS. DON’T GO RUINING IT.
Oh Krow <3
I ruin everything. :C
Yes you do. And we love you for it. You’re like the Dr. House of webcomics.
You could consider that maybe he knocked Stein out on purpose earlier to save him from whatever the skinheads were planning as he likely knew that it “wouldn’t be as fun” if Stein was unconscious.
I like to think maybe he’s not as bad as we all think :P
Those squiggles around the TVs look just like annoying cartoons sound.
yeah, that TV’s all BLEEP BLONK BOIOIOING CRASH BLOOP. Cartoons aren’t good unless they’re grating as all hell.
Goddamn TV commercials!
day time tv commercials at that. I hear there’s good business to be made in the field of court stenography!
Ew. Please, no touching of the doctor, we can smell you through the computer screen.
Also, those visual effects around the TV screen make it easy to imagine they’re watching some kind of alternate-universe Michael Bay movie. :B
oh man alternate future michael bay. This must exist somehow in the universe of the comic. I must give someone bad movie taste, but who… Obviously Delia.
Nah, smokey CIA spook guy from the very beginning… since I assume he’ll come back. He’ll be spooky and smoke-puff and love bad TROMA films.
This has to be my favorite page so far, artwise. Also, good to know that advertisement hasn’t changed- still crappy drug settlement ads. Schtein in all these panels and Krow especially in panel four is better than they’ve ever looked!
I think I’ve figured out Krow’s facial proportions perhaps. But they’re tough. For some reason people who have smaller chins are harder to draw.
minion #1?
Albert Schtein leveled up! +1 to charisma!
Sims Theory.
FUND IT
OH MAN. I am totally gonna make Hervy on sims! TO THE COMPUTER!
I’ve been wanting to, but unfortunately my copy isn’t working. :C
I actually made one forever ago. Made a Phineas one too. But I havn’t played with them in forever, so they’re just chillin on my sims 3.
Honestly, this comic just keeps getting better and better, I can’t get enough of the gorgeous art and the interesting story. Can this be the beginning of Schtein moving away from the bottom of the food chain? He’s got to have a reputation by now after all…
Loving panel 4. The angles! The perspective. Oh man.
Haha, look at the comments for the page where Krow freaked out and kicked the doctor’s face in. So many people knew he’d be back. :D

He already seems to have a small posse, despite not really liking any of them.
I stared at his ears. So pointy <3
And his Lollipop stick. He's turning into a stereotypical badass xD
Woo hoo, Minion #1!
Ew, dude probably still has tons of Drew germs all over ‘im.
Don’t forget in him! >:D
…… *vomits* Ewww. GOD, i regret making that joke :U
NO REGRETS!!
ZOMG HIS FIRST MINION!
I just noticed the “settlement” commerical text in the background. xDD I wonder if you be eligible for settlements in prison?
is it just me or does it feel like the Krovack Rat would offer a blowjob for security?
“I SUCK YOUR D-!” XD
I apologize to everyone for this joke: “I’m good with my hands!” “Okay wear this wig and call me Doctor!”
………okay I don’t apologize.
Gotta love the little details.
Well, in the first four panels, anyways. Then when the background all but disappears, speech bubbles come to the rescue. :3
Eeeee! Your art is absolutely amazing! I love the angles and facial expressions especially.
You are really good at making pitiful characters, you know that? Like they are all just really human and flawed and I don’t think there is a single character in this comic that doesn’t need a cookie and a hug.
Except Phineas. Phineas just needs another good punch in the jaw.
That is not to say I would offer any of these things to Krow. I am pretty sure he is a nasty jerk.
Haha one more comment; Your perspective choices are getting really good.
Ah, I read on the very first page that the beginning pages are going to get some sort of redo for printing? That’s fine, but so many of us absolutely LOVE watching the art grow! So if you can pls pls pls leave the original panels somewhere? So we can go back now and then and watch it grow all over again

But I think we missed a page from the last comic strip.
Look at the color changeee the colorrr change the mood change.
The last page was so hot and this one is so cold. It’s wonderful.
The way the conversation goes in the last three panels is perfect, especially Schtein’s expression. Beautifully executed.
